Dubuque, IA Extended Family Photographer

This family is very near and dear to my heart and I’m so happy to have them back on the blog!! It’s my sister-in-law Mariah’s in-laws, and they adopted Seth and me into their family even before Seth’s sister married into it just over 15 years ago. We’ve taken trips, spent holidays, and shared countless meals with them. My kids even call Jon and Mary “Grandpa and Minnie,” and they are two of the kindest, most hospitable people I know. It’s been about 8 years since the last time I photographed this whole group, and since then they’ve grown by two spouses and four kids!

If you know Kory, you know how normal the following picture is. It’s actually rather tame for him.
