St Augustine Family Photographer
Candid and Natural Family Photography in St augustine
My sessions are relaxed, fun, and all about real connection. No stiff poses or forced smiles, just your family being yourselves. I will gently guide you as you laugh, play, and enjoy each other, all while capturing the little moments that tell your story.
This season of life is fleeting, from quiet snuggles to giggles and chaos. These sessions focus on connection, emotion, and your family’s personality..no stress, no perfection, just you as you are.
Kids grow up fast. These images preserve the love, laughter, and everyday magic so you can step back and feel it all again for years to come. Investing in a session isn’t just about pictures—it’s about capturing the feeling of right now, and I’d be honored to help you do that.
REAL MOMENTS. REAL CONNECTION.
St Augustine Family Photos
Meet teresa
I’m a mom too, which means I understand the beautiful chaos of this season of life. The energy, the closeness, the moments that don’t always go as planned—but end up meaning the most.
That understanding guides the way I photograph families: calmly, thoughtfully, and with space for real connection to unfold.
The ExperienceAfter booking a session with me, you can expect a personalized experience and a simple process.
01.
Thoughtful Planning
You will complete a questionnaire. I’ll take time to learn about your family, your children, and what matters most to you in this season. This helps each session feel personal and unhurried from the start.
02.
Complete Styling support
No need to worry about what to wear. I have got you covered! You’ll receive guidance on outfit choices, color palettes, and coordination, along with access to my client closet if you’d like. My goal is to make planning feel simple, not overwhelming.
03.
Enjoy A Fun Evening With Your Loved Ones
I want your session to be a unique opportunity to bond with your family. I’ll offer gentle direction while creating space for real connection, movement, and laughter.
04.
Beautifully Edited Images
Each image is thoughtfully & artistically edited with attention to skin tones, color, and details like stray hairs and blemishes. You’ll receive images that reflect your family naturally and honestly.
Kind Words
“Teresa's personality and gifted photography skills have made our shoots such a pleasure and our family photos priceless! She has a way of making everybody feel calm and forget that there's a camera around. She is especially great at getting young children to smile and enjoy the shoot. Her talents have led to our favorite photos and I can't recommend her enough.”

Faqs

The wardrobe is an essential part of having polished-looking portraits and I am here to help you with that. I provide wardrobe assistance for each session. This includes a wardrobe guide with the do’s and dont’s to styling your session. I also provide my clients with exclusive access to Style & Select, which is an online database run by photographers. You can shop for and coordinate your entire family’s wardrobe with ease through this site. I also have a client closet with dresses available on loan to moms. I am always available as a sounding board to provide input to help you finalize your choices.

I have children and I get this, but do not stress. My sessions are active and I use lots of prompts. I have lots of tricks up my sleeve to engage children. Just focus on staying in the moment and embracing the beauty of this stage in parenting. I promise you will love the images.
-
All packages listed are for immediate family members only. If you wish to include extended family members, please contact me for the pricing. Your session will require extra session time and editing time, which is why there is an additional fee.
-
As these are not fully processed or artistically enhanced images, I do not release Raw and unedited images. The final gallery contains the best images from your collection.
-
I hand edit each and very image form your gallery. I begin with color correction and then enhancement of light, sky and other details. I then edit every individual photo in Photoshop where I make further artistic enhancements and I also smooth skin, brighten eyes and remove stray hairs.

Both sunrise and sunset can be beautiful times for family photos, but they offer very different experiences — especially here in Florida.
Sunset sessions have warm, golden light, but they also come with more unpredictability during certain times of year. In the spring and summer months, afternoon heat and pop-up thunderstorms are common, which can lead to last-minute weather changes. Beaches and popular locations also tend to be busier in the evenings, which can add extra distractions.
Sunrise sessions are often a favorite, particularly during Florida’s warmer seasons. The light is soft and even, temperatures are cooler, and the weather is typically more stable earlier in the day. Locations are quiet and peaceful, kids are usually well-rested, and the overall experience feels slower and more relaxed.
If you’re hoping for a calm, unhurried session — or want to minimize weather concerns during storm season — sunrise is often the best option. I’m always happy to talk through timing and help you choose what will work best for your family.
-
I leave room in my calendar for the possibility of rain. If it rains, we will reschedule to the next available date. I do not reschedule due to cloudy weather. In fact, cloudy days provide perfect lighting for sessions.

You are not obligated to print through me, but I highly recommend using a reputable printer. I set the printing cost low to encourage clients to print through the professional lab. I can’t guarantee the quality of prints printed through an outside lab, as I am not calibrated nor affiliated with those labs. I also offer custom albums and print packages. Just message me for more info.
-
You will receive an online gallery link with all your photos within 2 weeks after your session time. You can download your photos from the gallery. The gallery allows you to share with family and also provides you with access to professional printing services.
-
Mini sessions are offered during the Fall for the holidays and typically involve sets, props and most of my locations require permits and time limitations, thus limiting my flexibility.
These sessions are 15-20 minutes in length and are appointment-based. Multiple families are photographed each day. I make every effort to capture your child in the allotted time, but, for mini sessions, I am forced to work within the constraints of your appointment time.
Although I don’t offer mini sessions throughout the remainder of the year, I often run promotions for regular sessions that are posted through my newsletter . Those spots tend to book up quickly. Message me if you would like to be added to either of those groups.
-
Your gallery will remain active for 60 days and I archive images for 90 days as a courtesy. Please download and backup your images.
Extended Family Photography
For Big Groups and the Moments that Matter the Most
Extended family sessions are perfect for the moments when everyone is finally in one place — grandparents, grown kids, cousins, and all the in-between connections that don’t happen often enough.
These sessions are thoughtfully planned and gently guided so they feel organized without feeling stiff. I’ll help group combinations flow naturally while leaving room for laughter, movement, and the relationships that matter most.
Whether you’re gathering for a vacation, milestone, or reunion, this is a meaningful way to document this season together.

“I can't say enough about how amazing Teresa is! We did a family photo session for 12 people, including three 2 year olds and a 6 year old. She provided so much help when it came to styling everyone to make sure we all looked cohesive. She not only provided some color schemes for us to select from but then helped go through our outfits and provided options that would go with what we'd already chosen.
On the day of the photo shoot, I was so impressed with her. She was so calm and patient and we never felt rushed. You can tell she has experience with kids and she had many tricks to make it fun for them. She was great at directing everyone in the photos and worked quickly to get all the shots we wanted.
I was shocked to see how fast she got our photos back to us, even with the holidays she had our gallery ready for us in a week! With that being said, I am so in love with how our pictures turned out. The candid photos she took are perfect, they manage to capture everyone's personalities so well. I'm still in shock at how many amazing photographs we got back, she truly has an eye for the perfect picture. Thank you for everything Teresa!”
