Ravine Gardens state park Family Photos
Family photography at new locations gets my heart racing. As a family photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine, Florida I am lucky enough to do family photos in many beautiful places. That being said, going to the same place again and again can get old. So when families say "Yes" to new locations I have found I am definitely one happy photographer. This beautiful state park feels like a hidden gem located in a small town west of St Augustine and across the street from a

St Augustine Florida Family Photographer
Family Photography is definitely one of my most popular photoshoots. Even after Fall (aka family photo season), being able to meet up and photograph wonderful families makes me so happy. It may have been a little chilly, but Emily styled her family perfectly for it and add in some running and lots of hugs and everyone stayed warm. As a St Augustine Florida family photographer, I know that styling is a BIG part of knowing how your images will turn out. I am currently working o

Lifestyle Family Photography in St Augustine Florida
Normally, as a family photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine Florida, when clients as for family photos they mean the beach or a park. BUT, when a client wants a Lifestyle Family Photoshoot in their home? That's awesome. What do you need for a Lifestyle Family session at home? One (or two) rooms with a large window and good light. That's it. Nothing more. This whole session was done in one room of their home they had just moved into and still had boxes everywhere. This

Ponte Vedra Beach Family Photographer
Beach Family Photography is a staple here in Florida. Because we have amazing beaches. As a Ponte Vedra Beach family photographer I never get tired of all the beaches we have and meeting families there for sunrise or sunset sessions. Since 2020, the number of multi-generational portraits I have been blessed to do is mind-blowing to me. As a family photographer, I love that so many families want family photos with grandparents. Sometimes also with cousins, Aunts, Uncles and mo

First Birthday Photos in the park
The fact that I love capturing Maternity Photos and Newborn Photography often means, I am lucky enough to see this little lives grow and capture a First Birthday photoshoot. This momma was brand new to me, but her local photographer was out on Maternity leave, so she reached out about a First Birthday photoshoot. She had a vision in mind and after looking at her ideas, I knew which park was perfect to capture all the sweetness of her little girl. And sweetness she was. So man

Family Photos at one of Jacksonville's Best Parks
October through mid December is what my fellow photographers like to call, "Family Portrait Season". Basically, tax season for photographers. This is our busiest time of year as it is when most families want their annual family photos here in Jacksonville and St Augustine, FL. As crazy as it can get I do love it all! But, I gotta love those clients that book their sessions right before the busy season too. Because without them I wouldn't be able to photograph so many families

Sunrise. Early, but has never not been worth it. Sunrise with the St Augustine Beach pier, even better.
