byGinny Photography: April's Extended Family Photos

A few days before Christmas, I received a phone call from a lady named April as a referral from another one of my friends Jessica. April said that some of her family was in town from out of state and she was hoping to get some pictures with her family, her siblings, her mom and her grandma.

As you all know, I do enjoy taking all sorts of photos, but I genuinely enjoy taking pictures of new parents and elderly people. I guess because those two things in a family are so monumental. As morbid as it sounds, the generations that came before us won't be around forever, so I love it when a family asks me to take photos "with grandma/grandpa". Those photos will be treasured so much after they leave this Earth and I love knowing that I took part and shared in that experience.

Anyway - because of the holiday - we weren't sure if we could pull everyone together for an indoor photoshoot, since it's so cold out

. We compared our schedules and decided that I would meet at April's house on Saturday evening!

When I arrived, her family was so welcoming and I definately felt right at home. April's kids are the cutest kiddos EVER!

Meet Jared and Paige

I'm not sure if I'm getting the spelling correct, but Jared (the big brother) is 4 and Paige (the little sister) is 2. They were so fun! Jared had tons of trains and wanted them in nearly every picture. Paige had a new FurReal Kitty and it showed up in quite a few photos as well !

Where did these two gorgeous children come from?

Meet April and Nick...

I learned while i was at their house, that they've been married for 10 years!! CONGRATS GUYS!!

What a beautiful family..

I couldn't leave out the trains!

...Nor the Kitty!!

April's mom joined in the fun with her sweet grandbabies too!

(Notice the kitty and trains made it in the picture too!)

While the kiddos took a break from photos and ate some pizza, I got to hang out with Tiffany and Seth, April's brother and sister in law!
