As New Hampshire family photographers, we are blessed with some pretty gorgeous backdrops for our portrait sessions. Extended family sessions are among the most popular that we do. Especially in nicer weather, NH and Maine are buzzing with family gatherings. Family vacation homes on the lake, AirBnB’s in the White Mountains, and summer cottages along the seacoast all become memory incubators for aunts and uncles, grandparents, grandkids, moms, dads, brothers & sisters and cousins. These are times tailor-made for a family portrait session with Birch Blaze! As you’ll see from this large family portrait session in Meredith, NH, on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, we like to combine big, extended family group shots with more relaxed, “lifestyle” captures, mixing and matching siblings, cousins, grandkids to highlight the kinship that makes these gatherings truly special.
