Narragansett Extended Family Session | RI Family Photographer
As a RI family photographer, I love photographing family photo sessions. What is even more fun are extended family photo sessions! Getting to meet multiple generations from a family all at once is so rewarding, and the reason that people have extended family sessions is often due to a very happy occasion (for example a milestone birthday, anniversary, or a fun vacation).
This summer I had a few extended family sessions based around 50th wedding anniversaries. My session with the family featured here was one of them. It’s such an amazing milestone to reach fifty years married. I always ask the couples what their secret is. I’ve heard answers that range from practical to wise to hilarious. The matriarch and patriarch of this family put it simply when asked what their secret of staying married for fity years is: “Because we love each other!” How can you argue with that?!
We had our session in the backyard of mom and dad’s family home in Narragansett on an August evening. Salt Pond provided a beautiful backdrop. We also had some dramatic clouds for a backdrop as some late summer thunderstorms were quickly rolling in! They made for some really cool backdrops in the photos. This entire family was fun to work with. At the very end of the session, dad asked if we could get a few photos with his vintage Cadillac El Dorado. Why not! This is the first time I’ve had a giant car in family photos, and it was great! It was starting to thunder just as we finished up and the skies got even darker. All of this is just part of the excitement of a family photo session.
Take a look at some photos from our session below. Got an extended family session in mind for your family? Let’s chat and plan your session!
