Hi! I Am Teresa Geraghty

Before photography became my full-time work, I spent 15 years as a high school English teacher, where storytelling was always at the center of what I did. After my first daughter was born, I picked up my camera with a new purpose. My goal was to preserve the fleeting, everyday moments that were passing by too quickly.

I started my photography business 13 years ago while still teaching, driven by a desire to create images that help families remember what this season felt like, not just how it looked.

As a Jacksonville family and newborn photographer, I photograph families and newborns in a relaxed, gently guided way that leaves room for real connection, movement, and the in-between moments that matter most.

When you look back on your images, I want you to remember the closeness, the love, and the way your family fit together right then.

WHAT IT’S LIKE TO WORK WITH ME

Working with me feels calm, easy, and intentionally unhurried.

From the moment you reach out, my goal is to make the entire experience feel simple and supported. You don’t need to know how to pose. You don’t need perfectly behaved children. You don’t need to show up with a plan.

I’ll guide you every step of the way.

During your session, I follow your children’s lead, allow space for breaks, and create an environment where everyone can settle in and be themselves. I offer gentle direction and prompts when needed, while leaving room for real interaction, movement, and the in-between moments that happen naturally when you’re simply together.

Most parents tell me they’re surprised by how easy it feels.

I’m patient, engaged, and attentive to what each family needs in the moment — whether that’s slowing things down, changing course, or offering a little extra encouragement. My personality is calm and steady, and that energy carries into every session.

You’ll walk away with a handful of classic, frame-worthy portraits — the kind grandparents love — along with a gallery that leans heavily into connection. The snuggles. The laughter. The quiet glances. The way your child reaches for your hand without thinking.

Above all, I care deeply about creating images that feel honest and true to you. Not overly styled. Not forced. Not perfect.

Just real life, beautifully documented.

More Than Just a Photo Session – It’s an Experience

You don’t need perfectly behaved children.
You don’t need to know how to pose.
You just need to show up and love your people.

The heart Behind my work

As a mother to two girls, I know firsthand how quickly these seasons move. One day you’re rocking a newborn, and the next you’re watching them walk into school with backpacks bigger than they are. Becoming a mom deepened my understanding of just how meaningful photographs can be — not as perfect displays, but as reminders of the love, closeness, and everyday moments that make up your life.

I photograph families the way I hope to remember my own: with honesty, softness, and a focus on connection. The quiet snuggles. The belly laughs. The way your child fits perfectly in your arms right now. These are the moments I want you to be able to return to.

My work IS FOR YOU IF…

…your kids are wiggly, shy, loud, or all of the above, you’re in the right place. These sessions are for families who want real connection and a little room to be yourselves.

…you have a newborn and want something honest and gentle. Simple, baby-led moments with you close. The moments you’ll recognize when you look back.

…you have a moment that matters: first birthdays, seniors, anniversaries, and extended family gatherings when everyone’s finally together. We’ll keep it calm, guided, and true to your people.
