Extended Family Portrait Sessions

Coordinating an extended family portrait session can be a daunting task!  Here are some tips to create the perfect family photo session with brothers, sisters, cousins, and grandparents.

  1. Schedule: this is the hardest part.  If you can get past the scheduling, you’re in great shape!  Select a few dates for the family and give everyone plenty of advance notice before the photo session.
  2. Location: discuss location with your photographer.  Indoor studio locations are great because you don’t have to worry about the weather.  However, most people prefer the natural look of an outdoor family session.  It’s up to you.
  3. Wardrobe: plan for easily coordinating colors for the family’s wardrobe.  Jeans and khaki’s can be worn and don’t count as colors.  Choose two or three colors that coordinate and look good in a natural setting if you’ll be outdoors.  Greens, browns, and blues work well in nature.

If you start with these three things, you’re off to a fantastic path to fantastic extended family portrait sessions.

The Wood Family

The Wood family met me at the park for their family portrait session.  We had grandparents, brothers, sisters, and all the kids.  They even brought beer for a little happy hour!  The men loved that!  Our list of poses included the entire family, grandparents and grandchildren, each individual family, and then some of the men and some of the women.  I love one of the final frames with grandmother and all of her grand-babies!  It is precious.  The day was beautiful and the portraits were too.  I’m so glad that the family will have these memories forever!

My photography style is leaving my client with a photo they love to show off 🤍

Every session is designed to create images that feel elevated and effortless, capturing who you are now and where your brand is going next.

Photos that make a statement without trying too hard — and still feel relevant years from now.

If your brand calls for imagery that feels confident, cohesive, and unmistakably you, you’re in the right place.

✨ Ready to create something elevated?

Shoot me a DM and we`ll get starting planning!

This is why you should NOT ask ChatGPT to turn your Facebook photo into a professional headshot 👇🏻

AI can do a lot of things… but representing the real you isn’t one of them.

In the AI version of my headshot:
❌ My hair was changed
❌ My makeup disappeared
❌ My face shape was different
❌ The lighting + posing weren’t tailored to me at all

On screen, it looked “close enough”…
But in person? It looked nothing like me.

And that’s the problem.

Some poses might feel a little silly in the moment and that’s okay. 📸👇🏼

One of the biggest secrets to great photos is being willing to experiment.

What feels “unnatural” in real life often looks confident, effortless, and polished on camera. That’s why posing is such a big part of what I do during every session.

I’ll guide you through adjustments, test different angles, and fine-tune details so we find what truly works for you.

You don’t need to overthink it or worry about how you look — trusting the process is where the magic happens.

You show up. I’ll handle the posing.

I hear this all the time — and the good news is, you don’t need to👇🏻

Guiding you through posing, angles, and expressions is literally my job.

During every session, I give clear, simple direction so you never feel awkward or unsure of what to do next.

My goal is to help you feel comfortable, relaxed, and confident — because that’s when you look your best.

You’re never expected to “perform” or figure it out on your own. I’ll position you in ways that highlight your best features and feel natural to you.

All you need to do is show up. I’ll take care of the rest.
