Looking for a photographer for Fall or holiday mini sessions near Ponte Vedra, Jacksonville, or St. Augustine? I specialize in creating warm, natural, and connected images that are perfect for holiday cards, seasonal family updates, and meaningful keepsakes. My limited-edition mini sessions offer a quick, fun way to get professional photos without committing to a full-length session. Whether you want a cozy Fall vibe, a festive holiday look, or just updated family portraits, I’ll help you feel comfortable and make the most of our time together and you will walk away with photos you’ll love for years to come.

hristmas in Florida may look a little different, and honestly, that’s part of the fun.

Instead of snow boots, mittens and freezing temperatures, we have bare feet, sandy beaches and some of the prettiest fall sunsets of the year. My Beach Snowman Holiday Mini Sessions put a Florida spin on traditional Christmas photos and give kids something fun to actually do during their session.

Every year, families start planning their holiday photos and for many, that means wrangling kids into matching outfits, driving to a location, and hoping everyone cooperates for that one “perfect” shot.

I offer holiday mini sessions each year in the Fall. I always include one session in the lineup that is holiday neutral. This year’s non holiday themed set was my boho harvest arch session. My husband hand crafted a wooden arch for me and it was decorated with pampas grass and florals. I used lots of textured props for this set to give it a very earthy and bohemian look. Wardrobe for this session was key for creating a cohesive aesthetic, so I sent a wardrobe guide to my clients with a color palette and outfit suggestions from vendors like Baltic Born, Joyfolie, Zara and H&M. My clients completely slayed their wardrobe choices and I just love each and every one of the sessions from this day.

It has been a busy Fall season for me and I have been photographing many beautiful families for their Fall and holiday photos. I am loving every single one of these sessions. It has been a blast! One of my favorite locations to photograph families is at the tree farm. I schedule a day of mini sessions at the farm annually and the captures from this location are always my favorite photos from the season. This location is not one a perfect and gorgeous backdrop, but there is something about the tree farm that facilitates natural connection and emotion within a family. The photos have a timeless look and can be used for holiday cards and hang on your walls year round.

I spent the day last week photographing many sweet families at a tree farm out east. My last session of the day took place during Golden Hour, which is my absolute favorite time of day to capture family images. The light was simply spectacular that night and I was able to capture some gorgeous images.

Grandparents are an integral part of your children’s life. For most children, the bond between grandparent and grandchild is strong and like no other. The love a grandparent has for a grandchild is unparalleled and it is unbiased. It is so very important to capture that bond and preserve those memories for your children. An extended family session is the perfect way to do so because you get images that capture the connection between your parents and your children.

I recently photographed this sweet group on Veteran’s Day. It was an unseasonably warm day and I was thankful for it because the days preceding this session were bitterly cold. Mom chose a location close to her home and I was happy to oblige her because I absolutely love to photograph families in new and unique locations.

n the age of social media, it seems tempting to skip out on sending out holiday cards. I hope the holiday card tradition never comes to an end. I am not saying this because I am a photographer, but because I truly love receiving holiday cards each year. To me, receiving a card from a family member or friend is a gesture of love, warmth, and thoughtfulness. A post on Facebook can never replicate the actual feeling of holding a card in your hand. Just like the Christmas tree, the holiday card is a staple of holiday decor. I love seeing the way families have grown and evolved from year to year and I display the cards right in my living room area and we all love to look at them. I know for some, sending out the holiday card can be a bothersome task, but I am here to give you some tips to perhaps alleviate some of the stress.

I have been busy over the last few weeks photographing children and families outdoors in this gorgeous New York Fall weather.   I am having so much fun meeting new families and catching up with clients from last year.  The weather has been absolutely perfect!   

I have finally had a few moments to put together my November mini session schedule.   This year’s indoor set is a beautiful and classic rustic set. The rustic session is designed to resemble a log cabin and is decorated with vintage and rustic accents. I have added stands of globe lights to give the set a unique look. Children will also get to cuddle up beneath a holiday blanket and sip on some hot cocoa in the “cabin.”

September is only a week away and that means it is time for my annual holiday mini sessions. I recently announced this year's family campfire sessions and now it is time for me to reveal this year's beach holiday session. I am thrilled to finally be able to share the details of this year's holiday theme and I think you are all going to love it as much as I do.  

Last year, we built a sand snowman together on the beach and this year, I invite your child to set sail with me into the holiday season with my nautical themed holiday session. Your child will board my handmade driftwood sailboat, which will be decorated with subtle holiday decorations and a strand of globe lights.  The boat will be placed along the shoreline to give the appearance that it is about to set sail.  Your child will even be able to hoist the sail of the boat!  

I am excited to announce the first of my series of holiday sessions for the 2018 season.  Not only am I offering a beach holiday session, but for the first time ever, I am offering a  family mini session. Although this session works for just children, I always encourage my clients to get into the frame with their children and this session is the perfect opportunity to get some fun family images.  

The campfire holiday session is not only unique, but it will be an interactive and fun experience for everyone. As a family photographer, my goal is to always provide you with an experience that allows you to connect and have fun with your children.  I chose this particular theme because a camping expedition provides the perfect opportunity for parents to have uninterrupted and quality bonding time with their children.  

The vintage bed session is a great choice for children of all ages.  It has a classic and timeless look and features a beautiful authentic antique Jenny Lind bed, Anthropologie style bedding, and rustic holiday decor.  

This is an adorable set with a vintage cupboard and vintage baking accessories for classic and timeless holiday photos.  The set is designed to give the appearance that children are baking their favorite holiday cookies and allows.

Nothing says it is Christmas time, like the classic children's story, The Polar Express.   This season, I am excited to be able to offer a truly classic photo experience for your children.   On November 10th,  join me for the Vintage Train Children's Mini Session.  I recently visited the historic location with my daughters and their cousins.  Although I wasn't able to do a full session while I was there, I did sneak in a quick picture of my niece and nephew just to give you an idea of what the train looks like.
