Saint Augustine Beach Family Photographer
Family is the most important thing, and as a family business we know just how special it is. For this reason, family photoshoots will always have a special place in our heart. We are proud to call ourselves Saint Augustine Beach Family Photographers.
Additionally, we are located in St. Augustine, just miles away from the beach. The beautiful beaches of Florida’s coast make for the most magical photos. They can be a great way to remember a family vacation or a way to remember a great memory. Family is forever, and so is a photograph. Also, you can click here to view another family we photographed at the beach.
Generational Family Beach Pictures
Family Photographer
We have been photographing families on the East Coast for over a decade. First, we started with family pictures and then gradually moved to photographing families as well. The addition has been wonderful.
Cousins for Life
Taking pictures with extended family as well as immediate is a great way to document that time in everyone’s life. It is such a treat to be able and look back on when all the children were so young.
All the Love for Grandma & Grandpa
As a Saint Augustine Beach Family Photographer we pride ourselves in knowing all the beaches in the area. Vilano beach is one of our personal favorites, for photographing and spending time with our family. Vilano beach has gorgeous rocks that break the waves and yellow sand. The beach is always clean and its water sparkles, which is great for pictures!
Downtown Saint Augustine Family Pictures

Downtown Saint Augustine Family Photographer
We offer a modern approach with timeless, dynamic visuals. From the natural candid, photo journalistic images and video that capture the emotion and ambiance of the moment to the more formal poses with personality. There’s never a limit on the number of photos or video we shoot. And we do it all in an unobtrusive and personalized manner.
Flagler College
Flagler College is a liberal arts college in the heart of downtown Saint Augustine. Its historical campus is the beautiful backdrop for pictures. Additionally, the school takes part in nights of lights which is an internationally renown light attraction.
Lightner Museum Pictures
The Lightner Museum is a museum of antiques. The museum is located within an historic Spanish Renaissance Revival style building. Its bright yellow doors and vibrant pink flowers make for the perfect backdrop. Plus, it has some iconic stairs that are picture perfect. It’s free to walk the perimeter of the building, and take pictures. Likewise, this beautiful family’s neutral outfits photographed wonderfully. Most importantly, against the historic building’s bright colors.
Downtown Saint Augustine Photographer
We are a family owned and operated photography studio located in Saint Augustine. Therefore, we know some of the best places for pictures in the city. And we love what we do! It fills us with joy and purpose. Additionally, downtown is great for senior pictures. We have photographed a handful of senior pictures in the city of lights. To see some senior pictures of a ballerina click here.
Historic Saint Augustine Pictures
Historic Saint Augustine is a great place for family pictures. This family chose this city because of its historic beauty. As a result, their pictures hold memories of an historic city and love.
Vilano Beach Family Pictures

Vilano Beach Family Pictures
On one Spring evening in Saint Augustine, Florida two of our photographers took pictures of this beautiful family. The Lowe family selected our 1 hour family package. We met the happy family at the beach and immediately began taking pictures. We like to start off by photographing the younger children while they’re still happy (or corporative lol). Next, we shoot the individual families. Additionally, we are constantly moving locations to get a variety of backgrounds. It is very important that we get the widest range of pictures for our clients to cherish.
Flowers Make for Great Props
Often times, little children will pick up a flower or shell. This little guy did just that. His big smile lit up the beach as he played with the flowers. As shown in the pictures above. Recently, we shot a family & maternity session where the little girl also played with some flowers. To see those pictures click here.
The More the Merrier
The bigger the family, the more love and smiles they have to give. This family of 7 includes two adorable children. Additionally, they brought along grandpa for some pictures. Generational shoots like this are great because they show the entire family.
Walter Jones Historical Park Maternity Pictures

