Create Priceless Family Portraits During Your Holiday Visit to Stuart, Florida

By Diane Dultmeier | Stuart, Florida Family Photographer

When your whole family comes together—whether it's for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Spring Break, or just a special visit—it’s the perfect time to capture those meaningful connections with a professional family portrait.

Here on Florida’s beautiful Treasure Coast, families gather throughout the year to enjoy sunshine, reconnect with loved ones, and take a break from their busy lives. If your family is visiting Stuart, Palm City, Sewall’s Point, Vero Beach, Fort Pierce, Jupiter Island, or Hutchinson Island, let’s turn that visit into something truly lasting: a portrait you’ll treasure for decades.

Why Holidays Are the Best Time for a Family Portrait Session

  • Everyone’s together. Whether your college kids are home for Thanksgiving or your siblings flew in for Easter, having everyone in the same place is a rare and wonderful gift.

  • The mood is festive. During holiday visits, people tend to relax, reconnect, and feel more emotionally present—creating the perfect atmosphere for authentic, joyful portraits.

  • The weather is ideal. Fall, winter, and early spring bring the best of Florida’s weather—mild temperatures, beautiful golden light, and plenty of locations to choose from, from beaches to backyards.

Stuart, Florida Family Portraits During Thanksgiving Week (and Beyond)

The weeks before and after a major holiday tend to be the most popular times of year for extended family portrait sessions. Locals and visitors alike often host gatherings that include multiple generations. And people from all over the country enjoy visiting the Treasure Coast. If you’ve been thinking about creating a legacy portrait—something with grandparents, adult children, grandkids, and all the love between—this is your moment.


What to Expect: A Fun, Thoughtful, and Relaxed Experience

At Dultmeier Photography, we know that coordinating a portrait session during a family visit can feel overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be!

Here’s how we make it easy:

1. Planning Ahead Is Our Secret Weapon

From our first call, I’ll help you choose the best location (beach, backyard, or somewhere meaningful), coordinate clothing, and time the session perfectly around lighting, naps, and dinner plans. We’ll even discuss who’s who in your group, so we’re prepared for every personality.

2. Portraits That Feel Natural and Easy

My approach is relaxed and fun—just enough guidance to make sure everyone looks great, without making anyone feel stiff or overly posed. Even those reluctant family members usually say afterward, “That was way more fun than I expected!”

3. Artwork You’ll Be Proud to Hang

Whether we create a float-framed canvas for your living room or an heirloom Storybook Album for the grandparents, your finished portraits will be professionally designed and beautifully printed—ready to be enjoyed every day.

Availability Is Limited—Plan Ahead for Holiday Portraits

Holiday weeks—whether it’s Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year’s, Easter, Spring Break, or even the Fourth of July—are some of the most popular times for family portraits on the Treasure Coast. When your loved ones are visiting or everyone’s finally in one place, it’s a perfect opportunity to create something lasting.

Because these timeframes fill quickly, I encourage you to reach out early to reserve your spot. Let’s get your family on the calendar before those prime dates are gone!

Let’s Make Your Holiday Reunion Unforgettable

If your loved ones are coming to town—whether they’re flying in from out of state or driving up from South Florida—this is your opportunity to create something truly meaningful. Don’t let another holiday pass by without capturing this season of life.

Whether you're gathering family during a beach vacation or you live nearby in Stuart, Palm City, Sewall’s Point, Fort Pierce, Hutchinson Island, Jupiter Island, Orchid Island, or Vero Beach, I’d be honored to help you create lasting memories.
