What to Expect at an Extended Family Session in Seattle

Booking an extended family photo session is a wonderful way to capture the special bond between multiple generations. If you're planning a session with your Seattle family photographer, here’s exactly what you can expect, from the initial planning to your heirloom artwork delivery.

Pre-Session Consultation

Before the big day, we’ll connect to discuss the details. This includes:

- Location: Whether you choose an outdoor, in-home, or studio location, we’ll choose a place that suits your family’s style. I do have a list of some of my favorite locations I will share with you!

- Outfit Guidance: I'll provide tips for coordinating your family’s outfits without looking overly matched. A cohesive color palette works wonders!

The Day of the Session

1. Organized Fun

Extended family sessions are a blend of structure and spontaneity. I’ll guide the group through posed shots but also leave space for playful, candid moments—like cousins laughing or grandparents cuddling the youngest members.

2. Capturing Every Combination

I make sure to get a variety of photos including group shots, grandparents, grandparents with their children, individual families, and grandparents with their grandchildren.

3. Allowing for Flexibility

Kids running around? Someone feeling shy? No problem! I’m skilled at adapting to different personalities and keeping the session light and enjoyable for everyone.

Post-Session

After the session, I’ll carefully curate and edit your photos. We'll choose a date for your virtual viewing and ordering appointment. Anyone in your family who wishes to participate is welcome to join us for this exciting time to see your photos for the first time and decide how you will display them in your homes. Whether it be large framed wall art or keepsake heirloom albums, I'm here to help guide your family the whole way!
