Capturing Precious Moments: Why Extended Family Sessions in the South West Are So Special

At Emma Marie Photography, I believe in the magic of real connection—the kind that only happens when families come together, laugh, play, and soak in each other’s company. That’s why I absolutely love offering extended family sessions in the stunning South West of WA.

Whether you're holidaying from Perth, visiting from the Eastern States, or soaking up the relaxed vibes of a beautiful Airbnb by the coast, an extended family session is the perfect way to remember your time here—and the people you shared it with.

What is an Extended Family Session?

An extended family session goes beyond the typical family shoot. It’s designed to include multiple generations—grandparents, parents, kids, siblings, and even beloved pets. These sessions beautifully capture the essence of your larger family group while allowing space for smaller groupings and individual moments too.

Think:

Grandparents with grandkids
Sibling portraits
Cousins playing in the sand
Full group photos with the ocean or bushland as your backdrop

It’s a relaxed, fun, and heartfelt way to celebrate your family’s story.

Why Book One While You’re on Holiday?

Let’s face it: life is busy. Between work, school runs, and everyday commitments, it’s hard to get everyone in the same place—let alone in front of a camera. Holidays in the South West offer a rare and special opportunity where the whole family is together, free from schedules and stress.

📍 Perfect Locations:

The South West is full of natural beauty—whether it’s the beaches of Dunsborough and Yallingup, the forests of Margaret River, or the rolling hills around Busselton. I know the best local spots to match your family’s vibe and style.

🏡 Holiday Homes & Airbnbs:

Many families stay in spacious holiday homes or Airbnbs that offer great light, cozy vibes, and beautiful outdoor areas—perfect for relaxed, lifestyle-style family portraits. I can come to you and work with the natural flow of your space, making the experience even easier.

📸 Stress-Free, Natural Sessions:

My approach is gentle, fun, and flexible. I’m there to guide you, help you feel at ease, and capture the real moments—those little looks, giggles, and hugs that mean everything.

A Timeless Gift

Extended family sessions aren’t just for now—they’re a gift to your future selves. These photos become treasured keepsakes that grow more valuable with time. They're the ones that get printed, framed, passed down, and revisited for generations.

Whether it’s to mark a milestone birthday, celebrate a special trip, or just because you’re finally all in the same place—there’s no better time to capture it.
