Generation Family Sessions


The perfect gift to commemorate a milestone birthday, retirement, or anniversary. Grandparents, their children, spouses, and all the grandchildren are included in these very special extended family photography sessions!


During these sessions I have several goals - the first is to get at least two different posed images of the entire extended family. The cousins photo is a must-have and, of course the most anticipated image is grandparents surrounded by their grandchildren. Each individual family and set of siblings will have a short time slot to focus on getting images of just them, and there’s always time at the end for additional groupings as requested.


Images for generation sessions tend to be more posed but we can add some fun in at the end with candid images of the whole group. These sessions are a ton of fun and a huge hit with the grandparents! I do have several clients that swap out their mini sessions for generation sessions every few years and use their time as a family as their mini session.


We can schedule this session at a location meaningful to your family, or I am happy to suggest a few parks that photograph really well. Scheduling is the trickiest part so if you have a family with tight timelines we will plan a rain-date when you book, just incase.


I’d love to hear about your family and what you are celebrating!


I look forward to meeting your family!




These sessions make the perfect mother’s day gift, father’s day gift, anniversary gift, and the perfect retirement gift. I photograph generation, or extended, family sessions throughout Rhode Island, including Newport, Portsmouth, Middletown, Bristol, Barrington, Providence, and throughout the state. I also have several favorite places to photograph extended family sessions in Massachusetts including Medfield, Walpole, Dover, North Attleboro, Foxboro, and Boston.
