the carey family

There is something so special about bringing the entire family together to celebrate life's biggest milestones, and this beautiful extended family photoshoot in St. Augustine was the perfect way to celebrate one very loved little boy turning one year old! Milestone birthdays are even more meaningful when grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, and cousins can all be part of the memories.

One of the questions I get asked most often before an extended family photography session is whether we'll have enough time to capture everyone. The answer is always yes! My sessions are thoughtfully planned so we photograph the full family together first, then work through every combination imaginable—from grandparents with grandchildren and each individual family unit all the way down to individual portraits. No one is forgotten.

While we make sure to capture all of those timeless, frame-worthy portraits, I also spend the session prompting genuine interactions that create natural, candid moments. Whether it's snuggles with Grandma, giggles with siblings, or playful moments with the birthday boy, these authentic connections are what truly bring your gallery to life.

If you're looking for an extended family photographer in St. Augustine or planning a large family beach photoshoot, I'd love to help create a relaxed experience that results in a gallery full of both classic portraits and heartfelt candid memories you'll treasure for years to come.
