extended family photos investment
"My whole family was so happy with how our family pictures came out! Karly is amazing with kids of all ages and kept us laughing! Karly's tips and tricks on how to get our outfits together was so helpful and the place she chose for our photo shoot was perfect! Karly is professional, friendly and works promptly!"
"our whole family loved it"
"Karly was absolutely the best! She took her time with our family of eight, including three small children. She was patient, helpful with poses, and never rushed the session. She was so wonderful — truly the best! She even helped us choose the perfect spot for the day, making the entire experience very special."
"She's Simply the best!"
"Karly was so incredible to work with. From helping choose a location for our photos, to providing guidance for what we should wear, she did amazing. She did a wonderful job capturing our extended family and played along wonderfully with all of our funny requests. As our 4 year old got tired of the pictures, she did such a good job entertaining him while still being able to capture beautiful moments. I would 100% recommend her for any pictures, but especially family ones!"
"Karly did a Wonderful job capturing our extended family"
what is an extended family session?
An extended family session includes multiple households—grandparents, adult siblings, cousins, and all the people who make family gatherings loud, lovely, and meaningful. We’ll capture the full group and smaller family combinations.
how many people can be included?
Extended family sessions are designed for larger groups, typically 10+ people. If your crew is especially big (or especially energetic), we’ll talk through the details ahead of time to make sure everything flows smoothly.
how long is an extended family session?
Most sessions last about 60 minutes. This gives us enough time for full group photos, individual family groupings, and a few relaxed moments in between—without testing anyone’s patience (especially the toddlers).
Do you help with posing and organizing the group?
Yes—absolutely. I guide the session with a calm, efficient approach so everyone knows where to stand, what to do and looks their best.
What if there are young kids or elderly family members?
Extended family sessions are planned with real people in mind. We’ll move at a comfortable pace, prioritize key groupings early, and make sure breaks and seating options are available when needed.
What should we wear for an extended family session?
I provide styling guidance ahead of time so everyone coordinates without looking matchy-matchy. Think cohesive color palettes, comfortable fabrics, and outfits that feel like you, just slightly elevated.
How far in advance should we book?
Extended family sessions are popular and require extra coordination, so booking several months in advance is recommended—especially for fall dates or holiday gatherings.
Can we get photos of just our immediate family too?
Yes! We’ll plan time for each individual family unit, plus grandparents with grandkids, siblings together, and any special groupings you’d like. A little planning goes a long way here.
Where do extended family sessions take place?
Sessions can take place outdoors at a scenic location or at a meaningful family property, depending on your vision and group needs. I’ll help you choose a location that works well for larger groups and easy movement.
