Top 10 Reasons to have an At Home Session – Extended Family Version

Top 10 Reasons to have your extended family photo session at home

Advantages include:

  1. No travel or traffic stress
  2. Don’t have to worry about crowds at your location
  3. Instant access to snacks, diapers or outfit changes for the kids
  4. Lots of chances to play in your yard – throw leaves, climb trees, and dance around
  5. Also if the kids need a break, they can play nearby while other family members get their turn in front of the camera
  6. Easy for social distancing (I’m always masked and keeping my distance)
  7. Kids are more comfortable on their home turf
  8. Inspiration and deadline to clean up your backyard and front porch 😉
  9. It’s unique – no one else is getting their photos taken at your house
  10. Excuse to buy some cute new plants or holiday decorations for your yard (optional)

It was a treat to hang out in this extended family’s yard and document how much fun they have together, even in quarantine times.

Seider Springs Greenbelt – Family Photo Session

Seider Springs Greenbelt – Family Photo Session

Did you know that in 1865, General George Custer and his men camped under the sheltering live oaks at Seiders’ Springs? The Shoal Creek Conservatory has the whole history of this location if you’re curious.

History aside, this family was happy to just meet in a mostly people-free spot for family photos in the time of Covid. And those live oaks were the backdrop for some of the photos seen below.

Tanglewood Park – Fall Family Photo Session

Tanglewood Park – Fall Family Photo Session

It’s a yearly tradition to meet at Tanglewood Park for this Family’s Holiday photo session. And as with any photo session involving a toddler, we all followed little brother’s lead. Which meant taking frequent snack breaks and always being on the move to check out new parts of the park.

At-home – Fall Family Session

Because of Covid, I’ve had many more at-home sessions than any other year. And this fun family got to to hang out and play around in their front and backyard in South Austin for their holiday photos.

Bull Creek – Fall Family Photo Session

Bull Creek – Fall Family Photo Session

There’s a reason I always see at least five other photographers working at Bull Creek whenever I shoot there in the Fall. Between the water and the rocks and Fall colors, it’s a magical kind of place. Besides that, it also makes me say, “Oh – that’s my new favorite log!” when I find a new spot to let families hang out on.
