Three weeks together at the beach, and one magical evening to remember it by.
One of the best things about extended family sessions is that they preserve a season that will never happen in quite the same way again. Kids grow. Grandparents change. Dogs get older. Family traditions evolve.
If your whole family is together for vacation, that's the perfect time to photograph everyone. Not just because it's convenient, but because those photos become more valuable every year.
A few tips if you're planning an extended family session:
• Schedule it early in your trip in case weather changes.
• Coordinate colors instead of matching outfits.
• Expect movement, not perfection (especially with little kids).
• Make time for every combination—grandparents with grandkids, siblings, couples, the whole crew, and yes...the dog.
Years from now, these are the photographs everyone will wish they had.
