Extended Family Sessions
Extended family sessions are designed to bring everyone together in a way that feels organized, easy, and genuinely enjoyable.
I’ll guide the entire process so we move smoothly through groupings, keep things on track, and make sure everyone feels comfortable in front of the camera.
Even large families tend to settle into it quickly—and we end up with a full, meaningful gallery without it ever feeling stressful or chaotic.
What the Session Feels Like
We’ll start with smaller immediate family groupings so everyone can ease in and feel comfortable.
From there, I’ll guide us through full group portraits and then into all the meaningful combinations—grandparents with grandkids, individual families, couples, and smaller groupings.
I keep things moving in a clear, simple flow so we use our time well, stay organized, and make sure nothing important gets missed.
"We love you! On the drive back after photos my husband couldn’t stop talking about how kind you are and how much it meant the way you worked with my little one. We are very grateful. 🤍" - Hayley
“My husband’s family doesn’t typically love photos—but they always love their sessions with you❣️” - Cid
Photos you’ll actually use and love
Your gallery will feel complete, connected, and easy to share.
You’ll receive a curated collection that includes full family portraits along with a wide variety of smaller groupings and combinations that reflect your family as it really is.
I also focus on selecting the strongest expressions so everything feels polished, natural, and genuinely flattering.
Everything is delivered in an online gallery ready to download, print, and enjoy.
"You blessed us by creating lasting, tangible evidence of our experiences together. I appreciate you so much!!" - Cindy
Before Your Session
Once you book, you’ll receive my Extended Family Session Guide with tips on what to wear, location options, and simple prep support.
It’s everything you need to feel ready without overthinking it.
And I’m always here if you want to run outfit ideas or questions by me—I’m happy to help.
After Your Session
After your session, I carefully select and edit your final gallery so you receive only the best images.
You’ll receive a full set of high-resolution photos in an easy-to-use online gallery to download, share, and print.
Light retouching is included on your favorite images so everything feels polished while still looking like you.
Planning your session
If you’re visiting, I recommend scheduling early in your trip—before everyone gets tired or over-scheduled.
Sunset light is ideal, and I’ll help you choose the best location based on your group size, mobility, and overall feel.
Beaches give us space and beautiful light, while parks and trails offer shade and flexibility.
"Amazing choice of photographer, our kids were upset and she captured great pictures despite that!" When I asked my husband what his favorite part of our San Diego trip was he said, "Family pictures because we were all together." We had so much fun looking at them this morning. They made us smile, laugh, and feel joy. I was amazed at how well you captured the personalities of our family. We will treasure these memories. Thank you!" - Ashley
