Hey there, lovely souls! It’s that time of year again when the sun is shining, flowers are blooming, and the weather is just begging us to get outside and make memories.

And what better way to do that than with an extended family photoshoot?

At Summer Brader Photography, I'm all about freezing those special moments in time,

and here's why I believe extended family sessions are an absolute must, especially as we tiptoe into the delightful seasons of spring through fall!



  1. Celebrate Connection: Spring and summer are all about new beginnings, and what better way to celebrate those fresh starts than by bringing your whole clan together? Extended family sessions are the perfect opportunity to capture the bonds that tie us together—the laughter, the inside jokes, and those heartwarming moments that make being with family so special. Whether it's a reunion, a milestone celebration, or simply a beautiful day to cherish each other's company, these sessions allow you to honor the connections that matter most.
  2. Create Lasting Memories: Time flies faster than a hummingbird, and before you know it, the little ones are all grown up, and life has whisked us away on different paths. But fear not! With an extended family session, you're not just capturing smiles; you're creating timeless treasures that will adorn your walls and photo albums for generations to come. Imagine gathering around years from now, flipping through these photographs, and reliving the joy and love shared on a sunny breezy day.
  3. Embrace the Casual Vibes: Spring and summer are synonymous with relaxation and casual fun. So why not reflect that in your family photos? Say goodbye to stiff poses and forced smiles—our extended family sessions are all about capturing the authentic essence of your crew. Whether you're picnicking in the park, frolicking on the beach, or simply enjoying each other's company in your backyard, we'll capture those candid moments that truly showcase your family's unique personality.
  4. Take Advantage of Mild Weather: Ah, spring and fall —the seasons of perfect weather! With the chill of winter behind us and the sweltering heat of summer calming down, spring and fall offer the ideal conditions for an outdoor photoshoot. The soft, golden light, the gentle breeze rustling through the trees, and the vibrant colors all around create a picturesque backdrop for your family portraits. Plus, with mild temperatures, everyone can feel comfortable and at ease, ensuring that your photoshoot is as enjoyable as it is beautiful.
  5. Spread the Love: Let's face it—after the whirlwind of the past couple of years, we could all use a little extra love and connection. Extended family sessions provide the perfect opportunity to come together, celebrate each other, and spread love like confetti. Whether you're reuniting after time apart or simply taking a moment to appreciate the ones you hold dear, these sessions are a heartwarming reminder of the beauty of family bonds.


So there you have it, folks! As we gear up for the glorious seasons of spring and fall, why not kick things off with an extended family session that's equal parts fun, relaxed, and full of love?

At Summer Brader Photography, I'm here to help you capture those precious moments and turn them into cherished memories that will warm your heart for years to come.


Get in touch today, and let's make some magic together!


Cheers to family, laughter, and the joy of springtime adventures!
