At the Beach | Ponte Vedra beach family photographer

I met this warm family for portraits in Ponte Vedra. Their baby girl was absolutely precious and has an amazing smile. It was also a lovely day at the beach with such pretty colors.

Beach | Ponte Vedra family photographer

Beach photography is one of my favorites in the spring and summer months. We get such lovely colors in the sky, and each sky is a little different. This particular evening at a beach in Ponte Vedra was a perfect backdrop for this family’s portraits.

When I last saw this little boy, he wasn’t walking yet, but for this session he has learned to sprint–as toddlers do–at lightning speed with those little legs. But when he paused, looking over his shoulder, he had the sweetest smile. Photographing toddlers is always about the split-second treasure. His sister is also full of adventure and joy: I love her expression here as she jumps with the parasol.

And the beautiful family together.

Look at that grin… on the run! But a special shell stops him for a moment.

We’re so lucky here in Florida. After all these years, I still love looking at a beach sky at sunset.

My client wanted family pictures while her sons were in town. I love how the brothers let loose for their portraits and had fun with it.

One of my favorites from the session: the younger brother jumped on his brother’s back (love their expressions).

The beautiful family.

Jenny & Ed |



Jacksonville wedding photographer

Jenny and Ed have known each other since high school, and as soon as I met them, I could see how at home they are with each other and how in love they are. They got married at Palm Valley Gardens in Ponte Vedra Beach. It’s such a charming venue with its pond and landscaped gardens, and it even has a balcony that Jenny used to throw her bouquet. Jenny and Ed know how to have fun, and boy, can Jenny move fast! That bouquet was in the air in a split second, and they both were running at full speed when it was time for their bubble farewell. It makes me smile just remembering. They were just that excited to start their new lives together. Congratulations again, and I wish you many, many years of joy.
