St Augustine Family Photos

This season of life is fleeting, from quiet snuggles to giggles and chaos. These sessions focus on connection, emotion, and your family’s personality..no stress, no perfection, just you as you are.

Kids grow up fast. These images preserve the love, laughter, and everyday magic so you can step back and feel it all again for years to come. Investing in a St Augustine family photo session isn’t just about pictures—it’s about capturing the feeling of right now, and I’d be honored to help you do that.

Meet Teresa

St Augustine Family Photographer

I’m a mom too, which means I understand the beautiful chaos of this season of life. The energy, the closeness, the moments that don’t always go as planned—but end up meaning the most.

That understanding guides the way I photograph St Augustine families: calmly, thoughtfully, and with space for real connection to unfold.

 Family Session Faqs

  • The wardrobe is an essential part of having polished-looking portraits and I am here to help you with that. I provide wardrobe assistance for each session. This includes a wardrobe guide with the do’s and dont’s to styling your session. I also provide my clients with exclusive access to Style & Select, which is an online database run by photographers. You can shop for and coordinate your entire family’s wardrobe with ease through this site. I also have a client closet with dresses available on loan to moms. I am always available as a sounding board to provide input to help you finalize your choices.

  • I have children and I get this, but do not stress. My sessions are active and I use lots of prompts. I have lots of tricks up my sleeve to engage children. Just focus on staying in the moment and embracing the beauty of this stage in parenting. I promise you will love the images.

  • All packages listed are for immediate family members only. If you wish to include extended family members, please contact me for the pricing. Your session will require extra session time and editing time, which is why there is an additional fee.

  • As these are not fully processed or artistically enhanced images, I do not release Raw and unedited images. The final gallery contains the best images from your collection.

  • I hand edit each and very image form your gallery. I begin with color correction and then enhancement of light, sky and other details. I then edit every individual photo in Photoshop where I make further artistic enhancements and I also smooth skin, brighten eyes and remove stray hairs.

  • Both sunrise and sunset can be beautiful times for family photos, but they offer very different experiences — especially here in Florida.

    Sunset sessions have warm, golden light, but they also come with more unpredictability during certain times of year. In the spring and summer months, afternoon heat and pop-up thunderstorms are common, which can lead to last-minute weather changes. Beaches and popular locations also tend to be busier in the evenings, which can add extra distractions.

    Sunrise sessions are often a favorite, particularly during Florida’s warmer seasons. The light is soft and even, temperatures are cooler, and the weather is typically more stable earlier in the day. Locations are quiet and peaceful, kids are usually well-rested, and the overall experience feels slower and more relaxed.

    If you’re hoping for a calm, unhurried session — or want to minimize weather concerns during storm season — sunrise is often the best option. I’m always happy to talk through timing and help you choose what will work best for your family.

  • Rain is always a possibility in North. astern Florida. I leave room in my calendar for the possibility of rain. If it rains, we will reschedule your St Augustine portrait session to the next available date. I do not reschedule due to cloudy weather. In fact, cloudy days provide perfect lighting for sessions.

  • You are not obligated to print through me, but I highly recommend using a reputable printer. I set the printing cost low to encourage clients to print through the professional lab. I can’t guarantee the quality of prints printed through an outside lab, as I am not calibrated nor affiliated with those labs. I also offer custom albums and print packages. Just message me for more info.

  • You will receive an online gallery link with all your photos within 2 weeks after your session time. You can download your photos from the gallery. The gallery allows you to share with family and also provides you with access to professional printing services.

  • Mini sessions are offered during the Fall for the holidays and typically involve sets, props and most of my locations require permits and time limitations, thus limiting my flexibility.

    These sessions are 15-20 minutes in length and are appointment-based.  Multiple families are photographed each day.  I make every effort to capture your child in the allotted time, but, for mini sessions, I am forced to work within the constraints of your appointment time.

    Although I don’t offer mini sessions throughout the remainder of the year, I often run promotions for regular sessions that are posted through my newsletter . Those spots tend to book up quickly.  Message me if you would like to be added to either of those groups. 

  • Your gallery will remain active for 60 days and I archive images for 90 days as a courtesy. Please download and backup your images.

what Clients are saying about

ST Augustine Family Photographer

Who would be willing and brave enough to photograph an extended family of 12 that included parents, adult children and their spouses, plus a 6 yo, 2 1/2 yo twins, and a 2 yo? And 2 days before Christmas, on the beach as the tide rolled in and the sun rose?! Teresa was wonderful to work with: creative, patient, and very professional. Thank you again!

— Susan R.

I was blown away by Teresa’s creativity, patience, and professionalism. She was able to capture natural and joyful pictures...

Not only did Teresa have a tremendous knowledge about photography techniques, she was extremely kind. She got my children to loosen up!

— Jackie K.

Cannot say enough wonderful things about Teresa! These family photos are better than we could have imagined, and we will definitely cherish these forever. She was so patient with my daughter and really brought her out of her shell, getting us so many great pictures in a short amount of time! 

— Michael and Nikki A.

Preserving Your Images Beyond the Screen

Although your St Augustine family session fee includes a full gallery of digital images, you’ll also have access to a professional print lab where you can order heirloom-quality prints and artwork directly from your gallery.

From framed wall art to albums and fine art prints, everything is carefully produced to last for generations. If you’d like guidance choosing sizes, layouts, or products, I’m always happy to help — either through email or a quick consult.

Nothing is required to purchase. This option simply gives you an easy way to turn your images into tangible pieces for your home.

Extended Family Photography

For Big Groups and the Moments that Matter the Most

Extended family sessions in St Augustine are perfect for the moments when everyone is finally in one place — grandparents, grown kids, cousins, and all the in-between connections that don’t happen often enough.

These sessions are thoughtfully planned and gently guided so they feel organized without feeling stiff. I’ll help group combinations flow naturally while leaving room for laughter, movement, and the relationships that matter most.

Whether you’re gathering for a vacation, milestone, or reunion, this is a meaningful way to document this season together.

“I can't say enough about how amazing Teresa is! We did a family photo session for 12 people, including three 2 year olds and a 6 year old. She provided so much help when it came to styling everyone to make sure we all looked cohesive….

On the day of the photo shoot, I was so impressed with her. She was so calm and patient and we never felt rushed. You can tell she has experience with kids and she had many tricks to make it fun for them. She was great at directing everyone in the photos and worked quickly to get all the shots we wanted.
