Extended & blended family sessions are becoming more and more popular! This gorgeous family wanted to include everyone in their young son’s life including parents and grandparents who are no longer together and their new partners. It was such a beautiful afternoon at the beach just north of Oceanside Pier watching how well this family gets along and supports their littlest member with their love.

As a photographer one of the main considerations for extended & blended family sessions is to make sure to give quality time for each smaller group of people within the larger group to have their own photos. For this reason these larger family sessions typically run 75-90 minures, but none of that time is wasted!
