Extended Family Sessions

Extended family sessions are such a fun way to capture the love and laughter shared among families! These gatherings bring together everyone from grandparents to little ones, creating a wonderful mix of personalities and stories that are perfect for photography. Whether it’s a family reunion, a holiday celebration, or just a get-together, these sessions let you showcase the special bonds that make your family unique. From joyful candid shots filled with giggles to lovely posed portraits, these photos beautifully preserve those moments that mean so much. In the end, the images become treasured keepsakes that you can look back on and smile at for years to come!

Minimal props are used for family sessions, usually a backdrop and something to sit on. You are welcome to bring your own props.  Sessions may take place at the studio in or at an agreed upon location* in Lester Prairie or surrounding areas. 

What to bring:

  • Any props, blankets or furniture (location only) you feel might add personality to your session.
  • A fun, playful attitude and lots of smiles!

Investment includes:

  • Fees cover the photographers time and talent, planning and prepping for your session, and professional editing.

    As a photographer who cares about each client and their satisfaction, session fees reflect this custom experience.

    A friendly pre-session consultation either over the phone or in person to discuss your session for a customized experience. In person is the preferred method.

    Session questionnaire to tailor the session to your wants to customize your experience.
