Extended Family Photos In The Summer At Cheekwood Gardens

a june extended family photo session at cheekwood gardens

Are you looking for a unique and meaningful way to capture your family’s cherished moments? Consider investing in an extended family photo session with me at the stunning Cheekwood Gardens (Dolly DeLong Photography). Cheekwood is a timeless & classic location, so when you pair it with professional photography, it just creates a perfect backdrop for timeless family portraits that you’ll treasure for generations.
So when Kelly Hawj reached out to me to help her capture her family’s extended family reunion session, I was so honored that they were entrusting me with these portraits.

Why Choose an Extended Family Photo Session?

Family gatherings are special occasions filled with love, laughter, and connection. An extended family photo session allows you to celebrate these moments with all your loved ones, from grandparents to grandchildren, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Here are some compelling reasons to invest in this unique experience:

1. Create Lasting Memories

Extended family photo sessions are a fantastic way to document the bonds and relationships within your family. These photos capture the essence of your family’s story, providing you with beautiful memories to look back on for years to come.

2. Celebrate Milestones and Achievements

Whether it’s a family reunion, a milestone birthday, or a special anniversary, an extended family photo session is the perfect way to commemorate these important events. Cheekwood Gardens offers a picturesque setting that enhances the beauty of your family portraits.

3. Preserve Your Family Legacy

Professional family portraits are more than just pictures; they are a legacy that can be passed down through generations. Also, with extended family portrait sessions, you rarely see your entire family (and it is such a special time to be around your loved ones). So Cheekwood is a gorgeous backdrop to capture and preserve the family legacy!
