C & V | Extended Family | Dartmouth Family Photographer

As a family photographer, I have the privilege of capturing the joyous moments and beautiful connections shared among families. Recently, Dartmouth Commons set the stage for a heartwarming spring photoshoot that was filled with love, laughter, and the magic of family. In this delightful session, mom and dad, accompanied by their two young children—a little girl who adored being in front of the camera and a funny little boy who kept us all on our toes—were joined by the cherished presence of grandma and grandpa, visiting all the way from Spain!

I’m not sure if it is a by-product of COVID-19, but over the last two years, I’ve been asked numerous times to do extended family sessions, and I have to say I am very pleased about this new trend. I love taking pictures of these big families! Maybe it’s because I have my own kids now. It definitely hits different when I get to meet parents with their grown-up children who now have children of their own. It’s just great to be invited into see it all, even if it’s only a brief glimpse.

This was a pretty great occasion to have pictures done. One sister decided to move back home after spending a number of years out in Alberta. Now the group is complete and it really does seem like one big happy family. This was fun and relaxed, and so much cousin love. Hope I get to meet them all again!

I visited S & I at their home in Bedford, just a few weeks after the birth of their third child. A beautiful home, with an even more beautiful family. One of my favorite parts of family photography, especially in-home sessions, is a glimpse of the family dynamic. Mom and dad were laid back. Mom was lovely and just seemed so happy to have her little crew all together. The girls were gentle and loving to their new baby brother. The vibe the whole family gave off was really nice and I can tell there is a lot of love in that home! What a pleasure to be invited in to capture these important first weeks of bringing baby home.
