The Pike Family’s Multi-Generational Family Photo Session
When Wendy reached out about doing a multi-generational family photo session, I was all in. She wanted photos of her and her hubby, their kids, spouses, and grandkids—all together at their gorgeous home in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.
I mean, their house is right on the lake!
Talk about a dream spot for family photos… especially around sunset.
July was the perfect month for this session. The weather was warm, the lake was sparkling, and the vibe was just right for some outdoor fun. Honestly, the whole setup was stunning, but what made it even better was the Pike family themselves.
Transported Back
As I was photographing the Pike family at their gorgeous lakefront home, I couldn’t help but get a little emotional. Watching the kids run around, laugh, and enjoy lake life brought back so many memories from my own childhood.
Growing up, my siblings and I spent summers and holidays at my grandparents’ lake house. We fished, swam, ice-skated in winter—you name it.
Seeing the Pike kids having that same carefree fun reminded me just how precious those moments are. It made this session feel even more special, and I wanted to capture every ounce of their joy.
Why Multi-Generational Photos Are So Important
This session wasn’t just about snapping pictures—it was about freezing a moment in time. Watching the Pike family joke around and love on each other reminded me why I’m so passionate about multi-generational photos.
If you ask me if there was something I regret, it’s not having more photos with my grandparents. Those relationships are priceless, and having photos to look back on is something you can never get enough of. That’s why I’m such a big believer in getting professional photos with grandparents, kids, and everyone in between.
A Favorite Moment
One of my favorite shots from the day was of little Lilly. She found a real lily flower and was so excited to show it to me. But when she came running up, I couldn’t help but notice her sweet freckles, those adorable missing teeth, and the pure joy on her face. I just had to snap a close-up.
It’s one of those photos that’s simple, yet so precious—it totally melted my heart.
A Session Full of Laughs
The Pike kids were a hoot. Seriously, we were laughing the whole time. They brought so much energy and kept the session lighthearted and fun. It was obvious how much this family loves being together. There’s a connection there that you can’t fake, and it was awesome to capture it all.
Every hug, every joke, and even the goofy moments—it was all real, and that’s what made it special. These photos aren’t just pictures. They’re memories, plain and simple.
