The H Family on Indian Rocks Beach
I love photographing extended families! There’s always so much love at these sessions. Here are some favorites from a recent family photo shoot on the beach. See you in two years H Family! <3
The R Family on St Pete Beach
When the entire family is together for the first time in ages, you book a photo shoot! Half of this group came all the way from L.A, and then the poor baby got super sick. She clearly isn’t feeling well here, but she was a little trooper about it. She went straight back to the room for some rest after this. Her older cousins managed to have a ball though <3
An Extended Family Session in Tampa, FL
Fun Fact: I photograph a LOT of extended families! Usually over summer break or during the holidays, when everyone tends to be together at one time. I love these sessions so much! Everyone is typically in a great mood and personalities are more forthcoming because clients feel comfortable surrounded by the people who know them best. I always get a variety of shots and we ALWAYS have a good time. We photograph everyone together of course, but then we break it down and focus on smaller groupings and intimate portraits. This way, everyone walks away with some special memories.
Sometimes these sessions are gifts for loved ones, and sometimes it’s everyone going in together just because they want updated family photos Either way, each adult can download the high resolution digital files from the session and print them for their walls at home. They make for an AMAZING collage wall with all the different groups of people! There’s not a MiMi on earth who doesn’t want a beautiful collage wall with photographs of her family…
This beautiful family gets together every two years for Thanksgiving, and they always commemorate it with a family session. We shoot right in the backyard so it’s super easy. This year I got to see all of the framed photos from years past, and it was incredibly special for me. Seeing my work in a client’s living room just reiterates that my job is important. There’s great value in a photograph; sentimental value. I sure do love what I do :)
