EXTENDED Family Photography

waikato & bay of plenty Photographer

Family photoshoots are about capturing you and your family's love for one another, the hugs, the laughs and the funny faces. No matter whether your children are already in their teens or they still want to hunt for shells or make a sand castle and bury dad, we won't be death staring the camera. What we will be doing is capturing your family, making each of you feel amazing, capturing the fun or little ones, giving confidence to teenagers, creating beautiful portraits to capture this moment in your families life.

Don't worry, I'll always give you prompts and even tell you where to put your hands when you look a little lost!

EXTENDED FAMILY SHOOTS INCLUDE:

Individual Portraits

Sibling Portraits

Couple Portraits

I always make sure to take each adult and child's photograph individually but don't worry, I'll tell you exactly what to do so you don't feel uncomfortable!

We'll make sure to grab a photograph of each set of siblings as well as brothers and sisters, not just looking at the camera but in a more candid way as well that shows more personality.

Even parents and couples should have at least one nice photo of them together, it's not just about the kids! Don't worry though, again, I'll tell you exactly what to do to not be awkward!

Individual Family Portraits

Movement Shots

Each Parent + Child

Each little family unit get's it's time in the spot light, ensuring we capture both those looking at the camera family portraits as well as some more natural candid images for each family unit.

If all you and your children do is stare at the camera for two hours you'll get pretty bored. I always make sure to add in some games for the little ones and some movement for the elders.

I like to make sure we capture dad with his kids and mum with her kids and that special bond that each parent has with each child. This usually fits in as we shoot each individual family unit.

All The Cousins

All The Adults

Families + Grandparents

Cousin photos are such a great way to show the different ages of the whole group of kids as well as a great picture for grandparents walls, showing all their grandchildren in one shot!

Of course we have to grab a set of the adult children as well as the generational sets, like all the boys or all the girls. These are some of my most popular requests!

Each family unit gets it's photo with the grandparents involved if requested, this is usually doable so long as everyone is mobile and can last the length of the whole shoot.

Kids + Grandparents

The Whole Group

Candid Images

It's always great to capture those lovely moments between grandparents and their grandchildren so we want to ensure we add that to your list of requested shots.

We'll make sure to grab a photograph of the whole group with everyone involved as a candid shot as well as a looking at the camera set, close up as well as featuring more of the landscape.

Every family unit and combination set will be given a few prompts to capture more candid versions of the set, ensuring we get both looking at the camera and more candid moments.

EXTENDED FAMILY PACKAGES

Your package is based on the number of people that will attend your photoshoot as this directly relates to the amount of time needed and the number of images delivered.

Extended Family Photoshoots are perfect to capture the whole family, including the cousins and grandparents and ensure that those beautiful memories, connections and people are captured, especially as families spread out around the world or grow up.

90-120 Minutes

EXTENDED FAMILY SHOOT

$1450 - Up to 10 People

HAVE A LARGER GROUP?

That's totally fine, simply add them onto your $1450 package price. Each additional person, regardless of age is $50 per head. So, for example:

A group of 20 people will be $1450 + ($50 x 10 people) = $1950

FAQ

Where do we print our photos?

How soon do we need to book?

How many images can I expect?

Can we bring our furbabies?

It's super easy to purchase prints, albums, frames, canvas or even calendars of your beautiful images right from your online gallery! Simply hit the shop icon to add to cart or check out the different products in the shop menu! You can of course take your chosen images elsewhere to print as well too.

Absolutely! Your furbaby is a part of your family and should absolutely be included! Let me know when you book that you'd like to bring your puppy along so that we make sure to choose a location suitable for your furry family member!

This will depend on your shoot length as well as your little ones but it's always plenty. For each 60 minutes, you can usually expect over 100 images in your gallery! We do different combinations, individuals as well as lots of fun or silly games so you'll have plenty of beautiful images, posed and candid shots as well as various angles to choose from!

