Jacksonville Family Photographer  

Real Moments. Honest Connection

I photograph families who want images that feel natural, connected, and true to who they are.

My Jacksonville family photo sessions are gently guided and intentionally unhurried, creating space for movement, laughter, and the in-between moments that often matter most.

Whether I’m photographing a newborn at home, a maternity session by the water, or a family on the beach, my focus is always on documenting how this season of life feels.

If you’re drawn to warm, light-filled images and a relaxed experience, you’re in the right place.

Hi Friend, I’m 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 feels 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, but I leave 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 giving 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, but most of your images will capture all of those tiny little connected moments that tend to mean more as time passes.

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.

What Clients Are Saying

“I have been doing a photoshoot with Teresa at least once a year since my youngest daughter was one-years-old. I hope to leave yearly albums documenting our precious memories together to my girls when they are older, to look back on. Teresa is brilliant with young children, and captures the most candid and scenically beautiful photographs, in the most gorgeous locations!” 

— Cat T.

After recently. moving to the Ponte Vedra area, I stumbled upon Teresa's portfolio of work and couldn't be happier with my choice of choosing her as my family's photographer. Not only was she very kind, but she was also great with a rambunctious toddler and made the whole experience feel very natural and fun! We could not be happier with the results and look forward to working with her again!

— Monica S

Teresa is a great photographer! She has taken newborn and family pictured for both of my boys and they will be photos that I cherish forever. She is so good with our kids, especially our toddler who is constantly on the move. The quality of her work is amazing! 10/10 would recommend!!
