Jacksonville Family Photographer Capturing Meaningful Moments & Natural Connection

Heartfelt Moments for Your Home and Your Heart

The days with little ones move quickly. One moment they're curled up in your arms, and the next they're walking or running straight into the next stage. Even as kids grow, time continues to move just as fast. Family Sessions are about slowing down long enough to remember what this season felt like, whether you're chasing toddlers, or simply updating photos as your family changes 

These sessions are designed to document your family exactly as you are right now. Not perfectly posed or overly styled, just connected, present, and together. With little ones of my own, I know how rare it can be to have photos that include everyone, especially moms. You deserve to be in the frame, loving on your kids, not standing behind the camera. 

Family sessions are fully customized to fit your vision and your people. Whether that looks like a walk along the shoreline, time spent outdoors at a favorite spit, or gathering together at home, we'll choose a setting that feels natural to you. My goal is simple, to create images that reflect your family honestly and preserve this chapter for the years ahead.

An experience
designed for your family

we're not sure where to take photos. can you help us choose a location?

Absolutely. Once your session is booked, we'll talk through location options together and choose a setting that fits your family best. Whether you're drawn to something coastal, outdoorsy, or closer to home, I'll guide you toward a spot that feels natural and complements the season you're in. 

We're a little awkward and camera-shy. will you help us know what to do?

Yes, yes, yes! Consider me your guide, and honestly, my major is in talking. I'll give you direction the entire time so you never feel stuck and awkward, and I'll guide you through posing in a way that feels natural and easy. You can show up as yourselves, and I'll take care of the rest.

We have a dog. Can they be included in our session?

Of course. Your pup is part of the family. If you plan to include your dog, just let me know when booking so I can help prepare you and suggest dog-friendly locations. I'll also share a few tips to help the session run smoothly for everyone. 

How many photos will we receive?

The exact number of images varies from session to session, but each collection includes a guaranteed minimum. The more time we have together, the more moments I'm able to capture. I tend to over-deliver, so the hardest part is usually choosing favorites.

When should we book our family session

My calendar fills quickly, especially during peak seasons. To ensure availability, I recommend reaching out as soon as you have a general timeframe in mind. Booking early gives us plenty of flexibility and helps secure the date that works best for your family.
