Multi-Generational Memories in the Cape Cod Dunes

There’s something truly special about photographing families on Cape Cod — the combination of salty air, golden dunes, and the laughter of loved ones all coming together in one perfect moment. This beautiful extended family gathered for a summer evening session, and the result was a gallery filled with warmth, connection, and joy.

We met in the tall grasses of the Cape Cod dunes, where the light spills across the horizon in soft golden tones. It’s one of my favorite spots for sessions because it feels private, natural, and timeless — the perfect backdrop for family portraits that will become heirlooms.

This group was full of energy and love. From grandparents to the youngest little one, every family member played a part in telling the story. I love multi-generational sessions like this because they highlight such sweet bonds. Watching everyone interact — holding hands, sharing laughs, and snuggling close — reminded me why these portraits matter so much.

We started with full group photos to capture the entire family together, and then broke down into smaller combinations — couples, siblings, and grandparents with their first grandchild. The warm evening light gave everything a soft glow, making it easy to capture natural smiles and relaxed poses.

Family sessions like this are more than just photographs. They’re a way to hold onto moments that pass too quickly — little ones growing up, summers that feel endless, the joy of being together in a place as meaningful as Cape Cod. My goal is always to create images that feel authentic, joyful, and lasting.

If you’re planning a Cape Cod vacation or family gathering, there’s no better time to create your own timeless portraits. Summer dates book quickly, so reach out to reserve your session and let’s capture the love, laughter, and legacy of your family.
