all together | la grange family photography

It was so much fun to photograph this family, they hadn’t had a family photo session in a long time. So many of us stop taking the time to get photos taken after the kids are a little bit more grown up. School pictures (of often questionable quality) are often the only ones we have between those baby/toddler years and senior photos. Don’t forget those in between years, people! They are so important too!

We got everyone together here for this shoot, even the family pooch. I found out he was a bit obsessed with sticks, so I held one out on top of my head while I was shooting to get him to look right at me. There’s always a trick you can use…

And mom had a fun idea towards the end of our shoot – to grab a shot of all four attached to their smartphones, as she so often sees them nowadays. Thanks Kelly family, it was fun!
