What a joy! I love doing extended family sessions, especially when the session was a Mother’s Day gift for Grandma. It isn’t often enough that we plan or gather the entire family together to capture some keep sake images. Come to find out, it was three children ago that this particular family had photos taken together as complete group.

This session was at one of my new favorite places, Brighton Light House. The backyard is a little secret paradise. Although these images were taken in Michigan, they have a tropical vibe, given the stunning landscape and the perfect combo of colors this family choose. Combined the stunning backdrop, add the attire, then sprinkle in some backlighting and voilà…magic!

Look how happy Grandma is surrounded by all the ones she loves the most. It makes it so exciting to post the sneak peek.

Thank you for choosing me for this special Mother’s Day gift. I am blessed to have witnessed the love surrounding you all. It was so fun to watch all your children interact with Grandma and each other. Now this last image of the cousins must be saved in the vault, to be later recreated in 20 years. XO – Kelly Harper
