Family Photography That Feels Like You

We're Rob and Jill—a husband-and-wife photography team in St. Augustine, Florida. Rob sees light and composition. Jill reads the room and knows when your toddler needs a two-minute chase break. After 2,500+ sessions, we've figured out how to make people forget we're even there.

Our style is timeless and relaxed—natural light, genuine connections, guided poses mixed with spontaneous ones. Kids can run, teenagers can roll their eyes, grandparents can sit when they need to. We embrace the chaos because that's what makes the best photos.

Beach Family Photography in St. Augustine

Beach sessions are our most requested booking. We photograph at St. Augustine Beach, Vilano Beach, Anastasia State Park, and Crescent Beach — we pick the right spot based on crowds, tide, and your preferences.

Golden hour—the 1-2 hours before sunset—gives the best light for beach family photos. Soft sun, warm tones, and no squinting. What to expect: sand, wind, kids running toward the water, and gorgeous results. We get the posed shots you need and the candid scenes you'll treasure.

Visiting on vacation? We work around your schedule and can meet you at your rental, hotel, or the nearest beach access. Many families book us as part of their St. Augustine trip.

Downtown & Historic Spots

Not a beach crowd? Downtown St. Augustine offers cobblestone streets, Spanish architecture, and shaded courtyards. We love the Lightner Museum, Flagler College, and Aviles Street. Morning light works best — we beat the crowds and the heat.

Extended Family & Multi-Generation Sessions

Reunions, grandparents visiting, milestone celebrations—getting everyone in one frame, including the person who usually holds the camera.

We've worked with groups of 30+ and know how to organize large crowds without losing natural expressions. We get the full group, then break into smaller groupings: grandparents with grandkids, siblings, cousins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about family photography

Most shoots run 60-90 minutes, giving us plenty of time for different groupings and outfit changes if desired. Extended groups may run longer depending on size.

Kids are unpredictable—that's part of what makes them wonderful. We embrace the chaos and know how to work with wiggly toddlers and reluctant teenagers. Some of our best work comes from unscripted scenes. Relax and let them be kids.

Golden hour—the 1-2 hours before sunset—gives us the finest light. The sun is soft, the shadows are flattering, and the colors are gorgeous. We'll recommend exact timing based on the season.

For peak season (March-May and October-November), we recommend booking 3-4 weeks ahead. Mini shoots and holiday dates fill quickly—join our email list for early access. For off-peak times, we can often accommodate shorter notice.

Absolutely. If you're staying in a beach house or Airbnb with a great view, we're happy to come to you. Some love starting at their rental and walking to the beach. We'll make it work with your vacation schedule.
