Multi Family Beach Photography

Vacationing Together? Let’s Photograph Everyone

Multi family portraits are made for friends, siblings, cousins, and several households sharing a beach trip. We’ll create photos of the entire group, each family separately, the kids together, and the smaller combinations that matter to everyone.

Session Length Usually 60 to 90 minutes
Final Images 15 edited images per family
Investment $1,200

Every Family Included

We’ll photograph everyone together, then create a complete set of portraits for each individual family included in the session.

Planned Beforehand

I’ll collect the names of each family and your requested combinations before the session, so nothing important gets missed.

Organized, Not Stiff

I’ll guide each group clearly and keep the session moving while mixing group portraits with walking, playing, and natural interaction.

Thoughtfully Edited

Each family receives 15 professionally edited images from the session, with a shared gallery that includes the full group and the moments you created together.

Fast Delivery

Most proof galleries are delivered within a few days. Once each family selects its favorites, I’ll complete the final edits and deliver the high resolution gallery.

Built Around Your Trip

Sessions can be planned near your rental or at Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, Fort Fisher, Oak Island, or another nearby coastal location.

FAQ

How many families can be included?

Most sessions include two to five families, but larger groups are welcome. Contact me if you have a larger gathering planned.

Will each family receive their own photos?

Yes. We'll photograph every family individually along with the full group and a variety of combinations throughout the session.

How long does a multi family portrait session take?

Most sessions last between 45 and 90 minutes depending on the number of families and requested photo combinations.

What should everyone wear?

Choose colors that coordinate instead of matching exactly. Soft blues, whites, creams, and earth tones photograph beautifully at the beach.
