Heather reached out to plan an extended family session to help celebrate her parent’s Gayle and Jim’s 5oth anniversary with their kids and grandkids. It was a beautiful fall day with a peek of some changing colors and so much love and silliness with this beautiful family. Our goal was to freeze this moment with so many kids in the prime of childhood and to include some family heirloom quilts that have been passed down in the family with images of each individual family and the larger extended family.
The family shared: Ryan texted, “So many great pictures! My face hurts again now after laughing and smiling so much looking through them!”
Heather said, “I’m just so grateful that you set us all at ease immediately (kind of stressful to get all together for a fancy thing that is out of our usual comfort zone) and brought out the best in everyone. When I look at the photos, I don’t just see us, I see our personalities, our relationships with each other, and best of all, I see the love my parents have shared for more than 50 years.“
Congrats to Gayle & Jim- 50 years is amazing and they have such a beautiful family. I am grateful to be invited to document you right now!
A visual storyteller that focuses on human emotion & connection. I help families, individuals, & couples to share their beautiful messy story.
I also partner with humanitarian, non-for-profit organizations, and individuals building their brand share their stories with intention, dignity, & excellence, so they can have a greater impact on their communities.
I must admit I wasn’t anticipating having a lot fun getting our pictures taken. But it was lots of fun! We have had whole family get togethers through the years and I belive this one is right at the top of the list. Thank you Roxanne for getting us in the mood so you could capture great pictures, and of course thanks to the organizing committee.
Beautiful family! Thanks for including us as part of it all these years!
Boy these pictures are absolutely gorgeous and so depict the family you created!
So nice that that you captured everyone’s individuality.
Congratulations on your 50 years and letting us join in the fun and love you always show for others!
Well done!
What beautiful pictures of a beautiful family that is full of love and lots of fun!
Thanks for letting us join you in your journey called life!