Jacksonville Maternity Photographer
We photographed the Thompson’s wedding years ago and now they are having their second child. Wow… time flies!
Capturing special moments in people’s lives is one of our greatest gifts as photographers. As a team we are maternity, newborn, and family photographers dedicated to serving the people of Jacksonville and Saint Augustine. Florida is our home and we are proud to be Jacksonville photographers. As such we pride ourselves in knowing the hidden gems of the area that are perfect for any family or couple’s personal style.
Walter Jones Historical Park
This historic 10 acre park was founded in 1994 and is a charming place for engagement, family or maternity pictures. The park offers a diverse array of backgrounds for photos. It has lots of greenery as well as numerous types of flowers that look stunning in photographs. Additionally, little children love to pick the flowers and have fun which makes for great candid shots with big smiles. Apart from the lively flora, is the historic white house that sits in the center of the park. We often find ourselves posing families at the back and front of the house for pictures, but occasionally we’ll have kids who run around the place. Their enthusiasm is a joy to photograph naturally.
Maternity Picture Ideas
There are definitely some classic maternity picture poses like resting the hands on the belly. But there are also some other creative shots that we enjoy taking. For example, we love overlaying the parents hands on the baby bump to create a heart. Not only is this cute, but it symbolizes all the love that the parents have for their unborn child. Pictures where an older sibling is kissing their mother’s stomach is adorable. When we photograph a maternity session with other big brother/sister, we make sure to do this pose. It is always a crowd pleaser.
As adorable as their daughter was, we made sure to get pictures without her. We find it equally important to get photos of just the couple during a maternity session, as well as beautiful pictures of the pregnant mother-to-be.
I don’t know if you can tell but it was pouring rain in these last series of photographs. Florida weather is so unpredictable, but luckily is didn’t start raining until the end of this maternity session. We had enough time to take shelter under the house, and were still able to keep taking gorgeous pictures.
Baby Wilcox’s First Birthday
Jacksonville Family Photographers; Jerry, Karen, and Hannah Favorite | Favorite Studios Photography + Cinematography
Jacksonville Family Photographers
We have been taking pictures of families for years, and many of our clients become our friends. In June 2011 we shot Tracy & Dan’s wedding. Additionally, we have had the opportunity to take all their family pictures and watch as their beautiful family grows.
Most of our family photoshoots are on location. As Jacksonville family photographers we pride ourselves in knowing the best places. It should be noted that these pictures were taken at Walter Jones Park. We love this little park because it has a little barn, beautiful flowers, and has water access.
Baby’s First Birthday
Happy birthday Callyn! Not only did the Wilcox’s do a family session with us, but also they brought props to celebrate the big #1. This was Callyn first time having sugar, and she loved it. Often parents do a first birthday shoot where the child eats their cake to document their funny faces.
We love these first birthday pictures so much that we did them for all three of our children. Along with the cake, the Wilcox’s brought fun decoration and a birthday hat that made the pictures more festive. For more pictures of babies click here.

Holiday Family Photos
The Daniel family hired us to take cute holiday photographs at their house in Jacksonville. Often times, families prefer shoots at their own homes. We love going on location for any shoot. Hopefully you get some Holiday Family Photo Inspiration from this post.
Importance of Family
When taking pictures of big families we find it important to get a picture of each generations. Here is the grandfather, father, and his two sons.
We are a third generation company, and have been taking pictures for a long time. Therefore, we value capturing every moment for every family. Also, it is important to us that you get the best quality pictures.
Holiday Prop Inspo
This gorgeous couple placed poinsettias all around the property that made the shoot are festive. Also, they used festive boxes and home decor as photo props.
This happy family of three placed their baby in a festive basket that said “do not open until December 25”!
Baby Della
These props were our favorite. We love all the red and green for Christmas. All the colors make for great Holiday Family Photo Inspiration. We also, love the cute “made fresh Candy Cane Lane” box. Recently we shot a “Baby’s First Birthday” at the Vilano Beach. Check out the cute ballon props by clicking here.
This grandpa has two babies in his life (his car and granddaughter). On occasion, clients will request that we take special photos of them and their car. We love this because it allows for the families personality to shine through the images.

