Family Portrait Photographer for Palm City Families

Yes! I often photograph families at their homes, docks along the St. Lucie River, or in private backyards surrounded by Palm City's natural beauty.

Yes! Hutchinson Island beaches are just minutes away and offer stunning coastal settings for relaxed family portraits.

Yes, I love helping with this part! During our planning process, I’ll guide you through choosing clothing that not only photographs beautifully, but also complements your family’s style and the colors in your home — especially important when you plan to display your portraits on the walls. If you're working with an interior designer, I'm happy to collaborate with them too, so everything feels cohesive and intentional. My goal is to create portraits that look just as natural in your home as the moments they capture.

 I usually recommend reaching out 8–10 weeks ahead—especially during the holidays when things get extra busy. But if your family is getting together soon, don’t hesitate to get in touch! I may still be able to fit you in.

Every portrait experience is completely customized, so your final investment depends on the type and size of artwork you choose for your home. Most families invest north of $2000 in finished pieces such as wall portraits, handcrafted albums, or folio boxes.

Your session includes much more than just photographs. It starts with a planning consultation, followed by a relaxed, guided session. Afterward, I help you choose your favorite images, then hand-retouch each one to perfection — preserving the natural, honest feel of your family with very natural retouching, making you each the best version of yourself.

From there, we’ll design timeless artwork that’s custom-made using the highest quality materials, crafted to last for generations. I guide you every step of the way, so the process feels thoughtful and enjoyable — and the results are something your family can truly be proud of. To make sure the project is fully complete, installation of your wall portraits is included.

Absolutely. I have photographed family groups of 40 people or more! My background as a photojournalist and a wedding photographer means I work well with all ages (and love capturing generational portraits). Many of my clients plan portrait sessions when grandparents, adult children, or extended family are in town. Whether it’s a holiday gathering, a milestone celebration, or a rare weekend together, I will make it easy for everyone to feel at home in front of the camera. Your family will be surprised at how much fun they have together during the photography session!

Yes, I do — and it’s one of my clients’ favorite parts of the experience! Once your portraits are finished and framed, I personally oversee the professional installation in your home. I’ll help you decide on the best placement based on your space and lighting, so your portraits not only look beautiful, but feel like they’ve always belonged there. No guesswork, no measuring tape stress — just artwork that’s perfectly placed and ready to enjoy every day.
