Extended Family Sessions

Include multiple branches of the family tree for an extended family portrait session. This 90-minute sunset session will feel like several portrait sessions in one, as we aim to capture a variety of family groups and sub-groups into a single, timeless collection of images that the whole family will treasure.

what's included:

advance scheduling

The stars really have to align to get everyone together these days, don't they? Extended family sessions are booked by request only, preferably at least six weeks in advance. Please also propose an alternate date that will work for your family in case of inclement weather or illness.

location selection

Not every location can accommodate a large group, so I will work with your family to select the perfect set for your session. We will make every effort to choose a location that is convenient, well-lit, spacious and fits your desired aesthetic. Your booking questionnaire will also ask about accessibility/mobility and other needs that should be considered when selecting a location.

AN ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE

I will come prepared to direct your family, ensure that all groups and sub-groups are attempted, and that any poses that are considered traditions in your family are prioritized.

HIGH-RESOLUTION IMAGE FILES

Within two to three weeks of your session you will receive a link via the email provided to access your private, password-protected digital gallery. Each high resolution image is hand-retouched and provided in both color and black and white. All members involved in your session will have rights to download, print, post & share the images.

ACCESS TO THE HSC PRINT SHOP

Create albums, holiday cards, prints, canvases and other products right from your gallery in the HSC print shop. Orders are produced and shipped quickly straight to your home. Note: Print shop products are not included in your session fee, and are optional.

The HSC Experience

The full HSC portrait experience provides ample time and space for your family members to get comfortable with the camera, which is when the magic happens! Your full gallery will seem to tell a story, that you'll look back on and retell with loved ones year after year.

simple booking

Once you choose the date and time that works best for your family, fill out a short questionnaire and sign your contract, you're booked! I'll send you an invoice for your session fee, which is due on the date of your session.

a single session fee

No upselling or high pressure tactics at HSC. Your session fee covers your time on set, photographer's time and talent, and your full, high-resolution, hand-retouched gallery of image files. Your fee is due on the date of your session, or you can take care of it ahead of time.

on set experience

Portraits can be stressful- and combining multiple families into one shoot can really amplify that stress! I will guide your entire family the whole way through your session so that all you will have to do is enjoy your mini-reunion.

HIGH-RESOLUTION IMAGE FILES

Within two to three weeks of your session you will receive a link via the email provided to access your private, password-protected digital gallery. Each high resolution image is hand-retouched and provided in both color and black and white. All members of the family will have rights to download, print, post & share your images.
