I couldn’t be happier that these families now have photos of everyone they love most, all together. It was such an honor to photograph a 92-year-old grandma Elizabeth and her sweet family. Her daughter Carol organized this family photo session while they were vacationing at Oglebay Resort.

I do wish I had photographs like this with my grandmother. She was 96 years old when she passed away, and I don’t believe my family has any great photos of us all together from later in her life. I can’t tell you how gratifying it is to create images for my clients that will be treasured for generations.

This session was filled with so much laughter and joy. It was somewhat challenging to get everyone to cooperate, but everyone did very well, and we’ve captured a great variety of photos. I loved how the entire family was trying to make grandma Elizabeth smile. And let me tell you I think they succeeded! Just look at her smile! She was so sweet and handled all the photos like a champ!

After getting all the extended family photos out of the way, we went to a different location to take a few photos of Kinkoph family only. The morning forecast made it possible to shoot at this lovely place with a great view and beautiful flowers.

Here are some of my favorites from this extended family photo session
