A very common question I am often asked by clients is: “When’s the best time to book our photos?”

Living in Florida means we don’t get the traditional four seasons the way other places do. However, that doesn’t mean timing doesn’t matter. Light, weather, and even the way your family feels during certain times of year can all play a role in determining when you should schedule your annual family photo session.

Here’s a breakdown of what each season looks like for family sessions in Ponte Vedra, Nocatee, Jacksonville, and St. Augustine.

This year, I’m thrilled to offer Vintage Holiday Mini Sessions in Nocatee, Florida, designed to capture the warmth, charm, and magic of the season.

What Makes This Session Special
These mini sessions are filled with vintage charm. Beautiful handmade afghan blankets and quilts hang on a rustic clothesline, creating a cozy and picturesque backdrop for your family photos. Each session is styled with vintage-inspired props and wardrobe, giving your photos a timeless, nostalgic feel that you’ll treasure for years to come.

When people think about family photos on the beach, they often imagine peak summer. But in Florida, Summer doesn’t end on Labor Day and September just might be the best-kept secret for beach sessions.

Fall in Florida looks a little different than it does up north. We may not get golden leaves and cool sweater weather, but we do have warm sunshine, soft coastal breezes, lush greens, and historic charm. When planning outfits for your fall family photos, the key is to dress for the location while keeping comfort, movement, and timeless tones in mind.

Here are my favorite outfit tips for three of the most popular fall photo session spots in Ponte Vedra, Jacksonville, and St. Augustine.

As a Ponte Vedra and Jacksonville family photographer, one of the questions I hear most often is: “What’s the difference between a mini session and a full session?” At first glance, it may seem like the only difference is time, but there’s actually much more to it.

Here’s a clear breakdown to help you decide which type of session makes the most sense for your family photos in Ponte Vedra, Jacksonville, Nocatee, or St. Augustine.

If you missed that tiny window for newborn photos in the first few weeks, take a deep breath — you haven’t missed a thing. In fact, scheduling your baby’s photo session around 8–12 weeks old comes with beautiful benefits — especially if you're planning a relaxed, in-home session.

If you're visiting historic St. Augustine, Florida with your family, you're already creating unforgettable memories—from walking the cobblestone streets to exploring centuries-old forts. This type of trip deserves to be documented with more than just a few selfies and iPhone snapshots?

There’s something incredibly special about being pregnant and the season of waiting. This time is when your baby is growing, your family is changing, and your heart is already overflowing with love.

Whether you’re announcing your pregnancy to the world or documenting the final stretch before baby arrives, a maternity photo session is about more than just a bump. It’s about celebrating this beautiful, in-between chapter — and preserving the emotions that come with it.

Welcoming a new baby into your home is one of life’s most beautiful moments — and capturing it shouldn’t feel staged.

That’s why I offer prop-free, in-home newborn sessions that focus on real connection, natural light, and the tender little details that make this season so fleeting and special.

When families first inquire about booking beach family photos with me, one of the most common questions I get is: “Should we do sunrise or sunset?” While both offer beautiful light, here in Ponte Vedra Beach during the Summer, sunrise is hands-down the better choice—and here’s why.

Family portraits are a timeless way to capture the love, joy, and togetherness of your family, but coordinating a photo session for a large family can be a bit tricky. With multiple people, varying schedules, and different clothing styles, it can quickly feel like a daunting task. But fear not! With a little preparation and organization, you can create stunning portraits that reflect your family’s unique dynamics.

If you’re planning a family vacation in Florida’s oldest city — or if you’re lucky enough to call this beautiful place home — Castillo de San Marcos (aka the Fort) is one of the best places in St. Augustine for family photos that feel timeless, natural, and full of heart.

Moms are almost always behind the camera. They’re the ones capturing the milestones, the everyday magic, the messy moments—and too often, they’re not in the photos themselves. This Mother’s Day, let’s change that.

If you're looking for a unique and picturesque setting for your next family photo session, look no further than historic downtown St. Augustine. As a photographer, I’m always scouting for locations that offer a blend of beauty, character, and versatility—and St. Augustine checks every box. Here's why this timeless city is one of my favorite spots for capturing unforgettable family memories:

Okay, real talk—when was the last time you and your person had really good photos together? Not blurry selfies or the random vacation pic where one of you is half-blinking. We’re talking about dreamy, golden-hour photos that actually feel like you.

If you've been thinking about booking a couples photoshoot (or even if you haven’t yet!), here’s your sign. Whether you're celebrating a milestone or just want to do something fun together, here’s why every couple—yes, even you two—should totally book a shoot.

To the mom who’s always behind the camera instead of in front of it… I see you.

I see the way you capture every little smile, every milestone, every silly moment. You’re the keeper of memories, the one making sure your family’s story is remembered — but somehow, you’re rarely in the photos yourself.

Family photos are a timeless way to capture moments, preserve memories, and create lasting connections with your loved ones. Yet, many people hesitate to book a session due to a few common myths that simply aren’t true. Let’s take a moment to debunk those myths and clear the way for you to finally get the family photos you’ve always wanted!
