Greene Family | Geist Park Family Portraits

It was a gorgeous late October day when I got to meet up with the Greene family for an extended family portrait session. It is such a feat to get an extended family portrait session together, so I was so impressed with Christina. She pulled this family session together for her siblings, their parents, HER parents and all the grandkids! It was so much fun to be their photographer!

Extended Family Photography

For this extended family session, we decided to stay close, taking pictures in their Hamilton County neighborhood and nearby Geist Park. Geist Park is such a great location for family photos. With 17 acres of wetlands, nature trails and prairies, there are plenty of backdrops for photos and plenty of wide-open spaces for kiddos to run!

The adults had practiced with the kids on what to do when a camera showed up, so they were all enthusiastic smiles! We were able to knock out all the “must-have” groupings within 15 minutes. With a big group like this, it was important to stay organized to make sure that I had all the pictures of Christina and her family, her siblings, and of course… the grandparents (Mammaw and Pappaw) with their sweet grandchildren: Jackson, Ryder, Calvin and Cora.

I loved getting to see the generations as they interacted together. I could definitely see the family resemblance, especially when I got Christina together with her siblings and parents. It was so wonderful to be able to have the whole family together like this, laughing and smiling together.

Once we had all the “must-have” formal family portraits… everyone relaxed. It was time for some fun photos with lots of interaction! All the personalities really came out—especially with the kids. Cora, however, was NOT terribly excited toward the end of the portrait session. She had everyone laughing as she stomped off, hands on hips and full of attitude, during the middle of her solo shots.

Keepsake Family Photo Albums

After the portrait session, Christina and her siblings purchased a gorgeous album for Mammaw and Pappaw. That way, they can keep and enjoy these photos and memories with the kiddos every time they visit. They also purchased a large piece of wall art capturing the entire family for them to enjoy on their wall every day. It makes me so happy when my clients print out their photos so they can see and appreciate them every day!

All in all, this was an exciting extended family portrait session with lots of love, silliness, and hugs between everyone. Thank you so much, Christina for arranging this and for asking me to be your family photographer!
