Generational Photos
Are you looking to get a multi-generational photo taken?
(Children, parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, etc.)
Please schedule each individual family's appointment separately but with back-to-back sessions and the photographers will work with you to capture a full group photo at the end of your individual sessions. When you arrive for your photo session, instruct the photographer that you are having individual family photos taken and one generational group photo, and which photos should be included in the SJA parishioner photo directory.
Not a parishioner? THAT'S OK!
If some of the families are not parishioners, you are still welcome to have individual family photos taken as well as generational photos. Simply instruct the photographer as to which families should be included in the SJA parish directory and which should not be included. You will still get your historic photos!
