Christ Cathedral
I love witnessing all kinds of love stories and beautiful interactions amongst people who truly care for one another. This extend family session in Garden Grove, CA left me feeling so wholesome, with a vision to create a family dynamic that is healthy and full of support for each individual.
Family photos are an essential part of preserving cherished memories. They capture the love, joy, and connection within a family. Let the precious photos below inspire you to schedule your family photo shoot this year. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
The best part about “family” is that no matter how far apart you are, there is always an opportunity to gather and enjoy each other’s presence. This extended family session was one of the most awesome experiences I’ve had the opportunity to capture.
After 2 years, we made it happen…
“L” and her family of four have been my clients since the beginning of my photography business, and she has always had a vision to make her extended family session happen.
She scheduled her annual photos every year with me and it has been like that for two years.
One of the highest compliments a photographer can ever receive is to see your work displayed in your clients home. When I first stepped into L’s home for her son’s newborn session, I was surprised and in awe to see my photos displayed. It was my proud moment and that feeling reminded me why I love being a family photographer so much.
This past year, L reached out to me to book an extended family session because everyone will be in town for a wedding. Talk about perfect timing!
The Christ Cathedral was the perfect location for the family photoshoot since it was so close to her home, and they were also Roman Catholics.
The extended family session left me feeling very inspirational! #familygoals
I witnessed a type of family love that could not be affected by time or distance. They were laughing, bonding, and simply enjoying each other’s company. It was a rare opportunity and I knew how important this meant to them.
We were even able to replicate a childhood photo of them standing like a totem pole but an adult version. It was so precious and cute.
We unintentionally also captured a moment with the beautiful golden light. We honestly did not plan this part, but I love how the glow illuminated so nicely on each individual.
I hope you enjoyed this extended family session just as much as I did, take a look at their updated family gallery below.

For Catholics living in Orange County or visiting, I highly recommend attending mass at Christ Cathedral to experience a different kind of ambiance and beauty. While the mass format is the same as any Catholic mass you attend, the architecture makes it feel different and ethereal. Check out the Christ Cathedral mass times here.
