Blended Family Pictures in American Fork, Utah
When you have this many kids in a blended family, it’s no secret it’s near impossible to get everyone together. Trina and her family were no different.
I worked with Trina to get her book cover photos a while back. I was so excited when she called for her family pictures. It had been over three years since the entire crew was together, but over the Christmas break, this family made it happen!
We met up on Main Street in American Fork and literally caught a perfect 30 minute window with no rain to get this photo’s done.
As a blended family mama myself, it’s always so tender to see other families in similar situations. I loved how comfortable everyone was together. And I also loved being able to get some breakout pics with just girls/boys, and also some of the OG kids with their OG parent.
I know it can be touchy figuring out how to ensure no one feels left out in blended family pictures. As a kid FROM a blended family, what I can say is I feel it’s so important to ask your kids what they would like. Sometimes, it’s not about “not liking” step families. It’s more about just wanting a picture without feeling shamed about it — no reason needed.
If you have a blended family, I am confident of my ability to work well to figure out how to get the images everyone wants from their time in front of the camera!
