Family is the heart of every cherished moment, and capturing these moments is what Sound Roots Photography does best. An extended family session is more than just a photoshoot; it's a celebration of generations, connections, and the unique bonds that tie us together. Here’s what you can expect when you book an extended family session with Sound Roots Photography.

Pre-Session Questionnaire

Before your session, Sound Roots Photography sends a pre-session questionnaire that acts just like a pre-session consultation. This is a fantastic opportunity to discuss your vision, preferred locations, and any special requests or ideas you have as well as any unique needs for family members. Whether you want formal portraits or a more relaxed, candid feel, this conversation helps us tailor the session to your family's unique style and dynamics.

Location, Location, Location


The location of your extended family session plays a crucial role in setting the tone and style of your photos. In many sessions, I aim for stunning use of natural light and beautiful outdoor settings to match your families vibe. From picturesque parks to your own backyard, I’ll help you choose a spot that resonates with your family’s personality and preferences.

A Relaxed Atmosphere

I understand that a big family gathering can sometimes feel chaotic, but I know how to keep things relaxed and enjoyable. I take the time to ensure everyone feels comfortable and confident in front of the camera, allowing genuine smiles and interactions to shine through. I am used to traveling with my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins as well as used to large extended family portraits at weddings and B Mitzvah's and use my knowledge from years as a client to streamline your experience and make it fun and easy going too.

Documenting the Essence of Your Family

During your session, expect a mix of posed and candid shots. I'll definitely preserve those timeless portraits that make perfect gifts for grandparents, as well as spontaneous moments that showcase the love and laughter shared among family members. My goal is to reflect the essence of your family, highlighting the unique relationships and connections that make your family special.

A Lasting Legacy

An extended family session is more than just a photoshoot; it’s a chance to create a lasting legacy. It’s an opportunity to preserve the joy, love, and togetherness that define your family. With Sound Roots Photography, you’ll have a collection of images that tell your family’s story, preserving these precious moments for generations.


I believe in the power of family and the importance of documenting these moments in time. I look forward to working with you to create beautiful memories that will be cherished forever.
