Wife, mom, artist, and full-time chaos wrangler with a camera in one hand and snacks in the other. I live for the real stuff—belly laughs, big feelings, chipped nail polish, and quiet light that sneaks through the window just right.
This work is how I see the world…
and how I love it back.
Life moves so fast, and families grow and change in the blink of an eye, right? You are feeling this now, I’m sure. An extended family photo session is the perfect way to freeze time and celebrate the love across generations—from grandparents to grandkids, siblings, aunts, uncles, and even family pets!
These sessions are more than just pictures; they’re LEGACY moments—memories that will be passed down for generations. Whether it’s a milestone birthday, an anniversary, or a rare gathering of loved ones, a well-planned multi-generational photo session ensures you’ll have timeless images to cherish forever.
With busy schedules and family members living in different places, it’s rare to have everyone in one place. A professional extended family photography session ensures you capture the moment before life moves on.
There’s something incredibly special about capturing grandparents with their grandchildren, siblings reunited, and multiple generations in one frame. These images become treasured keepsakes for years to come.
Looking for a meaningful gift for Grandma and Grandpa? A family session is a heartfelt way to honor them with images they’ll proudly display in their home.
An extended family session isn’t just about one big group shot. We capture smaller family units, couples, sibling pairs, and fun candids—giving you a wide range of images to enjoy.
Pick a spot that’s beautiful, meaningful, and comfortable for all ages—whether it’s a local park, a beach, or your family’s backyard. Think about ease of access for older family members and little ones.
The key to great extended family photos is a coordinated but not overly matching wardrobe. Stick to a neutral or complementary color palette (earthy tones, soft pastels, or jewel tones) to create a timeless look. Avoid loud patterns or logos that can be distracting.
Bring snacks, water, and small activities for young children.
Schedule the session at a time that works best for everyone (avoiding nap times or meal times).
If elderly family members are included, ensure seating options are available.
The best photos often happen in between poses—a grandmother laughing with her grandkids, siblings exchanging a smile, or little cousins playing together. Let the moments unfold naturally!
A typical extended family photography session lasts 60-90 minutes, allowing plenty of time for different groupings, poses, and candid shots. Here’s a rough breakdown of what we capture:
✅ Full group portrait (everyone together)
✅ Grandparents with grandkids
✅ Individual families within the extended family
✅ Sibling group shots
✅ Candid moments & fun interactions
✅ Special requests (anniversary couples, parent-child portraits, etc.)
If your family is planning a special gathering this year, don’t miss the chance to capture these once-in-a-lifetime memories. Extended family sessions are one of the most meaningful investments you can make.
