One of the best times to hire a photographer? When you have the family together! In these busy, crazy times we’re living in, the opportunities to get everyone together seem to be fewer and fewer. When everyone does safely gather, there is so much joy exchanged, it is the perfect time to document the day!

I love doing an extended family session - Siblings, Cousins, Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents… whatever the mix, I’m here to help you corral the group into the perfect picture vignettes.

Outfits for Extended Family Session

One of the questions I get often when doing an extended family session is how to coordinate outfits. First and foremost, it’s helpful to have each “smaller” family unit coordinate, then consider the larger group. Color blocking is a great option. Avoiding “loud” patterns is also very helpful. And you want to wear clothing you’ll be comfortable in too! As much as I love everyone dressed up, if it isn’t your usual attire, it might feel forced, which will show in photos. Something else to keep in mind? When booking family sessions, I provide a wardrobe consultation, that includes inspiration for everyone to consider.

These girls are so sweet and adore each other!

Gallery Wall from Extended Family Session

Below is a mockup of what family prints from this extended family session might look like hanging in your home. This is one of my favorite ways to help families see the impact of printing your sessions. Sometimes we just need a little visualization!
