Ellison Bay's Bayview Resort | Three Sisters and Their Families
Every year, three sisters (who are now grandmothers themselves) spend a week at the Bayview Resort with their families. That’s incredible! I don’t know about you, but I can’t imagine coordinating my schedule with 31 other people for an entire week. It’s also amazing how close a family this size is. I know that my grandparents have brothers and sisters, but I don’t think I’ve ever met them (and certainly not their children or their children’s children).
Sturgeon Bay's Bayshore Inn | Five Generations Family Session
I photograph families of all different sizes, and with 29 people the DeVries family session was twice the size of my second largest of the year so far. 29 is a lot of people, but it’s understandable when you have FIVE generations in a single photograph! That’s incredible!
Marti and Morry's 50th Wedding Anniversary | Ephraim, WI
Marti and Morry celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this year, and they called me and scheduled a photography session for themselves and their family. One of my favorite moments from the morning was when the kids came up to me (they were very photogenic) and said “We want to jump!”
Jacksonport Beachfront Airbnb | Cheers to 80 Years Extended Family Photography Session
Beth scheduled a photography session for her mother’s 80th birthday, but she and her family got so much more than just a group photograph. After getting a few awesome pictures of everyone together, we split into smaller groups and got a TON of work done in an hour. In addition to the large group photograph, we captured grandma with all her grandchildren, each individual family, a mini engagement session, a champagne pop, and candids of everyone having a great time!
Judy and Paul's 50th Wedding Anniversary on Kangaroo Lake in Bailey's Harbor
Families gather in Door County from many places and for many reasons. For Judy and Paul, their entire family flew from as far north at Canada and as far west as California to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. They spent the weekend together at a house rental on Kangaroo Lake and were blessed with fantastic weather for early May. After editing their photographs today, I enjoyed the evening napping on the porch with my wife and cat. Congratulations to Judy and Paul for the love you’ve shared for 50 years, and I’m excited to do the same :)
Casadont Family Christmas | Large Family Photography Session
The holidays are a time for family reunions, and for the Casadont crew that means several flights from California back to Sturgeon Bay. If you’re thinking of hiring a photographer for your family, I’d love to walk you through my process.
