There aren’t many occasions when an entire extended family is in the same place at the same time. Adult children have families of their own. Grandchildren have school and sports. People move to different states and before you know it, getting everyone together requires calendars, plane tickets and a lot of planning.

When most families think about scheduling professional photos, they imagine trying to fit another appointment into an already busy season of life.

Between school schedules, sports practices, work commitments, and everyday responsibilities, finding a date that works for everyone can feel like a challenge in itself. That's one of the reasons so many families choose to schedule family photos during vacation instead.
