It's no secret living on the east coast, we have some beautiful beach sunrises. As a sunrise beach family photographer in Jacksonville and St Augustine, Florida sunrise family photoshoots have become a favorite of mine even though I am not a morning person. On this particular morning the sunrise was absolutely beautiful casting a golden glow over Vilano Beach. Even though a bit chilly, we were able to capture some beautiful family photos for this family visiting the area from

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

It's finally warming up!! I am SO excited to be back at the beach for family photoshoots. The light, the sound of the waves, all of it is perfection for a Maternity shoot or Family photoshoot. Vilano Beach, Florida is one of my favorite beaches for a photoshoot. As a family photographer I see many amazing places, but this particular beach just gives so many different backgrounds to use and make beautiful images. So, make your Wednesday better with some of my favorite family p

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

I am SOOOO far behind on blogging, but now that things are slowing down from the fall busy season I am trying to catch up. This wonderful family has met me 3 years in row at different locations around Jacksonville and have never not been anything but laughter and play. This beach session turned out SO gorgeously and as a family photographer in Jacksonville Florida, it makes me heart so happy. So, take a moment and see a few of my favorites from these fun family photos in Pont

When I am lucky enough to do a newborn photoshoot I know that I may not be able to capture that sweet baby again for their first birthday. So whenever a family asks me to do first birthday photos along with their family photography session it makes me ecstatic! We beat the rain, hit the beach and this first birthday photographer was able to capture adorable first birthday photos for this sweet baby girl and her family. So, make your day better with a few favorites from this F

Spending many summer mornings getting up early to watch the sunrise on the beach. As a family photographer photographing families is one of the many things I love about my job. Combining a beautiful sunrise with a family photoshoot always makes for magic. Having one of my Watch Me Grow families choose this for their milestone session makes it even better. Baby rolls, a beach breeze, beautiful sunrises a few of my favorite things. So, make your day better and keep scrolling to

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

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

It's no secret I am a very happy family photographer when clients come back to me to capture their milestones. I first met this family over 6 months ago for a super sweet newborn session welcoming their 3rd baby girl...now that same sweet babe is sitting smiling, laughing and LOVIGN her big sisters. They even took me to a new park I have never been to in the area and I kinda loved the access to the water and all the green space! Exploring, picking flowers, running, and makin

Sunrise. Early, but has never not been worth it. Sunrise with the St Augustine Beach pier, even better. I met up with this family while they were vacationing in St Augustine Beach and the sunrise did not disappoint. With two kids two and under we did all the things to capture the love of this family and the details of this time. I definitely LOVED how it turned out. Keep on scrolling to see a few of my favorites! To find our more information on scheduling your own sunrise bea

Florida is a vacation destination for many families and I LOVE when they also want to grab some family photos. Multiple generations, cousins, all the love always makes for a wonderful session. This family relaxed and just had fun and it turned out perfectly! I can't believe summer is winding down (not temperature wise, I mean, I live in Florida) and beach sessions will slowly become less and less, but I am loving them while I can! To see more of my beach family photography wo

Who can remember their great-grandparents? Were you lucky enough to know them? What about photos with them? Yeah, I don't think there are any photos of myself with my great-grandmother (or my great-great-grandmother who was still alive when I was born which is crazy). My girls? I have photos with almost all of their great-grandparents. Though, now only two remain, I still strive to capture moments and memories for them. This family had four generations at their session. Even

It's no secret I LOVE sunrise beach photos. As a family photographer I have favorite locations for various times of day and the beach is truly great both sunrise and sunset BUT the sunrise is just something amazing. Give me a super sweet family in town on vacation and a couple adorable little cousins and you have the makings for a family photoshoot that's gorgeous! To see all the sweetness of this family photography Vilano Beach and beauty keep on scrolling. Have an amazing w

As a family photographer, new clients are always sent a "client questionnaire" which gives me some basic information about them and their family, BUT also the opportunity to give me more. To tell me WHY they are doing the photoshoot. Sometimes, that "Why" gets me. Well, a lot of times it gets me. This family's "Why" was one that made me SO happy they wanted to do the photos while on their family vacation. Made me constantly mentally check if I got all the photos they may want

So, do you think a stormy day will kill your beach photos? What if I tell you, that if it's not raining that storm could actually make your photos AMAZING? Like, an insane shelf cloud passing north of you on the beach making for some gorgeous shots behind you. Yeah, it's true. This beautiful large vacation beach family photography session will show just that. When I saw the cloud I knew it would be gorgeous and this fun family just loved each other, laughed and thanked God th

I hope my fellow Floridians know how lucky we are to have so many gorgeous beaches. People actually travel to our beaches and want their photos there. And we can visit every weekend if we so choose. Maybe more. This wonderful family vacationed near Palm Coast Florida and asked me for some family photography while they were there. The evening, the sky everything turned out GORGEOUS for them. Like, I seriously love this session. Everything came together to make it absolutely go

I'm sure you have noticed the increase in multi-generational family photos around here and if you're like me, you think it's awesome. This beautiful family first contacted me last year about my FIRST EVER outdoor newborn session (which I LOVED). This year, they came back to town and brought their family! So much cuteness and another beautiful sunrise for a beach family photographer like me. Which is about all you can hope for. I absolutely love being a family photographer in

Celebrating a first birthday is a major milestone in any family. Your baby changes so much that first year, as do we as parents and it is wonderful to see and celebrate that. Being able to have returning families come back to me for these special First Birthday Photography portraits makes me so happy. As a family photographer I often meet families after their little one is one year old. Sometimes, I meet families to capture Maternity Portraits or Newborn Photography, then nev

Having families return to me year after year for their family photos is amazing. Having them return baby after baby for Maternity Photography and Newborn Photography is also amazing. But when you do two Watch Me Grow plans from Maternity Photos through 1st Birthday Photography THEN they return for family photography with a set of grandparents included is basically the best thing ever. Capturing so many family photos through their baby's first year. Wanting to capture a photo
