  • HOW TO RUN AN EXTENDED FAMILY SESSION // Family photography can be stressful. Extended families can sometimes be even more stressful! We have shot quite a few extended family sessions and have a planned out workflow we try to follow during these sessions. We are going to talk about the length of time for these family sessions, the posing workflow for extended family portraits, and so much more. Our goal is that you go into your next family portrait session ready to rock it!

    OH MY GOODNESS!!!! This video could not have come at the more perfect time! I have like half a dozen family photo shoots this summer and my first one is tonight! I have done extended family photos in the past, but it has been several years! This is going to be so helpful for tonight!!!! Thank you so much for this video and all the other videos y'all have done. They are all so helpful!! I always learn so much from y'all!! Thanks again!

    BLESS YOUR HEARTS! Yesterday at a networking event, I was asked if I could do an extended family session of 20 people on a beach, and then individual family portraits!😳 Of course, I said yes! I've photographed smaller groups before so I knew with a little more information I could work with a group this large! Your video AND FREE GUIDE are life savers!! Thank you SOOO MUCH! I have much more confidence in booking this session because I now have a plan to execute it! Blessings!!

    Awesome, cool to see that we have the same approach to the extended family sessions. The room for cropping is so important!
    These are also the only sessions that I tend to use a tripod - it forces me to pay attention to my framing/cropping room, and makes for easier head swaps in the larger group if needed.

    Perfect timing! I have my first extended family session in two weeks. This is great advice!

    I have trouble managing expectation with the large group of children. I feel like even if I warm them they expect all smiles, all looking.

    I have so many extended family shoots coming up. This was great! Would love to hear about great benches or stools that would be a good asset to my gear for these type of situations. Also, do you ever use flash? Thanks again!!

    I'm a drone photographer but I just started my business so I'm thinking of doing a few family portraits to keep the $ flowing in for now. Still a bit intimidating but this helped!

    Thanks ladies! I always question how far to move around to different parts of the park with generational photos.

    I love this video. I am grandma ... what do you do if weather is bad and need to pose indoors? I have smaller room. Grandparents , 6 adults and 6 children from 17 years to 2!

  • @shaunanorman4804

    Such a good video. I am the grandmother how can I look better, thinner and not so stiff in a photo. I never like myself in a photo

    What are your prices for this type of session

  • @sharonhunter4029
    @sharonhunter4029 Před rokem +1

    Whats your typical aperture when shooting the whole group? My biggest fear is always getting everyone in focus

    • @esquared.photography
      @esquared.photography  Před rokem +2

      Great question! We are typically at an f4 or f5 with a group this size. :)
