“Family faces are magic mirrors. Looking at people who belong to us,

we see the past, present, and future.” 

— Gail Lumet Buckley

Missouri Extended Family Photographer

I love when families document their togetherness and love through an extended family photo shoot. Because, let’s be honest – coordinating a large group of people to commit to a photo session can be a daunting task…but it is so worth it and much easier than you think. Extended family photo shoots are perfect for reunions, milestone birthdays, or groups of families with 7 members and above.  

Extended family photo sessions are similar to family photo shoots, except we focus on large group shots first and follow with mini photo shoots of each family included in the session. I come prepared with a list of all the different groupings we want to achieve, and in between we get playful photos of uncles playing with nieces and nephews, and grandmothers loving on their grand children. It moves quickly and the energy of everyone in one place makes for a fun evening!
