Extended Family Photo Shoots – Time to Gather and Celebrate

Time to gather, celebrate and take some photographs, so the memories will never be forgotten.

When I was starting my official photography journey, I did not really think about extended family photo sessions. As a starting family photographer, I focused on natural newborn photography and family photography with young children, but inquiries for extended family photo shoots started coming especially after 2020. Only after my first extended family photo shoot I realised how special and important the photographs from such gatherings are. Not only has the family a reason to get together, but this is also a great opportunity to document it all and take natural family portraits of all family members and not only that! I love taking photos of the little things that emerge on the scene, like a little bouquet of daisies given to the youngest family member.

What is my approach

My approach to extended family photo shoots is very intuitive and relaxed but as there are more family members, I mostly play the role of a gentle director on the scene. Depending on the weather, location and also the ages of the little family members, I pick the best spots and if necessary, rearrange the scene (especially if we meet in your back garden). You can rely on my skills and experience and just enjoy the time with your loved ones.
