Extended Family Session

$2650 ALL-INCLUSIVE LIFESTYLE PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE


Extended family sessions are photographed outdoors in beautiful natural light and designed to feel relaxed, meaningful, and well paced. These sessions are ideal for multigenerational gatherings, milestone celebrations, or simply documenting your family together while everyone is in one place.


We’ll begin with full group portraits, then move through smaller groupings including individual households, grandparents with grandchildren, siblings, cousins, and couples. I guide gently while allowing space for natural interaction and connection. The result is a cohesive collection of images that reflects both the energy of the whole group and the relationships within it.


What’s included


• Up to 1.5 hours of photography for groups of up to 30 family members

• A minimum of 90 hand edited images in both color and black & white

• A private online gallery for viewing, downloading, and sharing

• Up to five complimentary luxury photo albums, one for each participating household, designed by me and delivered directly to your homes


Additional albums may be purchased if more households would like their own copy.


OPTIONAL ADD ONS


CINEMATIC FAMILY FILM $700

A short, thoughtfully edited film that captures movement, emotion, and the feeling of being together


EXPEDITED GALLERY DELIVERY $250

Your full gallery delivered within one week, plus a small set of sneak peeks within 48 hours

Cinematic Family Films

When you book a session with me, you have the option to add on a 2-3 minute cinematic film with music. It's a way to encapsulate a small yet meaningful slice of time, documented in a way that will endure for generations to come.
