Extended Family Photographer – Watkinsville, GA

One of my many hats is extended family photographer. I love being able to photograph families with multiple generations. I know these are images I would want myself and it is a privilege to produce portraits like this for others.

The daughter of these sweet grandparents contacted me to commission me as their extended family photographer to celebrate her parents 50th wedding anniversary. One of her brother’s family was traveling into town, so it was the perfect opportunity since everyone would be together. Such a rare thing when people live a distance apart.

I was told that they wanted a natural field, but had to be handicap accessible for one of her brothers. I gave a few options and they picked this stunning location. The ground was not soft and these images were taken just a few yards from where we parked the cars. There was a curb, so my husband made a portable ramp that worked out perfectly. Love all the delicate white wild flowers in the pale green grass. The way the sun came through the trees was stunning too!

These cousins really get along well and I think it shows here. I bet they really enjoy being together and play hard when they do. They are very lucky to have each other.

When photographing extended families, I always like to break things down into immediate family groupings too. I had brought the stools to this session so that not just one person was sitting and to give us some variety. Turned out to be a big hit with these boys. They preferred to sit on the stools vs standing in the grass. I think it had to do with their dislike of the feeling of the tall grass against their skin. Totally get it!

I was able to get the images that they requested and really love how they turned out.

I think they did such a great job picking their wardrobe for their portraits. The color palette works so well, especially for this location. As an extended family photographer, I always give advice on styling. You want everyone to look great as a big group, in each individual immediate family groupings as well as other break downs of family members. I suggest picking a color palette of 3-5 colors that all coordinate together. This allows people to show off their individual personalities and style without being too matchy matchy. Long gone are the portraits where everyone wears white or the exact same thing. It is great to use texture, accessories and  varying fabrics.

This is a popular time to book extended family portrait sessions. A lot of families get together for end of school celebrations and even graduations in the coming months. Over the Summer, a lot of families are able to visit and vacation together as well. Why not take advantage of everyone being together with a portrait session? I help you every step of the way. From location scouting, wardrobe advice, communication to all families, directing during the session, and even helping navigate sticky family dynamics – I’m your gal!

Outdoor Family Photography On Golden Eagle Horse Farm

Outdoor family photography alway has my heart. I traveled to Golden Eagle on a ferry for this family’s portrait session on their horse farm. Love it when four legged family members are included in photo sessions. They are such a big part of the family dynamic and are so loved. Fitting to have portraits taken with them.

I have been photographing this family since their youngest was a tiny little baby. Cannot believe they are in high school and middle school now. Surreal. So honored to document big milestones in their lives over the years.

The girls’ horses have such neat and distinct personalities. They sure loved their snacks and were so gentle and loving. They had a nice grooming right before their outdoor family photography session. The girls are so good with their beloved horses. Can you even imagine being able to ride in this gorgeous setting?

Spring Sibling Photoshoot Among Cherry Trees

The cherry trees are in full bloom here in Athens, GA!!! Such an honor to do this family’s Spring sibling photoshoot surrounded by these beautiful super pale pink, almost white, blossoms.

Spring sibling photoshoot among cherry trees in Athens, GA.

Baby sister is five months old and we were doing her milestone session along with her brother and sisters. They were all in their Easter best, which was so fitting for not only the time of year, but also for their surroundings. Nothing like the pastel color palette found in nature with the soft green and wheat colored grass and the delicate cherry blossom petals that have the slightest pink hue. These siblings’ wardrobe in color palette of pastel pink, blue and white coordinate perfectly. The girls’ dresses were handmade by a sweet relative. The bunny buttons on the front of their dresses were even hand painted. Such loving care went into making those dresses. Wonderful example of what to wear for a Spring sibling photoshoot.
