This is the time of year that we get many calls for generation photographs, or as we usually call them - extended family portrait sessions. This is a time to get everyone in the family - starting with the eldest generation in a portrait. That means grandparents, their children, and their children! Typically three generations, but sometimes even four! Our studio has two sets with a 20 ft wide backdrop wall that accommodate large groups. We can photograph up to 20-25 people in one photo, in fact we actually squeezed 32 into a photograph in our studio a few years back!
*We're holding a specific date for these sessions!
When: Dec. 28th
Where: SkySight Photography Studio in Greensburg
(409 Coulter Ave, Suite 100, Greensburg, PA 15601)
Pricing for an extended family session is based on our regular studio session rates, which are priced by time and choice of digitals or prints. That information can be found here on this page. A 60 minute block is ideal for families who are all doing a single outfit (no changes) and are no larger than approx 12-15 people, with three maximum sub-families. If more than that, I suggest 90 minute block. Within your session I will typically photograph many breakdowns of shots including, but not limited to, the entire group in a few poses, each sub family, the grandparents with grandchildren, the middle generation (kids of the grandparents), the youngest generation (all the grandkids), and if time allows, each sibling group as well.
We have two areas for your extended family session set up. A light set with white boxes and lighter fabric furniture (soft, light tan wall and floor) as well as a darker "Vanity Fair" group photo inspired set, with rustic elements like ladders and old crates!
