Extended Family Photo Sessions Shoot List


A larger family can be a struggle to get all the photos that you wish to have, which is why I've prepared this photo shoot list to help guide us on our journey to make sure we get every photo you could want.

Notice some of the points are in BOLD; these photos are recommended for larger groups that have purchased a smaller session with appropriate ample time.

Those in Italic would be appropiate ad ons a in addition to the bolded text for those who have purchased a larger session with more appropriate ample time.

Please take a moment to review the photo shoot list, and please contact your photographer to discuss your session if you wish to remove or add from this list.
