Family Photography That Is Tailored for You

We're Rob and Jill—a husband-and-wife photography team in St. Augustine, Florida who see the world differently, and that's exactly why it works. Rob sees light and composition. Jill reads the room, notices when someone's uncomfortable, and knows when your toddler needs a two-minute chase break. After 2,500+ shoots, we've figured out how to make people forget we're even there.

Our style is timeless and relaxed. We mix natural light with genuine connections, guided poses with spontaneous ones. The kind of results that feel like your crew—not stiff department store portraits, but real life captured well. No forced smiles or awkward hands. We'll talk you through everything so you feel comfortable instead of posed.

Kids can be kids when they're with us. Toddlers can run. Teenagers can roll their eyes. Grandparents can sit when they need to. We embrace the playful chaos because that's what makes sessions with us different—and we're always shooting, even when you think we're adjusting settings.

St. Augustine Beach Sessions

Beach sessions are our most requested booking. We photograph at St. Augustine Beach, Vilano Beach, Anastasia State Park, and Crescent Beach — we'll pick the right spot based on crowds, tide, and your preferences. Golden hour is our favorite, when the light is soft, warm, and flattering.

What to expect: sand, wind, kids running toward the water, and gorgeous results. We'll get the posed shots you need and the candid scenes you'll treasure.

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—these are the ones we love most. 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 patience or natural expressions. We'll get the full group, then break into smaller groupings: grandparents with grandkids, siblings, cousins.

Whether you're visiting or local, we know the right spots and timing—places even longtime residents haven't discovered.

Mini Shoots

Short, sweet, and seasonal. Mini shoots are 20-30 minutes at a curated location on set dates—perfect for returning clients or first-timers. We offer minis for Nights of Lights, spring blooms, and summer evenings. Join our list for early access.

Senior Portraits

High school graduation is a milestone worth celebrating. Our senior shoots capture who you are right now—not stiff yearbook shots, but natural, expressive results that feel like you.

We photograph seniors at the beach, downtown, in nature, or at locations that are meaningful to you. Multiple outfits, multiple spots—we create variety for announcements, wall prints, and social media.

Book the summer before senior year for fall delivery. This is a moment—let's make it memorable.

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.
