As I mentioned before I love ‘shooting’ large family gatherings.  I call them ‘extended family sessions’.  You know, when the kids have moved out of the house and have children of their own?

These sessions are my passion!  I have done many large groups..over Christmas break (YES, in the WINTER) I met with two large families!

I love seeing how the families interact with one another, how old and young come together for pictures, and I find that when families look back on these times they are so happy they put the effort and investment into the pictures.

Its not everyday that all 10, 20 or 30 (or whatever your size is) family members are home at the same time!

Are you considering an ‘extended’ family session but wonder what would be included in the session fee?

Typically I do 2-3 different poses of the entire family, each family on their own, mom & dad together, mom & dad and grandkids, grandkids alone, mom & dad and their ‘original’ children.

These sessions need to be booked in advance to ensure dates for all family members!!!  Keep this in mind as I am already booking sessions on my calendar and will be limiting the number of sessions I take on each month in 2012!

Have a look at a recent family I met with!  I LOVE all the shots from our time together!
ENJOY!
