Extended Family Portrait Sessions

Beautifully Organised. Calm. Picture Perfect.

My Extended Family Photography Gold Coast sessions are designed to suit families of all sizes, with studio, Sun & Sea, and composite options available. I capture Family Reunion Photography Gold Coast, and multi-generation groups in a calm, organised way so everyone looks their best.

Whether you’re bringing together grandparents, adult children, cousins, or multiple family groups, I’ll guide the session so it runs smoothly and feels relaxed from start to finish.

With larger groups, I begin with a few whole-family portraits, then move through smaller combinations such as:

  • individual family groups
  • generations
  • siblings
  • cousins
  • grandchildren and grandparents

We’ll confirm the exact groupings closer to your session date so everything feels relaxed on the day.


Session Options for Extended Families

Sun & Sea Family Session

(Up to 14 people)

Sun & Sea Sessions begin in my Varsity Lakes studio and, weather permitting, include a relaxed beach component at golden hour.

If beach conditions aren’t suitable, the session is completed fully in the studio. This means your booking always goes ahead without rescheduling.

This option is ideal if you’d love a mix of polished studio portraits and relaxed outdoor images.


Studio-Only Extended Family Session

(Up to 14 people)

Studio-only sessions are a popular choice for extended families who want:

  • complete weather certainty
  • flexible session timing
  • controlled, flattering lighting

These sessions are calm, efficient, and perfect for families who prefer everything to happen in one location.


Large Group Composite Sessions

(14+ people)

For larger extended families, I offer composite studio sessions.

Each family group is photographed individually in the studio, with each family booking their own time slot on the day. The images are then professionally blended into one seamless, panoramic-style family portrait.

This approach:

  • avoids long wait times
  • keeps children fresh and happy
  • ensures consistent lighting
  • creates a polished final image where everyone looks picture perfect

Composite sessions are ideal for large reunions where photographing everyone together at once would be impractical.


My Photography Style

I capture a blend of gently posed portraits and guided candid moments, using simple techniques to create natural expressions and genuine connection.

I’ll guide everyone throughout the session and photograph you in the most flattering angles so everyone looks their best.
My work is 100% guaranteed.


Viewing Your Images

You’ll receive a private, password-protected online gallery within 7 days of your session.

You can view your images at home and select the image collection that suits you best. Images are chosen after viewing.
