Saskatoon Family Photographer – Von Hagen Family Reunion

Hey Everyone!
This really is amazing – I’m actually posting! This is weird

Well, if you remember from my post with all the sports pictures with Liz I said I was off to a family reunion session – well here it is! The organizer of this fantastic shindig has been a long-time client of mine in a way and I was honored that she asked me to capture such a special moment – a family reunion for her in-law’s 50th wedding anniversary! Congratulations!

Now, large groupings such as family reunions can be scarily daunting at times to photographers like me who focus on unposed, natural, and creative pictures, and everytime one comes up I find myself thinking “what did I get myself into” (even getting all 20 people to look at the camera at the same can be almost impossible!). But after each one I am so glad that I took it on, and this family reunion was a step above the rest! Everyone was relaxed and wanted to have fun and it was just a fantstic environment to be working in! Congratulations again and may you have many more years together with eachother and your amazing family!

July 27, 2009 - 7:29 pm Britta Von Hagen - I love them SO SO SO much. I just want to see ALL of them.. including the ones that Chelsea took! (sorry if I spelled her name wrong) You did such a great job, even with the small kids, and I can't believe how perfect all of the pictures turned out. Thank you so much and I'll be sure to contact you again!

July 27, 2009 - 7:56 pm Justin - Hey Britta! I had such an amazing time with your family, I am so glad you like them as much as I do! Hopefully Peggy and Amanda are working at distributing the gallery access information so you can take a peak at all of them! There are many more awesome shots! Have an amazing week, and congratulations to everyone again!

July 27, 2009 - 8:00 pm Whitney Taylor - Great job on these - big groups are so hard to photograph sometimes but it turned out great! Love the last one too

July 27, 2009 - 8:27 pm Justin - Hey Whitney! Thanks for the comments! Ya, I know, big groups are a little crazy sometimes but these were just fantastic and everyone was game! Hey, and I'm finally blogging again ;) Oh, and ya, that last shot is one of my favorites of all time too! Hmmm, maybe they'll like the shot so much the guy on the left will give me his sunglasses (they were really really awesome sunglasses, haha).

July 27, 2009 - 9:24 pm Nicole - Wow Justin, I love these shots, especially the first- it captures love. The last shot is my favorite of the boys... and I cannot say enough about Rider pride. Great job!

July 27, 2009 - 9:42 pm Justin - Hey Nicole! Thanks! Ya, we definitely got some fun and awesome shots! And those riders, well, I'm a fan for life, but they are slowly killing me ... haha. Hopefully I'll get the shots from our shoot up soon too! Pass a hi to Matt for me!

July 28, 2009 - 1:45 am Sheila - Way to go on tackling the big family session!! You did great!

July 28, 2009 - 1:49 am Justin - Hey Sheila! Great to hear from you and I really appreciate your comments! Too bad you couldn't make it to the BBQ this time, but hopefully next time - I always look forward to all your new work!

August 23, 2009 - 8:36 pm Peggy (Von Hagen) Proctor - As main organizer of this family gathering to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary, I just can't say enough about Justin and his flexibily and creativity in working with us as a large group. He was soooo relaxed and fun to interact with... and took so many beautiful family photos that truly captured the spirit of our lives together... THANK YOU Justin!!!

August 29, 2009 - 2:55 am Justin - Hey Peggy! Thanks for the comment! You definitely helped everything go nice and smoothly, and a photogenic family sure helps, haha! But I had a blast and I'm so glad that you're as thrilled with the pictures as I am! Have an amazing week and I'll talk to you soon! ~ Justin
