Extended Family Love: Newborn Memories That Last

There’s something truly special about extended family sessions, especially when they include a newborn. When my newborn clients bring grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins into the studio, it’s not just a photo session—it’s a celebration of family, love, and connection.

These sessions are full of moments that make your heart swell. Grandparents with their new little ones, holding them gently, smiling proudly, and soaking in the joy of a new generation—it’s magic. Cousins interacting, sharing giggles, curiosity, and playful snuggles, create some of the most candid, heartwarming images. And throughout it all, there’s that unmistakable family love that ties everyone together.

Extended family photos are about more than just pictures—they’re memories preserved. Years from now, everyone will look back on these images and remember the joy, the closeness, and the love that filled the room. They tell a story: a story of growth, connection, and the beauty of family bonds.

It’s incredible to watch families gather for a newborn session. The parents are excited, grandparents are emotional, and siblings and cousins are curious and playful. Capturing all of these relationships in one session creates a rich, layered set of portraits that reflect the full family story.

The beauty of these sessions is that every family is different, but the love is universal. Whether it’s a quiet moment with grandparents, a silly interaction between cousins, or everyone together laughing and snuggling, each image captures a unique part of the family’s heart.

At Chunky Monkey Photography, these sessions are some of my favorites. Extended families bring energy, emotion, and so many beautiful layers to the photography. Every smile, every hug, every glance is a treasure—and when a newborn is part of the mix, it makes the memories even more precious.

If you’re welcoming a newborn and want to capture extended family moments, these sessions are a wonderful way to preserve the love and connection that make your family unique. From grandparents to cousins, we’ll make sure every generation is part of your story.
