There’s something really special about getting multiple generations together in one place. It’s not always easy to gather everyone at the same time, which makes it even more meaningful when it does happen. This extended family session in O’Fallon, MO was full of laughter, connection, and the sweetest moments — the kind you’ll want to remember forever through photos.
A Recent Extended Family Session
When planning an extended family session, I always recommend coordinating outfits with complementary colors rather than matching exactly. Neutral and earthy tones photograph beautifully and keep the focus on connection and emotion. The nicer the outfits, the more luxury the photos will feel!
For larger family sessions, choosing a location with plenty of open space also helps create a relaxed environment for both kids and adults. Sunset sessions are especially beautiful for extended family photos because of the soft, flattering light.
Most importantly, don’t stress about perfectly posed moments. Some of the most meaningful images come from candid interactions and genuine laughter between family members.
