The Freund’s In-Home Extended Family Session

The Freund Family

A candid photo captured of grandparents, parents, and grandchildren gathered on their living room sofa.

Linda, it was an absolute pleasure to spend time with you and your family during your recent extended family session. To capture the love and laughter shared by all of you, especially during the holiday season.

Can you believe how blessed you are to be Nana to four adorable grandchildren? Chloe, Sophie, Ollie, and Freya are so lucky to have you in their lives.

The tradition of updating your family photos every other year is a beautiful one, and I am thrilled to be a part of it. The snowstorm put a slight kink in our plans, but it couldn’t dampen the festive spirit and excitement of your family coming together.

As I scroll through your photos, I can’t help but smile at the joyful expressions and tender moments we captured. Moments that are over in the blink of an eye yet mean so much in the grand scheme of things.

The love that passed between you and Freya. The silliness shared by Chloe and Sophie as they clung to each other in a hug. Ollie’s delight at being held upside down by his dad.

Let’s not forget Richard’s dog, Cheeto. He was so curious about what was going on. I’m glad he decided to sit still for a moment so that I could grab a quick shot of his serious little face.

The gallery of family pictures that decorate your home speaks volumes about how much Richard, Kristen, Josh, Zach, Kealin, Chloe, Sophie, Ollie, and Freya mean to you. I’m sure that seeing photos of them every day brings back happy memories and fills your heart with joy.

I have so many fond memories of our time together, and I look forward to seeing photos with your newest grandchild up on your wall.

Here are just a few of my favorite photos from your extended family session. I hope they tug on your heartstrings and bring a tear to your eye. Enjoy!
