Celebrate Your Legacy: Extended Family Portraits in Portsmouth, NH & Seacoast Beaches

There’s something incredibly special about gathering generations of family together. Whether it's grandparents, siblings, cousins, or new additions to the family tree, extended family portraits are a beautiful way to celebrate the love and connection that spans across time.

At Eye Sugar Photography, based right here in Portsmouth, NH, we specialize in extended family sessions that feel natural, fun, and meaningful. Whether your family is visiting the Seacoast for a reunion, vacation, or holiday, we’re here to help you turn this rare time together into timeless portraits.

Why Extended Family Portraits Matter

Extended family photo sessions go beyond the typical family portrait. They capture the full story—grandparents with grandkids, siblings reunited, and multiple generations in one frame. These are the photos that will be shared at weddings, displayed on walls, and passed down for generations.

With everyone together, it’s the perfect opportunity to capture a wide range of groupings: full family shots, individual family units, kids and cousins, and of course, the legacy moments like grandparents with their grandchildren.

Beautiful Locations Across the NH Seacoast

The Seacoast offers a breathtaking backdrop for extended family portraits. Some of our favorite spots include:

  • Rye Beaches (like Jenness and Wallis Sands) – Soft sand, open skies, and space for big group photos
  • Great Island Common in New Castle – Perfect for a coastal session with lighthouse views
  • Prescott Park in Portsmouth – Gardens, walkways, and waterfront charm
  • Odiorne Point State Park – Coastal trails and rocky shorelines for stunning scenic shots

Whether your family prefers the beach, a park, or the character of downtown Portsmouth, we’ll help you choose the perfect location to match your vibe.

A Relaxed, Guided Experience

We know large groups can feel overwhelming—but we’re pros at keeping things relaxed, organized, and fun. During your session, we’ll guide you through a variety of poses and candid moments, making sure each family unit gets their spotlight while also capturing the big picture.

From helping you choose coordinating outfits to planning the best time of day for lighting and mood, we’ll make sure your extended family session feels effortless and enjoyable.
