What Exactly is an Extended Family Session?

The majority of my photo sessions are immediate family members only. Basically…parents and their kids! Once we start adding in grandparents, aunts/uncles, or other family members who live in a different household, I define that as an extended family session.

Extended family photo sessions tend to be larger, last longer, and include a longer must-have shot list. They tend to require more prep-work, more shooting time, and more editing. For that reason, they cost more! When you inquire about an extended family photo session, I’ll ask you who will be in attendance before giving you a session price.

Prior to your extended family photo session, I’ll send a questionnaire for you to fill out so I can learn everyone’s name, relation to each other, and age (kids only). I’ll also ask you for a list of people groupings/combinations you’d like me to photograph. This all helps me to prepare! Then I can arrive to your session with a plan. You can relax, and I’ll run the show!
