My family is large and scattered all over the country so I really value time together, even more so after losing my SIL in April. I always try to capture our time together with portraits to share with my family and with my kids when they get older. I updated our family portraits this summer with both my in laws and my family since we had not had family portraits with my daughter in them yet. All that to say, I definitely understand just how important family pictures are!
I photograph a lot of families right after they have a new baby and see them often within that first year. However, often times after a babies first year, it may be a while before the family portrait gets updated. I highly suggest to update your immediate family portrait at least annually. I personally prefer seasonally ;)
When it comes to extended family, I suggest updating at LEAST every other year. If you are traveling together out of town that is the best opportunity to update your extended family portrait.
If you are visiting Lake Norman, NC with your family we would love to capture the trip for you as a forever memory with family portraits. We can come out to your AirBNB or rental to photograph your family. Or if you prefer, I can suggest some of the amazing hidden gems I frequent.
During our extended family photo shoot, I will photograph the entire family of grandparents, parents and children. I’ll also make sure to capture every breakdown possible for you which includes each individual family, grandparents with their kids, grandparents with grandkids, all grandkids together and individually as well.
Make sure to call or fill out our contact form on our website to book us as soon as you book your vacation because we fill up quickly, especially around the holidays!
Don’t forget that we also can travel with you!
We look forward to photographing your family soon!
