FAMILY PHOTOS! It’s such a momentous occasion when singles unite, create a gorgeous being, and get to start the never-ending family photo tradition! And with such a cutie pie on board, these three were beaming with family love. What an honor it was to photograph them as a young family who understand the importance of creating and capturing these special times!

‘Tis the season for those yearly family photos! No matter the holiday you celebrate, it’s a great reminder to capture the growth and love between your favorite people. Our sessions are always personal and on-location depending the wishes and inspiration each client has. And as such, we do not offer 'mini-sessions’ or backdrop set-ups. When shooting in an un-posed, candid manner, those set-ups are too constrained, and our style does not coincide. Lighting is ever-changing, the exploration that happens with children is unpredictable and amazing to witness, and the vision that my clients and myself find along the way is organic and unique. It’s that up-close (though 6 ft away;) and personal vibe that our photos thrive off. And like this family who wanted a Christmas feel, that too can be accomplished with wardrobe, utilizing the right backdrop and colors, and when we get lucky…stumbling upon a perfectly decorated Christmas scene.

So enjoy this sneak peek of some of our FAVORITE Kelilina Family members - of whom we’ve now shot their wedding and little Giovanni’s newborn photos - the Pigas! And can we finally say ‘Let Christmas card season commence!’

Giovanni Newborn

I can’t deny it: when my wedding clients get pregnant, I get fantastically excited! After spending a year helping plan their wedding and witnessing the awesomeness that their big day was, it’s very cool to see their family start. And this is definitely the case with the Pigas. To refresh your memory, here they are a year ago:

My husband and I refer to that day as “the big fun Italian wedding.” It was the best day! And in no time at all - look at this perfect, tiny, sweet little human they made! Baby Giovanni has been born into a wonderful family with two INCREDIBLE parents. And though he refused to nap for us for the photo session, I’m not mad….just look at those eyes we got to admire!

Welcome to the world little buddy!

Prisby Family

These little darlings are my favorite!! [And yes, they’re mine;]

This is us - the Prisbys. We are adventurous and goofy, on-the-move and loving. It’s not easy to photograph yourself, but we make it work. Yearly photos are important to me, since I have to admit that even as a photographer most of our photos are shot on an iPhone. Yes, my husband hates photoshoot day more than any other, just like all your husbands, but he humors me - and of course the kids have meltdowns in between takes, but we just keep exploring + distracting ourselves into new moments:)

We held this photojournalistic session at Jonathan Dickinson State Park since that’s where we lived for our first month in Florida after our 3-month long cross-country camping trip. That was 2 years ago and none of the kids remembered it, so it was fun to explore all over again. It’s one of the best natural beauties this state has to offer with the never-ending golden and sunset hours, the native foliage and silver sawgrass, and the highest elevation south of Okeechobee. Put it on your list of must-sees for sure!

Amairani Maternity

Sometimes the universe has your back. These two were able to make it out to Hawai’i for their babymoon, and had the luck of enjoying their trip and activities, and beaches - all the things you expect to get to do in the islands. Only a few days after this session the beaches closed due to COVID-19, and travel began its restrictions. I’m so glad we were able to capture some beautiful maternity photos for them, just as they had planned.

Thanks to team member Hannah for continuing on with this session for this sweet, deserving couple!

Shooting here in South Florida for Sara Kauss Photography, I was able to meet this family who has roots just 20 miles from where I grew up in Minnesota! It’s always fun to find it a small world and to meet people from literally the nicest place in the world…seriously, it’s coined “Minnesota Nice”, so you have something to compare others’ niceness to!

But gosh did this family prove it - and I had such a great time with the little ones as they’re the same age as my big 2. When mom snuck off for a wardrobe change, the kids came and grabbed me by the hands to show me their next idea for a backdrop. So lovely!

Vacation photos ALWAYS please! This family rented a private home on the Big Island’s coast next door to the Fairmont Orchid…which proves to be one of our favorite places to photograph every time we’re there. Take a walk along their oceanfront path and you’ll see why. Sweeping ocean and mountain views everywhere you turn on pristine grounds. It’s paradise….

The Olschwagners

Our transition to South Florida has been amazing! So many venues and places to shoot, and the lifestyle is quite similar in fact….which is what we were going for. The kicker is with it being a destination, I have families visiting for vacation that of course want some beautiful photos taken while everyone is together (just like Hawai’i!).

This adorable family actually sees each other fairly often, but now with the first grandchild about to turn 1, of course they’ll have to stay updated with their portraits! My favorite part was at the end of the session when he leaped into my arms! And yes, I finished up the last few photos with him on my hip:)
