EXTENDED FAMILY BEACH PHOTOGRAPHY · 30A & DESTIN · FLORIDA
The whole family.
All in one place.
Extended family beach photography on 30A — grandparents, cousins, multiple households — all together on the Emerald Coast. Custom sessions designed around your crew, not the other way around.
"This is actually my favorite kind of session. The chaos, the generations, the cousins running everywhere, this is what 30A vacations are made of and I want to capture every bit of it."Bringing the whole gang?You rented the big house. Everyone flew in. The grandparents haven't seen the grandkids since Christmas. This is the trip and you want photos that actually show what it felt like when everyone was finally in the same place at the same time. That's exactly what I do. Extended family and multi-family beach photography sessions on 30A are custom-built around your group so nobody gets rushed, every household gets what they need, and grandma gets the heirloom portrait she's been waiting for.

Scheduling & Light
Sunset sessions are the most requested for large groups — the golden light on 30A makes everyone look incredible and the sky gives you a backdrop that can't be faked
Sunrise sessions mean an empty beach — ideal for larger groups who need space to spread out without crowds
Full sessions are available morning or evening and work great for back-to-back multi-household setups
Sunset slots are limited to one per evening and fill fast — if your group wants sunset, book early

Questions about large group sessions
Still not sure? Just reach out — I'll figure it out with you.
How much does extended family beach photography on 30A cost?
1
Extended family and multi-family beach sessions on 30A are custom-quoted based on group size and session type. For one extended family session, pricing starts at the individual session rate ($00–$900) with additional family members at $50 per person. For back-to-back multi-household sessions, each family pays their own individual session rate. Reach out with your group size and I'll build you an exact quote.
Can you photograph grandparents and grandkids together on 30A?
2
Yes — multi-generational family beach sessions are one of my specialties on 30A. We photograph all the groupings: the full family together, grandparents with grandkids, individual families, and the cousins together. These are some of the most meaningful sessions I shoot.
What's the difference between the two multi-family options?
3
Option 1 is one session where everyone is photographed together — ideal when grandparents are gifting the session or the focus is on group portraits. Option 2 is back-to-back sessions where each household gets their own gallery plus complimentary group shots — ideal when multiple families each want their own photos. Most families with 3+ households choose Option 2 because the cost splits naturally and everyone gets exactly what they came for.
How many people can you photograph in one beach session?
4
There's no hard cap — I've photographed large groups of 20+ on 30A beaches. For larger groups, I recommend a Sunset or Sunrise session for the longer time window. Just tell me your headcount and I'll tell you exactly what I recommend.
Do the group portraits cost extra in back-to-back sessions?
5
No — grandparent, cousin, and full-group portraits are complimentary when families book back-to-back sessions. We weave them in between individual family sessions so nobody feels rushed and you still get all the generational photos you came for.
How far in advance should we book a large group beach session?
6
For large groups and multi-family sessions on 30A, booking 8–10 weeks out is ideal — especially for sunset, which fills fastest. The more households involved, the earlier you should lock the dates. Reach out as soon as you know your travel dates.
