Capturing Generations: Why Booking an Extended Family Session is the Perfect Mother's Day Gift

As a Wisconsin family photographer, I can't emphasize enough the joy and significance of booking an extended family session as a Mother's Day gift. This thoughtful gesture goes beyond just taking photos; it's about capturing cherished moments of everyone together, from grown children with their mom to precious interactions with grandchildren.

There's something truly magical about bringing together multiple generations for a photo session. It's a rare opportunity to freeze time and document the bonds that span across ages and experiences. As a photographer, I've witnessed the immense joy and love that radiates during these sessions.

For moms, having their entire family gathered around them, laughing, hugging, and sharing tender moments, is a priceless gift. It's a chance to capture the essence of family unity and the unique connections that define each relationship. These photos become more than just images; they evolve into treasured heirlooms that families revisit and cherish for years to come.

One of the most touching aspects of photographing extended families on Mother's Day is seeing grown children interact with their mom and watching grandchildren light up with excitement as they create memories together. These moments are genuine, heartfelt, and irreplaceable.

Imagine the joy on a mother's face when she receives a beautifully framed photograph of her surrounded by her loved ones. It's a gift that keeps on giving, bringing back memories of that special day and serving as a tangible reminder of the deep bonds shared within the family.

If you're looking for a meaningful Mother's Day gift that transcends material presents, consider booking an extended family session. It's a gift of time, togetherness, and everlasting memories—a tribute to the remarkable woman who holds your family together with love and strength.

All together AND each family

When I photograph extended families, I always get everyone together then all the different dynamics. Like each smaller family unit, just the cousins, grandma & grandpa with the grandkids, the grown children with mom & dad, etc. It’s the perfect way to get the extended family but also your individual family!

Traditional and Documentary Style


I love to get both traditional photos and some fun ones in my sought after style. Some client have even booked a documentary style session where I stay for an hour after our traditional photos and capture them just being together. (I even help plan a fun activity so everyone feels natural and knows what to expect!)

Showing Love and Appreciation

A professionally curated family portrait session is a tangible expression of love and appreciation for mom. It's a chance for every family member to come together, dressed in their best, to capture genuine smiles, laughter, and heartfelt interactions. The resulting images become cherished keepsakes that mom will treasure for years to come, reminding her of the love and joy shared within her family.
