An extended family portrait session is a wonderful way to document special moments with loved ones you might not see very often. Extended Family portrait sessions include family members outside of your immediate family. This session can include cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents and/or family friends.
Getting everyone together isn’t easy, and even larger to plan with a larger group. With a wide variety of family members to photograph, I will have many potential combinations. I will capture individual families within the larger group, and any other combinations that you would like; (such as all the cousins together with grandpa and grandma!). There are so many tender moments that happen during an extended family session, Grandparents get a chance to connect with their kids and their kid’s kids. All of the little grandkids have a chance to play together. Parents and siblings start to relax as they watch people they love the most have so much fun together. The connection matters and leads to genuinely joyful photos and stories that you’ll be proud to look back on years from now. These moments will become your legacy.
Above all else, I want you to enjoy yourselves during your extended family portrait session. I’ll do my part to make sure you look amazing, and will give you direction as needed. For the most part, you can relax and do what feels natural. Just have fun! Trust me: the “we’re actually having fun” smiles are always the best ones.
