Extended Family Session at Botanic Gardens

March 18, 2026

A warm Summer afternoon at the Christchurch Botanic Gardens capturing Suzie and her family.

Extended family sessions can sometimes feel like a lot to organise, lining up everyone’s schedules and getting everyone on board, but once you’re all together, it’s always so worth it. There’s something really special about having everyone in the same place, even just for a little while.

We captured those classic group photos, the ones I know will be held onto for years, and then let the rest of the session unfold naturally. The kids ran around together, laughing and playing, while the in-between moments quietly happened, a sweet handshake between dad and grandad, shared laughs, and those small interactions that say so much.

A little bit busy, a little bit chaotic at times, but full of love exactly how these moments should be. 🤍
