Your Family photo session can take place in an outdoor location or even in the comfort of your home. If you need to update your annual family holiday card or you are visiting Orlando with extended family, a photo session is a wonderful way to capture those cherished memories. Orlando offers a variety of picturesque locations, from the scenic parks and vibrant downtown areas to the iconic attractions, providing the perfect backdrop for your family photos.

I understand that the thought of a family photo session can sometimes feel daunting. Especially if you have young children or camera-shy family members. That’s why I strive to make the experience as easy and relaxed as possible. I focus on capturing your family with a mix of posed photos and candid. I especially love those in-between moments that truly reflect your personalities and connections. My goal is to help you feel at ease and natural in front of the camera. I want to be sure your genuine smiles and laughter to shine through.

The process

During our session, I’ll guide you through poses and prompts that encourage interaction and fun, resulting in images that are both beautiful and authentic. Whether we’re capturing the joy of a family reunion, the excitement of a vacation, or simply the everyday moments that make your family unique, I aim to create timeless photos that you’ll treasure for years to come.

Family session pricing begins at $325

Jessica did a fabulous job with our family photos. She kept the kids engaged and made it a low pressure situation. I was sure the images would be limited because the baby cried a bit but she managed to catch so many wonderful moments! We are really pleased with her communication before the session, involvement during the session, and the quality of the images! Thank you again!

Jessica was fantastic to work with. She was friendly and has great ideas for places to take photos! Her work exceeded expectations and will definitely recommend her to anyone I know for their photography needs.

FAQ

What should we wear for family photos?

Having everyone wear the same thing can look outdated. A good approach is to go with neutrals and add a pop of color. Don’t be afraid to mix patterns and textures. Accessories are great too! Avoid clothes with text or large logos. Make sure everyone is comfortable. If baby is wearing itchy clothes or uncomfortable shoes, he may be fussy the whole time. Most importantly, wear something you like and feel good wearing!

Where do family photoshoots take place?

I am an Orlando photographer with most of my sessions taking place in the beautiful areas of downtown Orlando and Winter Park. For families on vacation, I’m happy to travel to other locations in Central Florida and the greater Orlando area, including Disney (Kissimmee, Lake Buena Vista), Windermere, Celebration, Lake Nona, Winter Garden, and Doctor Phillips. I also do in-home photo sessions!

How do I book my family photo session?
