DeKalb, IL, Ellwood House Family Photographer | M Family

I've had a handful of extended family shoots recently, and I've gotta say, I'm loving it!! It really is a special thing to see the legacy that can come from just two people, and documenting that is truly an honor! 

Kids are so funny and unpredictable! I love it!

Carole & Bill.

Courtney, John, Cora, & Nellie. 

Being one is tough stuff, especially when it's a bajillion degrees outside. 

Nellie was all about pictures!

Emlyn, Abby, Evie, & Andy

That handholding lasted for about .7398402938023 seconds, but I'm a photo ninja!

The Little House is always a kid favorite at the Ellwood House! According to their website, it was build it 1891!! I definitely wanted to live there when I was a kid! Still kinda do, actually... 

If I remember correctly, this was the first time this bunch had had professional family pictures taken since before all the kids were born!! It's crazy how fast and how much things can change in six or seven years!!

When was the last time you had your extended family photographed? It's been a few years for us and we've got one more kiddo than we had last time, and two soon to be siblings-in-law, so I'm thinking it's time!! Keep me accountable, people!! :D
