Denver Family Photographer


Extended Family Portrait Sessions Are the Best Way to Highlight All Generations

Denver, CO


There’s something truly special about photographing extended families. Watching grandparents snuggle grandbabies, siblings laughing together and crushing some really funny awkward family photos—it’s the kind of magic you just can’t replicate. These sessions are about more than just portraits; they’re about documenting the love, connection, and stories that span generations.  This session happened over Thanksgiving break while family members from out of town were visiting - which is a major win!

As a Denver extended family photographer, I love capturing these once-in-a-lifetime moments. This sweet family embraced every twist and turn that came their way. When the weather suddenly shifted to very, very cold temperatures, they rolled with it and pivoted to a mostly indoor session without missing a beat. It’s always such a gift when families stay open and flexible—especially when little ones are involved!

We made the best of our time in a studio for warm, traditional portraits.  And then they bravely stepped out into the chilly air so we could grab a few outdoor shots. Their smiles and snuggles made the cold totally worth it.

And I love a trio of siblings that can't leave a photo session without a few 1990s inspired, awkward family photos.
