The Busenbark family enjoyed a summer morning together for their Extended Family Session at Cobus Creek Park this August!

What a lovely family! I so enjoyed my time with the Busenbark’s this summer for their session at one of my favorite locations. It was my honor to capture this strong, loving family as they link arms together in support of recent health issues being faced by the patriarch of the family, Rick. It certainly made for emotional moments, but this family shows their love for one another with every ounce of their being and it was so beautiful to capture.

As a mama of one boy, it was a fun glimpse into the life of a mama of three (grown) boys. These brothers were so funny and willing to fulfill their mom’s nostalgic request to reenact a photo she still carries in her wallet from years ago. She had instructed them in that moment to “strike a pose,” and all these years later they still know their poses!

These sister-in-laws have basically become sisters and are able to keep everyone in line! I loved how hands on they were to be sure the guys knew how to pose and juggled the little ones like pros.

How sweet are these little girls? These sisters are the cutest and miss Ella was basically my best friend at the end of the shoot! I don’t want to brag too much but her reviews of me included “I want to hug her” and “I love her” and the feeling was very mutual.

This family will continue to be on my heart daily and please join me in sending them all of the positive vibes and well wishes for health and peace as they continue to push forward and fight against cancer.
