Extended Family Portrait Photographer | Pinecrest Gardens Photo Session | Miami, FL

Capturing extended family sessions is always special, but returning to photograph a family for the third time—and these grandparents for the fourth—makes it even more meaningful. When grandma called, wanting updated photos that included their youngest grandchild, I was thrilled. Watching families grow over the years and preserving those connections is truly an honor.

We photographed in the late morning at the gorgeous Pinecrest Gardens in Miami, FL, embracing the challenge of finding flattering light at a time that worked best for them. Many photographers stick to golden-hour sessions, but I believe that happy kids are more important than a perfect sunset! When families feel comfortable, the magic happens naturally.

If you're looking for a family photographer to update your portraits in Miami, FL, or the surrounding areas in South Florida, I’d love to help you document this chapter of your family's story. Let’s create timeless images that celebrate your loved ones!

This family quarantined and road tripped so they could spend some time together at mom and dad’s home in Florida over the winter holiday. I love that they chose an extended family photo session to document their time together. I know covid has made me appreciate family time more, and I love that they’ll have these images to remember some maskless moments.
