Extended Family Session in Little Compton, RI

I LOVE extended family photo sessions. To be able to get the whole gang together and capture memories with all the different dynamics is just so special. 

I have been photographing this family for a few years now. The first session had 2 kids less than these photos and since then they have added 2 more to the bunch! How exciting for me to be able to watch families grow together!

This summer day we started off at the family’s vacation home, where we captured some classic posed photos. I pride myself on my imagery being full of life and authentic emotion but you also want to capture the simplicity of just the family. They looked sharp, dressed to the nines, and ready for their close-ups. But as much fun as the posed shots were, the real magic happened when we hit the beach.

The kids wasted no time running to the water, splashing and laughing as they frolicked in the wake. We ran down the beach, pig-piled on top of each other, and generally just had a great time goofing around. It was so much fun to see the family let loose and just enjoy each other’s company.

As the sun began to dip below the horizon, we kept snapping away, capturing the beauty of the moments. 

All in all, it was an unforgettable day, filled with love, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime. I feel so lucky to have been a part of it all, and I can’t wait to see what other adventures this amazing family will get up to in the future!
