Being a downtown St. Augustine family photographer is such a dream. So many beautiful locations and gorgeous light! I took a couple weeks away from the blog while I was buried under some home improvement projects (can’t wait to share the before and afters here!) and I’m glad to be back today, posting this session from last year. There’s a …
Children’s Photographer St. Augustine Once in a while, I have the opportunity to spend an entire session on just one or two children. You guys, it’s icing on the cake. It’s recess. It’s Oprah’s favorite things. For this child’s portrait session, we decided to shoot right in my St. Augustine beach neighborhood. Plenty of oak trees, a pond with a wooden …
Coastal family photography is extra special during the summer, but we’re lucky in Florida to have temperate coastal areas available for portraits most of the year. This session with a young family on Cocoa Beach was full of sweet memories. Even with the challenges that come with young children, there are always happy moments and opportunities to create those moments. …
I’ve had the pleasure this summer of providing vacation family photography to several families visiting both St. Augustine and Melbourne. I thought I’d combine two of those shoots in this post, one of them in St. Augustine Beach and the other in Melbourne Beach. During the session in Melbourne, I also captured a few quick senior portraits for one of …
I have lots of summer beach sessions to get up on the blog, but thought I’d take a minute today to include this downtown St. Augustine family photography from last Fall. We’re getting closer to that time of year and I wanted to be sure I have this example up as my clients start thinking about location options, clothing ideas, …
I had a blast with this extended family session in Crescent Beach a couple weeks ago. On vacation here in St. Augustine, they were such a fun and easy group with lots of personality! The shades of blue and white looked so nice with the water. I think they’ll treasure these memories for a long time. u See more …
This family beach photography session in Cocoa Beach recently was such a sweet time. There were so many moments while the kids played and explored that I had the opportunity to capture. It’s hard to believe that I was shooting a wedding for this couple (not that long ago!) and now there is a family of FIVE. The main occasion …
I had the pleasure of providing St. Augustine family photography at the Fort (Castillo de San Marcos) a couple weeks ago, with a very sweet friend of mine and her children. Jen is also a photographer in the Tampa area, so be sure to look her up if you’re looking for a photographer over there! We were actually rained out …
Family photography downtown St. Augustine is definitely a win. One of my favorite sessions from last year that I’d love to get up here on the blog is this family shoot captured in one of our beautiful historic St. Augustine homes. It helps that the family is SO EASY to work with, so trusting, and so beautiful! I have a …
You guys know how much I love family portraits at home right? Whether it’s your home or a grandparent’s home or the family vacation home, the critical ingredient is that personal touch we get in such a comfortable and memorable environment. I wish I had family pictures from our first home in Clearwater! We have snapshots here and there, thank …
This family beach portrait session became a new favorite of mine as I looked over the images and remembered how gorgeous the sky looked that night and how the seaweed (thankfully fresh-not-stinky) added even more color and texture to the landscape. Whenever possible, capture your family beach portraits during the last 30 minutes of daylight and hope for some clouds …
I shot this family photography session in downtown St. Augustine recently. The H family was here for a short vacation getaway and decided to schedule professional photography during their trip. We had a beautiful night and these kiddos were so adorable! Mom is also a photographer, which is always a huge compliment (and responsibility!) when a fellow photographer schedules an …
Family vacation photography is a great way to capture memories while you’re all together in one place, without a lot of scheduling problems, and with the added bonus of remembering this special occasion! I have more and more families contacting me as they gather together in St. Augustine. First of all, I’m so impressed by extended families who manage to …
I had the pleasure of photographing this Class of 2018 graduating senior a couple weeks ago on St. Augustine Beach. Senior portraits are so fun and it’s so important to capture these memories – not only of the completion of high school but of this incredible season of life, full of promise and new beginnings! Also, congratulations to this senior and …
I photographed this adorable family just last week on the beach in Cocoa Beach. It feels like not long ago I was capturing this big sister as a newborn and now POOF everyone is growing up. We had gorgeous spring weather and waited until the very last part of the day in order to have beautiful skies (and less heat!) …
I photographed this family portrait session in downtown St. Augustine using the historic buildings and streets as our backdrop. Downtown St. Augustine is full of gorgeous locations for family photography, if you don’t mind taking a little stroll. I usually suggest that families with children under 5 choose a location that we can stay put in and have more freedom/space …
I love capturing memories as a St. Augustine family photographer! I’m skipping all around on the blog these days – which is actually super fun and a good exercise for my very type A brain! This session was one of my favorites photographed in St. Augustine during the holidays this past year. We had perfect weather, and in St. Augustine …
I’m living up to my promise to myself and getting the blog caught up! Well, mostly caught up, I won’t be able to post every single shoot I’ve left out in the past year or so but I’m going to do my best to cover a bunch of them. For personal reasons, I just like to have a nice archive, like …
I think I confessed recently that there was a time, years ago, that I didn’t enjoy extended family sessions very much. I might have definitely avoided them. I think it was for two reasons. First, the flow is different than a shoot with one family. We spend more time on posed groups and less time on individuals, candid/creative time, etc. …
I love photographing families as they grow through the years! Little Austin had his first birthday so we met on the beach to photograph this special milestone. These sweet brothers are growing up so fast
