I absolutely love photographing multiple generations of a family—especially when it takes place on property filled with memories. This extended family photography session in Mocksville, North Carolina was captured on the Sniders’ personal land, a space where childhood adventures, holiday traditions, and milestone celebrations have unfolded for decades.
From the very first planning call, the Snider family expressed a clear desire: timeless portraits that would live beyond the screen. Not just digital files sitting on a hard drive, but beautiful, printed heirlooms for their home and office. Together, we chose outfits that complemented each person and made sure the session felt relaxed, personal, and meaningful.
We captured the moments that matter most—grandkids playing “red light, green light,” laughter shared over melting ice cream on the porch, and heartfelt hugs between generations. Documenting those real-life connections, in a place so deeply personal, brought this session to life in a beautiful way.
The Sniders are the proud owners of Snider Insurance in Statesville, NC, where a family portrait has always greeted clients at the office entrance. Their previous photo was taken when their daughters were still in high school! This time, they chose a large, professionally matted and framed portrait to replace the old one—a striking black wood frame that now holds a piece of their family’s story and legacy. It’s more than décor—it’s connection, identity, and memory.
If you’ve been thinking about gathering your loved ones for an extended family session, now is the perfect time. Whether it’s your first professional portrait or a new tradition, I’d love to help you preserve your legacy through heirloom artwork that’s designed to last.
