The Krause family’s fall extended family session was full of joy, last-minute pivots, and genuine connection. Capturing their growing family each year has been one of the most rewarding parts of my extended family photography work in Edmonton.

Photographing my own extended family for the first time was both hectic and heartwarming. From wrangling toddlers to setting up the perfect “big family” shot, this fall family photography session was a milestone moment in my journey as a photographer.

These in-home Christmas minis transformed my living room into a cozy, joy-filled space for 18 families—proof that the heart behind a session matters more than the setup.