For weekends, I'm often booked out a few months in advance so it's best to book as soon as you know you'd like a photoshoot with me. Weekends are usually booked out much sooner than weekdays are, with only a limited number of weekend dates available throughout the year due to weddings.

Is extended family welcome?

When is the best time for photos?

Well that depends if you like beautiful forests or greenery or amazing sunsets. Regardless, I prefer to shoot in the morning before the sun gets too high and harsh or in the last hour before the sunsets to get the best light. Winter, Summer, Spring and Autumn all have beautiful looks but if you'd like a sunset, remember that is Summer we shoot around 7.30pm where as in Winter, it's around 4pm.

Extended Family Shoots are a great way for you to get your whole family photographed together as well as the smaller family units and various groupings like the kids with the grandparents or all the cousins together. It does take longer than a normal family shoot so there are special packages for this.  Make sure to book in via the Contact Form for extended families below.

My family were lucky enough to get a shoot with Haley over the weekend and she made it so comfortable, easy and fun! I was terrified to have photos taken that I didn't have control over, always having an excuse about wanting to "look" better before I book it.. but boy am I happy we did it. I now have beautifully taken photos of my family in a stunning location that will be cherished for ever. My children can treasure these, show their kids one day. As we age we lose parts of ourselves, I am so happy I will have these to look back on. A captured moment in time. The happiness, laughter and connection is preserved within each image. We can be reminded of this feeling every time we look at them. Thank you so much Haley. I can not recommend taking the leap and doing a Family Photo Shoot with her more! 10 out of 10. xoxo

Haley is so talented, she made us feel relaxed and at ease. I’ve never enjoyed having photos taken as much as I did throughout our session, and amazing with our little girls as well! Thank you so much.

I can't recommend Haley enough! With a 7 month old and a partner not very willing to have his photograph taken I was very nervous! However Haley made it so easy and relaxed doing this she captured everything and more than we could have ever imagined. Amazing photographer, very talented. Thank you again Haley.

We met Haley for the first time during our photoshoot. She is so lovely and so easy going. Josh and I have never had any professional photos taken together, so we weren't sure what to do but Haley made us feel at ease and very comfortable. The photos are amazingly beautiful. Can’t wait to have our wedding photos taken by her! Thank you, Haley.

It was AMAZING being photographed by Haley the other day! Haley is a true inspiration to me and a fantastic mentor, I've assisted her in the studio and watched her work her magic with so many wonderful women, it was an honour to be on the other side of the action! It was truly special and a huge confidence boost to see myself looking my absolute best. Haley was wonderful working with my crazy kids and my hesitant husband too! Haley a genius with so many different types of photography - 1000% recommend her ❤

I was super nervous beforehand, I was expecting it to be super awkward and way out of my comfort zone. Haley is so accommodating so my experience was completely the opposite, everything was sorted out, and there was no room left for awkwardness. Her team of makeup and hair artists are committed to their work and I felt that everything was absolutely perfect. I felt super comfortable and have come out the other side with some amazing pictures! Will definitely be coming back for any future pictures!!

I couldn't recommend Haley enough. She's super accommodating, fun to work with whilst being extremely professional. Our team of four (none of us particularly photogenic), found her instructions & lead of great value. Haley, go up on your prices, you offer way more then what you charge for!

I took the plunge and booked in with Haley Adele Portraits for professional headshots and branding photos. Haley made the whole experience absolutely amazing throughout.
Haley had me absolutely speechless today going through my reveal! I honestly can't thank you enough for the time you gave me, the direction and laughs! I am most certainly booking in regularly for updated shots simply because everyone needs to see themselves through Haley's eyes. Haley, thank you so much! ❤

Haley did our engagement shoot a few weeks ago, as part of our overall wedding package. The photos are amazing, and Haley really helped us get comfortable with something we're not used to doing (bit of PDA). Can't wait for the wedding next year! Thanks Haley. Brad and Izzy.
