THE WIBBELSMAN FAMILY – Generational Photo Session Grand Junction
There are moments in life that deserve more than just a quick snapshot on a phone. They deserve to be preserved, celebrated, and cherished for generations to come. That’s exactly what a generational photo session is all about — capturing the heart and history of a family in one beautiful, timeless experience.
Recently, I had the privilege of photographing a generational session that brought together grandparents, their children, and grandchildren — three generations full of laughter, love, and legacy. These sessions are some of my favorites to photograph, not just because of the beautiful portraits that come from them, but because of the meaning behind every frame.
Often times, the family tells me that it was ‘Gradma’s ONLY request’ for her birthday/anniversary is a photo session with all her Family.
This was just the case for Judy’s 75th milestone Birthday.
There’s something incredibly special about seeing your family’s legacy all in one photo. Here are a few reasons why multi-family sessions are worth investing in:
As time passes, photos become more valuable. Capturing multiple generations together allows you to freeze this moment in time — the way your grandmother smiles, the way your kids run to hug their grandpa, the way siblings joke around with each other. These are the moments you’ll look back on years from now and be grateful you documented.
Professional photos of the whole family become treasured keepsakes. Whether printed in an album, displayed on a gallery wall, or passed down to future generations, these images become part of your family’s visual history. It’s a gift not just for you, but for your children and their children.
In today’s fast-paced world, it can be hard to gather everyone in one place. A photo session is the perfect excuse to slow down, reconnect, and spend meaningful time together. And yes — we make it fun! From candid moments to posed portraits, there’s plenty of laughter and bonding along the way.
With multiple families involved, the investment can be shared. It’s an efficient way to get high-quality portraits of individual families, sibling groups, grandparents with grandkids, and the full group — all in one session. Everyone walks away with their own set of memories.
Planning is key to making a multi-family session smooth and enjoyable. I always help with location scouting, outfit coordination suggestions, and a shot list to make sure we cover all the combinations that matter to you. Think: full family, just grandparents, all grandkids, individual families, siblings, and even some playful, candid moments in between.
These sessions often bring out the best in everyone — from the pride in a grandparent’s eyes to the giggles of cousins playing together. It’s about celebrating where your family comes from and the love that holds you all together.
Judy and Cheri, Thank You so much for putting your trust in me to create Fine Art of Your Family. I know you will cherish you Wall Art and Fine Art Albums for decades to come.
Cant wait to catch you at the next milestone!
Much Love, Csilla
