The McDonald Family at Aggie Park: Extended Family Photos

One of my favorite things about being a photographer is capturing stories that span across generations. This extended family photo session with the McDonald family at Aggie Park was especially meaningful to me—not just because of the beautiful photos, but because I’ve known this family since high school. Their daughter Laura was even my college roommate, so photographing their family was a true honor and full-circle moment.

Extended family sessions like this one are always special. With grandparents, parents, children, and siblings all together, the images become more than portraits—they become heirlooms. Extended family photography captures not only the individuals but also the connections, traditions, and joy that tie everyone together.

The McDonald family’s Aggie Park session was filled with laughter, hugs, and those little in-between moments that often become the most cherished. We took time for group photos with everyone, smaller groupings with siblings and cousins, and of course some sweet moments of grandparents with their grandchildren. These combinations tell a fuller story and give each family member images they’ll treasure for years.

Aggie Park provided the perfect backdrop—lush greens, open skies, and a setting that felt both timeless and personal to their family’s story. The grandkids had space to run and play while the adults shared smiles that reflected years of love and memories. That balance of candid play and meaningful groupings is exactly what makes extended family sessions so rewarding.

If you’ve ever considered scheduling an extended family session, take this as your sign! Whether at a meaningful location like Aggie Park or in the comfort of your own home, these sessions create memories that grow more valuable with time.

Don’t wait for “someday” to gather everyone together. Celebrate your family’s story now with portraits that reflect love through the generations.
