What to Expect From an Extended Family Photo Session


Extended family sessions are a little different from a typical family session because we get to capture so many different groupings! We’ll make sure to get a photo of everyone together, individual family groupings, the grandkids with their grandparents, and plenty of other combinations along the way.

I’ll guide everyone through posing and group arrangements so you don’t have to worry about figuring it all out yourself. My goal is to make the session organized, enjoyable, and as stress-free as possible, even with a large group!


And of course, we’ll leave room for the genuine smiles, little interactions, and fun moments that make your family unique.


Choosing a Location for Your Extended Family Photos

There are so many beautiful locations around St. Louis and St. Charles County for extended family photos! Whether you love the look of a park with open fields and beautiful greenery or prefer a location that feels more personal to your family, we can find a spot that fits your vision.

When planning your session, I’m happy to help you choose a location that works well for your group size, the look you love, and any little ones or grandparents who may need an easily accessible spot.


Extended Family Sessions I've Loved Photographing

One of my favorite parts of being a photographer is getting to meet so many different families and help them preserve memories together. Every family has its own personality, and no two sessions are exactly alike!


Here are a few extended family sessions I’ve had the pleasure of photographing around the St. Louis area. I hope these give you inspiration for your own family photos!
