What to Expect from Your Family Photo Session
My family photography sessions are relaxed, and provide outdoor portrait and documentary style experiences that are designed for families of all sizes along the Florida Treasure Coast area. I love stories and specialize in capturing authentic, unposed interactions. However, I understand the need for classic portraits and will make sure to provide you with a fully edited gallery within two weeks of your session. Whether you book a portrait session that celebrates a milestone or a seasonal mini-session, my goal is to capture your family's genuine connection.
Embrace the Chaos
Kids may create chaos. There, I said it. If you are coming into this session expecting your children to sit perfectly still and keep their hair from getting a little bit messy, then you are coming into this session stressed. That stress will show in the photos, but more importantly, that stress takes away from this fun moment with your family.
I love family photos and would love nothing more than to work with you and your family to create a special moment and capture memories that will last a lifetime.
Duration: Most sessions last 30 to 45 minutes.
Location: While flexible, I prefer the following Fort Pierce locations:
- Fort Pierce Inlet State Park ($6 fee per car)
- Pepper Park Beach
- Indian Hills Recreation Area
- Museum Pointe Park
- White City Park
HOW TO PREPARE IN 3 SIMPLE STEPS

HOW TO PREPARE IN 3 SIMPLE STEPS
#1 Coordinate, Don't Match
Choose a cohesive color palette (like earthy tones or soft pastels) rather than everyone wearing identical outfits.
#2 Fed & Rested Wins
Consider your child's nap times when planning your schedule and ensure little ones have a snack right before we shoot.
#3 Bring the Comforts
Feel free to bring a favorite toy, a neutral-colored blanket, or even a extra change of clothes just in case.
"We booked a family photo session with JJ, and couldn’t have been more pleased with his work! From start to finish his communication was great. Our grandson had a bit of a meltdown as we began the photo session, and JJ was understanding and used that time to take individual mini shoots with our granddaughters which they LOVED. JJ is very professional and kind, his work is outstanding, and we hope to have the chance to work with him again!"