Matching is Key
Many families wear coordinating outfits on the day of their shoot. Especially when the pictures are for holiday cards. These holiday family photos have white and blue as their color scheme.
Candid Holiday Family Pictures
You never quite know what pose or facial expression a child is going to make. As a result, we are always are on our toes and ready for the perfect candid. For candid family pictures by St. Augustine’s beach check out this link.
Experience = Best Locations
Having been photographers in Florida for so long we know the best places for pictures. We have shot everything from weddings to proposals to families in downtown. Therefore, we know the best spots for pictures in downtown St. Augustine.

Saint Augustine Vacationers Family Pictures
Saint Augustine is a huge tourist destination. Families come from all around to visit our gorgeous city and get their family pictures taken. We are currently booking sessions for this summer for all interested families. These Beach Family Vacation Pictures of the Franklin family at Vilano beach are filled with energy. The family brought their won #1 balloon to act as a prop.
Happy Birthday to one-year-old Vivian! Her parents dressed her in a light pink “birthday girl” shirt. Later in the shoot Vivian’s parents switched her into a second bright pink outfit. Many families choose to pack outfit changes especially for their children.
Kids are going to be kids. Children playing in the sand or grabbing flowers always makes for the cutest candid shots.
Working with families is one of our favorite things. Getting a family of five to all smile can be hard, but is rewarding.
Florida is the perfect vacation destination to get your family pictures taken! Furthermore, we are the best Family Photographers in Saint Augustine for your Beach Family Vacation Pictures.
Baby’s First Birthday
As a team we have lots of experience shooting babies and their families! We especially loved shooting the Franklin Family.

We love shooting these beautiful annual St Augustine family pictures!
2018 | Annual St Augustine Family Pictures
As new residents of Florida the Wagner family chose us to take their family pictures two years in a row. They are a joy to shoot on a beautiful summer day.
Family pictures to us are about capturing those blissful candid moments between children and their parents.
The Castillo de San Marcos fort in St. Augustine, Florida makes for a perfect backdrop for all family photographs.

The three boys smiled wide for the camera by the fountains at Palenica years ago.
Pictures really do say a thousand words! One of them being HAPPY!
Family Beach Photo Session | by St Augustine Photographer, Karen Favorite
The Hilling family was a ray of sunshine on this bright summer day. While vacationing in Saint Augustine, they took the time to get their family pictures taken on our sandy beaches.
Vilano Beach, Florida Family Beach Photography
Loved their happy faces and most adorable children! Such a joy to work with and photograph wonderful people.
White and khaki never goes out of style! While we often recommend color combinations for family outfits, there is a classic simplicity with the tried-and-true. If you’re trying to plan what to wear for your beach pictures, white blouses and polo shirts are easy to match with tan capri pants and shorts. Plus little girls always look adorable in a white eyelet sundress and hair bow!
Kids are precious and silly! And they grow up too fast!!! We love looking back at pictures of our children (if only I could freeze time). The Hillings will love and cherish these candid moments captured forever. No matter your budget or type of camera – shoot, shoot, shoot. You can never have too many photos.
This brother and sister duo were so sweet. The gnats were bad, the weather was hot and humid (of course), and these two kids were real troopers! They even had fun.
Family is what life is about. It’s our legacy. And photographing families is a real privilege and joy. Thank you!
Alexis from this photo session left a short and sweet review, “Wonderful experience! Efficient, kind, professional and patient! We love the photos we ended up with. Thanks, Karen!”
A few other testimonials from family photos:
“Very professional and quick to respond to emails and phone calls. It stormed on our first try and they were very flexible rescheduling our family. Our proofs were ready for preview very quickly. I would highly recommend and use them again.” – Erin
“Book with confidence! They respond quickly to every question. Work with you on planning. Deliver a superior product in a timely fashion. Go above and beyond basic customer service! Trust them with your treasured photos. We used Favorite Photography for a family photo shoot on the beach. Our family vacation is now a very pleasant memory with many photos to remember the great time we had in St. Augustine. A bonus we found out this family business goes back many generations and your pictures are prepared on site. Karen worked so well with our family and we have only kind words for her!” – Cindy
