The Burge Family- Denver Multi-Generational Photography

I am so thankful for this family and how much fun they were.  I headed to this session after spending 15+ hours at a hospital for a birth session.  I hadn't really slept and I came straight from the hospital in my comfy pants and no shower.  I was a little tired (to say the least) but after 5 minutes with this family, I was laughing and energized.

I love working with big families.  I love creating photos for them that will last for generations.  That someday many years from now the kids will look back at these photos with their grandparents and remember the love they shared.

After being away from Colorado, Mark and his family decided to move back.  And within a year.....everyone followed them.  Now they are all Coloradans once again.  

You can tell that this family loves each other.  They have great camaraderie and by the end of the session I felt like I was a part of their family.  It was just what I needed that day!

These are the two that started it all.....and they are adorable.

The Joe Burge Family.

Boy moms are my favorite!

Can you feel the love? 

The Mark Burge Family.

Such beautiful girls.

Can you say photogenic?  Because this guy sure can.  Those dimples....

These two are pretty darn awesome.

 

Cousins are the best!

The kids.  So. Much. Fun.

Thanks for making it such a fun session and for accepting me into your family.  I loved every minute with you guys!  You are so lucky to have each other.

The Wass Extended Family- Denver Multigenerational Photography

I love big ol' families!  I love to watch the connections between the family members and to see the love they have for one another.

This one was special as it was the grandparents with all of their grand kids from near and far.  

Some of the cousins were flying in for their fall break and they decided it would be a good time to get some updated family pictures and do a gift for the grandparents.  I love that!

 

They did a fantastic job of pulling all of the outfits together even though they were shopping in different states.  Thank goodness for camera phones, text messages and email.

Some of these cousins hadn't even met until the day before our session and yet they all seemed like the best of friends! 

They were so sweet together and they were a pleasure to work with.

These are some seriously good-lookin' kids!

I was a little nervous with so many young kids, but once again as I have found with so many big family sessions that the kids were very well behaved.  I try to be relaxed and have fun with the kids and that usually puts everyone at ease.

Thanks Denise for pulling this together.  What a blessing it is to have family together and to be able to document those relationships.

The Green Family- Denver Extended Family Photography

Some photographers avoid extended family pictures like the plague.  Not this girl.  I LOVE documenting big ol' families.  They are some of my favorite sessions.  And this family was a favorite among favorites!   Prepare for an onslaught of pictures.  I had a really hard time narrowing it down (to the tune of 233 pictures in their gallery).

Someone (age and name are omitted to protect their identity) had a milestone birthday and she wanted family pictures.  Isn't that what every mom/grandma wants??  If you are looking for a gift idea, give the gift of pictures.  It will earn you serious brownie points guys!!

First came love....then came marriage.

Then came the babies in the baby carriage.  Including a set of identical twins!  Sisters are the best...especially when you share the womb.

The brothers.

I was a little nervous going into this session for a couple of reasons.  First, between the two girls they have 4 kids ages 2 and under.  That can be very tricky.  But as you can see.....they were amazing!  I have never had such an easy session with so many little ones.  They were fantastic!

Secondly, this beautiful lady is a fellow photographer and that is always such a compliment to be asked to do pictures for a fellow photog but also a little intimidating.  However, they usually have great styling and they NAILED it.  Don't they all look amazing?  Good job guys.  This is the Shaw Family.

 The Melton Family.

I brought along my oldest son to help corral the kids and he had fun chasing them around and getting them to smile.  He was a great asset.  Of course, in true mom fashion I didn't actually take any picture of him playing with the kids (#momfail #blogfail).  Not that these kids needed any corralling, have I said how amazing they were???  Grandpa did a pretty good job of keeping the boys busy too. 

Is this not the most amazing picture of grandparents with their precious grandkids?  Look how perfect those kids are being!! 

The Grands.  Now keep in mind this picture was one of the last pictures I took at the end of our 2 HOUR session.  Not perfect, but still pretty darn good.  

Elijah (2)

Ezekiel (2)

Nora (8 months)

Asher (who is only a few weeks old) 

Had to sneak in a few sibling pictures which can be tricky with little ones.

 My favorite pictures are the ones of mom and dad just loving on their kids.  These will just about make your heart melt.

The boys vs. the girls.  I think the boys are winning.  Time to add some more girls to the mix!!

These candids are some of my favorite pictures.  You can just feel the love and friendship between this amazing family.  How lucky they are to have each other!!!

This family is truly a blessing to so many and it was an honor to spend time with them and to freeze this crazy, fun, exciting, exhausting time in their lives.

Need a gift idea for the upcoming Christmas season??  Think about booking an extended family session.  I will be around during Thanksgiving and Christmas if you want to book a session.  Visit www.photolilo.com or give me a ring at 303-570-1751.
