the hilgenkamp family

I had a great time reconnecting with my dear friend Emily when we did this session with her wonderful family! They were all back at the family farm for a rare gathering of siblings from Brazil to North Dakota! It was such a treat!

This first one was a particular request from Grandma – the grandkids with them on the handmade teeter totter that’s been in the family for generations.

Can you even imagine the fun these guys have together??

Laurie’s family made the trip back to Nebraska from Bismarck, ND. This photo was moments before my personal favorite in which the youngest, Vyla, gave her daddy a butt chin. 😉 You’ve gotta love both the classic and the kid-centric ones!

Amy’s crew would have let me photograph them allllllll morning. Especially sweet Leah – the camera loves that girl!

And Emily’s adorable family, back in the States for a bit! So special to have some cousin time and lots of love from Grandma and Grandpa. 🙂

London, you cutie, you may have been exhausted during this shoot, but this photo is 100% worth it.

A huge hug and THANK YOU to you, Hilgenkamp family! I love that you pulled off group photos during your short window of family time. It was such a pleasure to capture it for you!
