Extended family sessions are always so special, and Claire’s family session at the Somerset Condominium on Marco Island was no exception. With multiple generations gathered together, this was the perfect opportunity to capture group portraits, candid laughter, and all the little in-between moments that show the heart of a family.


Extended Family Photos on Marco Island

One of the best parts about photographing at the Somerset Condominium is the direct access to wide, open stretches of Marco Island beach. It gave us the perfect backdrop for Claire’s extended family, allowing plenty of space for group portraits and smaller family combinations. From grandparents and parents to kids running through the sand, every moment felt effortless and natural.


Candid and Relaxed Family Sessions

Large family sessions don’t have to feel overwhelming. My approach is always relaxed and fun, focusing on connection instead of stiff posing. Claire’s family laughed together, played with the kids, and embraced the joy of being at the beach. These are the moments that turn into timeless keepsakes — the ones that bring you back to this vacation for years to come.

Why Extended Family Sessions Matter

Vacations and holidays are often the only times extended families are all in one place. That’s what makes sessions like Claire’s so meaningful. By photographing every combination — grandparents with grandkids, cousins together, siblings with their parents — we created a gallery that celebrates every relationship in the family.


Claire’s session at the Somerset Condominium was filled with warmth, laughter, and love — a true reminder of why extended family sessions matter so much.
