Nothing is more sweet than getting to capture memories for a family, especially when you’ve had the privilege of being their family photographer since their wedding day. I loved meeting up with the Kirsten, Justin, and Nora at Riverbend Winery for their family photos near Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

Family Photos Near Eau Claire, at Riverbend Winery

I love being able to shoot at Riverbend.  It is the most gorgeous venue and they are so family friendly too! My boys even love bringing a football and tossing it around in their yard while my husband and I enjoy a glass of wine. This makes it the perfect place for a family photos near Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Mom and Dad- you can grab a yourself a little reward after the session is done ;). I also love the look of the long rows of trees and vines that comes with a vineyard. It is so beautiful.

Family Photo Session Day

The weather was definitely warm this day! And even though were were prepared for fall photos, but we got gorgeous images anyway! As always, I LOVED Nora’s spunk; we had so much fun together. Nora loved telling me about her dress and how she picked it out, but I especially loved the way it twirled when she spun among the grapes. So stinking PERFECT! Another think I love about family photo sessions is that we are able to balance posed images with fun, genuine moments of the family interacting. One of my favorite images from this entire session is where Nora is running with her arms wide open toward her parents. The pure joy that this image captured is everything I try to show when I take family portraits.

The Beauty of Mini Sessions

Though I do love being able to spend a full hour with families and have time to capture all those little in between moments, this session was actual a mini session and I ended up delivery over 100 images. We were able to capture such variety in that amount of time, even photos with just Kirsten and Justin!  Just a few of my favorites from their session are below!
