When Katie reached out to me about scheduling an extended family session, it was the perfect opportunity to capture something truly special. With the entire family in town together, she wanted updated photos in a place they love spending time—New Buffalo, Michigan—making the session even more meaningful.
I’ve had the honor of photographing the Matis family for the past few years, and getting to document their big, beautiful, multi-generational crew was such a joy. From grandparents to grandkids, their session was filled with laughter, connection, and the kind of love that only grows stronger with time. Grandma and Grandpa keep things lively (there’s truly never a dull moment!), and it’s so clear how close-knit and genuine this family is.
Sessions like this are a reminder of how important it is to pause and preserve these moments—especially when everyone is together. The Matis family is as sweet as they come, and I’m so grateful to continue capturing their memories year after year.
