This summer might have been our most packed extended family season ever. We did so many extended family sessions across the entire team and I am here for it. I love extended family sessions and think they are so important. They are for sure one of the hardest to coordinate because it incorporates so any different people, but being able to get everyone together is so worth it. I’ve had friends who said their last extended family picture was taken when they were a kid and they wished they had a more updated one before their grandparents passed. Just being able to see a families entire prosperity in one picture is so heart warming. So I hope my own boys knows that extended family pictures will be nonnegotiable when they have families of their own. But honestly I do recommend taking extended family pictures every couple of years if possible. Ever year might be a lot for some families, but I think that every 2-4 years is totally manageable and such a good highlight for any family.
