Frequently asked questions

What Jacksonville locations do you recommend for our family photoshoot?

Do you live near the beach or spend a lot of time there? Do you enjoy watching your family play along the shoreline? I LOVE taking photos at the beach or at a park full of greenery! Here are my favorite beaches and parks for family photos in Jacksonville:

How can our family plan our outfits so we can look good in our photos?

Planning a family photoshoot can feel like a whirlwind. Between coordinating nap times, snacks, and getting everyone dressed, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. But let me just say: it’s always worth it. These photos are a legacy, a time capsule of your real, beautiful and sometimes chaotic - life.  Here are some outfit ideas your whole family will love wearing and you can be sure the pictures will be perfectly coordinated.

What do we get in our Jacksonville photoshoot package and how soon will we have our photos?

I deliver your photos very quickly! My turnaround time is 1-2 weeks.


I have two pricing options for all occasions:


Each Petite photo session ($275) includes:

  • 30 minute photo session
  • 10 digital images
  • Private, online viewing gallery

Will you help us with direction & posing so we can look good & have fun during the photoshoot?

Of course! I pride myself on knowing exactly what to say when your little ones are being especially wild that day. I will pose and direct you individually, as a couple, as a family of 2,3,4,5 or more! I am here to guide and direct you because I do not expect anyone to be naturally good at being amazing models for a photoshoot. We will do a mix of serious and dreamy & wild and playful because I believe your family heirloom wall can use both looks!
