the gang’s all here! — family photos at mohonk mountain house

“Love is the greatest gift that one generation can leave to another.” – Richard Garnett

When you’ve got all the grandkids together in one beautiful place … that’s something to celebrate! I met up with this beautiful family a few weeks ago at Mohonk Mountain House in order to capture the whole extended family together … in various ways. Grandparents. Cousins. Laughter. Silliness. Grumpy faces. Snuggles. It’s just SO special to have everyone together, especially special since this family has come to Mohonk for decades.

And let me tell you, this family is made up of troopers! Extended family shoots aren’t the easiest … it’s a lot of people to coordinate! But we happened to have an incredibly hot and humid morning here in the Hudson Valley on the day of their family photos. Lots of people + hot and humid + lots of little ones + a newborn is a LOT to juggle. But they did so great … and at the very end of the photo session, even voluntarily climbed a hill to put the whole family up in a tree house (my favorite family shot, for sure!). Which means … they’re officially … amazing!!

I literally go into overdrive on these family shoots as there are cute kids aaaaaaaaall over the place!!!!! The same thing happens at weddings when I have a gorgeous couple, gorgeous cake, gorgeous decor, and precious children all in one room. I start spinning in circles trying to capture it all!

Have you ever thought about having an extended family session? Shoot me an email at preciousmemoriespix@gmail.com. I’d love to dream up something special with you. I promise that even though it’s a lot to organize (and it is), it’s completely and totally worth it!

XO,
Kate
