Orlando Extended Family Photographer

As an Orlando Extended Family Photographer, There’s something incredibly special about watching a family grow in front of your camera over the years. This extended family session at Johns Lake was extra meaningful to me because I’ve had the joy of photographing both of their weddings. Being invited back to capture this season of their lives as parents, siblings, and now an even bigger family was such an honor.

We met at a quiet spot along Johns Lake, which gave us the perfect mix of glowing sunset light, peaceful water, and space for the kids to run and play. Everyone came dressed in soft, coordinated tones that looked beautiful against the natural backdrop. It was relaxed, full of laughter, and one of those sessions that just makes you smile the whole way through.

Why Extended Family Sessions Matter

Extended family portraits are about more than a group photo. They’re about capturing generations together, celebrating milestones, and creating keepsakes that will be passed down. Whether it’s cousins playing together, grandparents cuddling the newest baby, or siblings reunited for a rare visit, these moments deserve to be documented.

Why Johns Lake Is a Hidden Gem

Located near Clermont, Johns Lake is a beautiful and quiet option for family sessions. It offers the kind of natural Florida beauty that photographs so well, with golden hour light reflecting off the water and soft greenery all around. It’s easily accessible and feels private, which is ideal for large family groups with young kids.

Tips for Planning Your Extended Family Session

• Coordinate your outfits but don’t match exactly. Stick with complementary tones and let each family’s personality shine through.
• Arrive early to give everyone time to settle in, especially with kids or grandparents.
• Bring water, snacks, and even a favorite toy or two to keep little ones happy and engaged.
• Trust your photographer to guide you through the session. I’ll help with posing, lighting, and keeping things fun and relaxed.
