Extended family sessions are always a blast to photograph! During these sessions we’re able to capture all of the quirks and silly little moments between you and your loved ones. I recently photographed the Schneider family for the third time since 2020, and I cannot wait to show you all of the great shots we were able to capture!

When Cathy reached out, I was beyond thrilled and honored that she wanted me to photograph her extended family once again. I cannot believe it’s been four years since I first met this entire family, and looking back, all of the kiddos have grown up SO much! Extended family sessions are so special to photograph.

For this session, we stuck to our usual location at one of the family members home, and we were able to capture a whole list of shots within their backyard full of lucious greenery! The greenery in the background beautifully complimented this family’s blue coordinated outfits with one another (side note - they did great at their outfits!

Each and every year, we have been able to capture a few variations of group shots with EVERYONE, photos of the grandparents with grandkids, all of the cousins, and each individual family. We have also been able to capture individuals of each kiddo, the siblings from each family, all the moms and dads, grandma and grandpa with their children, as well as a photo of all the girls, and a photo of all the guys! When I tell you we were able to achieve a lot, I mean it! This gallery was full of 153 images - all which beautifully show off the Schneider family!

It wouldn’t be an extended family session if we didn’t capture some fun shots, right? We of course had to capture some silly faces and some running shots. I love including these photos in my galleries, they’re always the fun ones!
