One of the most common reasons families book an extended family session is because everyone is finally together.

Whether you're staying at a beach house in Ponte Vedra, visiting Jacksonville Beach, or spending a week exploring historic St. Augustine, a family vacation is often the only time grandparents, siblings, cousins, and grandchildren are all in the same place.

When you're planning an extended family photo session, choosing the right location is just as important as choosing the right photographer.

With grandparents, young children, and multiple families all coming together, you need a location that's beautiful, easy to navigate, and spacious enough for everyone to relax. While St. Augustine has no shortage of gorgeous backdrops, the Fort is one of the locations I recommend most often for larger groups.

If you have been searching for a Jacksonville Beach extended family photographer who can wrangle three generations, a handful of kids, and one scene-stealing toddler all at the same time, you have come to the right place. This session with the G. family is one of those mornings that reminds me exactly why I do this work, and I cannot wait to share it with you.
