Some of the most meaningful Kalamazoo family photography sessions happen in places where generations of memories already exist.


Parents and their three adult children stand together on the lawn in front of their family home, surrounded by autumn trees.

It started with these five: Mom, Dad, and the three kids who grew up here.


Grandparents stand together on a wooded path as their grandchildren and dogs run around them in a playful blur of motion.

And over the years, those five became this beautiful, joyful blur of grandkids and dogs running around them.


With the whole family together, we set off to explore the place where so much of their story began. There were leaves to collect, paths to wander, and plenty of room to play.

The places where we grew up hold more than memories. They give us somewhere to gather, share stories, and watch the next generation make memories of their own.


Is there a place that holds your family’s story? I’d love to help you capture it. Let's
