From a family we’ve photographed
“We chose Michelle for our extended family photographs while on vacation in Florida. She was punctual, communicative, easygoing, and what really matters: the pictures are amazing. We had a tough time narrowing them down because there were so many great shots.”
Taylor & Jake
Extended-family portfolio
The full group is only the beginning. We’ll also photograph the generations, individual households, siblings, cousins and the relationships that make the gathering meaningful.

The person behind your photographs
Wife, mama, kid chaser and a straight shooter with a soft spot for a good laugh. For more than 15 years, we’ve photographed families around Orlando and Florida’s coast—and Michelle photographs every family session herself.
We’ll help with the location and outfits, give you clear direction, and adjust the pace when children need a moment. You can expect portraits of everyone together, smaller family combinations and the expressions that make these photographs yours.

The group plan
Before the session, we’ll learn who belongs with whom and which photographs matter most. On the day, we’ll guide the full family and the smaller groups naturally, so you can be part of the experience instead of directing everyone yourself.
That little bit of preparation gives you a much fuller gallery and lets grandparents, little ones and individual households relax when their part is finished.
Mobility, little children and vacation logistics
We’ll consider grandparents, toddlers, strollers, parking and how everyone is arriving before recommending a location. The setting should be beautiful, but it also needs to feel comfortable for the people you love.
For rental homes and resorts, we’ll confirm whether professional photography is allowed. When a property is not the best fit, we can recommend a nearby alternative with better light, more space and fewer complications.
Planning a larger group
Yes. We regularly photograph multi-generational families. Tell us the total number of people, households and children so we can recommend enough time and build a comfortable plan before everyone arrives.
We’ll learn how everyone is connected ahead of time. We usually begin with the full family, then move through grandparents, individual households, siblings, cousins, couples and children in an order that keeps things moving smoothly.
The 60-minute Signature Collection is usually the most comfortable fit. It gives us more room for the full group, smaller family combinations and the natural in-between moments without making everyone feel rushed.
Please tell us before we choose the location. We’ll look for a beautiful setting with easier parking, shorter walking distances and terrain that feels comfortable for the people joining us.
Possibly. The property must allow professional photography and have enough space and suitable light for the group. We’ll help you think it through, while any required permission, parking, admission or location fee remains the client’s responsibility.
Choose a shared color palette instead of identical outfits. We’ll send practical guidance so each household can feel like themselves while the entire family still looks beautifully connected.
Ready when you are
Tell us your dates and who is coming, and we’ll help with the rest. We’ll reply with availability and send your booking link when you’re ready.
How we photograph large extended families
Large-family sessions are organized before we start so the people who need to finish first can do exactly that.
We create the most important photograph while everyone is together and attention is fresh.
Grandparents and young children are photographed early so they do not have to wait through every combination.
Each family unit gets its own portraits, followed by siblings, cousins, couples and the combinations you are most likely to print.
Once the must-have groupings are covered, we leave room for movement, laughter and photographs that feel less posed.
We regularly photograph multi-generational families of 10, 20 or more people throughout Orlando, Central Florida resorts and the beaches.
Before everyone arrives
One organizer, a final household list and a sensible grouping order make a large session feel much easier. The guide also covers mobility, clothing, young children and private family dynamics.
