Favorite Family Photographers | Vilano Beach | St Augustine, Florida | by Favorite Studios
Spring is here and we’re enjoying the perfect Florida weather right now. Many spring break vacationers flock to the First Coast to bask on our beautiful beaches and tour historic St. Augustine. It’s a hot spot for families to get some peaceful rest and relaxation. We love meeting and photographing awesome families from around the country and even the world that come visit.
Though Florida is great year round! The Geier Family from Arizona visited last summer. They took advantage of the perfect opportunity to schedule a professional family portrait session.
Vilano Beach was a lovely backdrop for creating these family memories. I especially like how Jerry captured the love and togetherness with casual poses and candid moments. Our family photo sessions are always a lot of fun!
We also work very hard to photograph a variety of pictures, from individual shots to family groupings in a diversity of different poses, as well as the carefree lifestyle photos of truly unposed moments.
The Geier family loved their vacation photos and we hope they’ll come back to visit again soon!

The Hortmans are one of my ‘favorite’ (pun intended) families. I still vividly recall Patty and Matt’s wedding in May of 2008 off the St Johns River. They’re an amazing couple and have three awesome kids. Enjoy viewing some beautiful pictures from their natural Florida family photography session.
I had a pleasure of photographing their family pictures in 2010 soon after the arrival of their first boy and again last year which included a new adorable little addition. It also happened to be Matt and Patty’s 5th wedding anniversary! What a great way to celebrate their lives and their family.
This was truly a blessed day and the Florida weather was perfect. Washington Oaks Gardens is a breathtaking location (even though this lovely old fallen oak tree is no longer here).
I have really enjoyed looking back through these family pictures and hope you do to! It makes me appreciate and love my family even more too. “This is our happily ever after.”
We love the coquina rocks on this area of beach in Palm Coast. They make some of the best family beach sessions.
We certainly had a fun-tastic photo shoot and I look forward to the next time the Hortmans visit Jacksonville/St Augustine area again!

I can’t stop smiling every time I look through the Taylor family photo session. They are such an adorable, happy family and their smiles are contagious! Mitch and Melissa are blessed with an amazing family and two great kids.
Every portrait session with Favorite Photography is original and different. There are so many wonderful moments we recall from every photo shoot. This one has a few that stand out. I’ll never forget when the sweetest, cutest little three year old pushed her charming brother into the water fountain. Both kids were so shocked, but I think we can safely laugh about it now. I tell this story because, honestly, these two kids were truly well behaved and had a great time. When you have children (Jerry and I have three), you learn to expect the unexpected and roll with it. The Taylors dried themselves off and came back for round two with great aplomb. I love it!
We enjoy photographing family portraits on location at our beautiful Florida beaches, but if you’re
looking for something a little different, there’s nothing better than
historic downtown Saint Augustine. There is an unlimited number of
unique and beautiful backgrounds all within walking distance.
It was an honor to photograph the Taylor family, capturing the traditional posed photos along with the fun, candid moments. Our little photo journey started at The Lightner Museum and ended near the Bridge of Lions. Such a lovely day full of wonderful memories. Thank you!

When Tracy and Greg moved back to Jacksonville they wanted to continue the tradition of having an annual photo session of their kids. We love the fact that they chose Favorite Photography to capture these treasured moments.
Jerry had a blast photographing Kobe and Griff around the historic Treaty Oak and infamous Friendship Fountain showcasing downtown Jacksonville’s skyline. They had been looking for a special location that was unique to Jacksonville and really represented their new home. We think these two spots are perfect, offering a great variety of natural and modern backdrops.
Looking forward to next year’s Jones Family photos… and maybe heading to the beach!

Jacksonville Newborn Baby Photography by Jerry and Karen Favorite | Favorite Studios | Florida Family Photographers
Welcome to baby Connor of proud parents, Charles and Tejal! This adorable boy arrived towards the end of winter and we got to meet him when he was still teeny-tiny.
We love beautiful naked baby pictures… sleeping and so sweet. What an angel! A great idea for the newborn photo shoot is to bring some personal baby items like a custom knit cap or blanket. Maybe something old that you had as a kid or matches the color scheme of the baby nursery.
What an amazing blessing you are to your mom and dad. We know you are already growing bigger, changing and exploring more every day.
Go Gators! For baby boys (or girls), bring your favorite team paraphernalia, ball or toy.
Soon you will be introduced to Florida life – playing in the sand,
riding waves, throwing a football and rooting for your favorite team
(thinking it’ll be the “Gators” if your parents have anything to say
about that)!
Lots of love and kisses. These are memories to cherish always. Nothing is sweeter that cute little noses, baby fingers and toes.
Congratulations to the the McLeod family and thank you for giving us the opportunity to photograph your precious baby.

Wow how time flies! We can’t believe the first month of 2013 is already over with! This first month was wonderful and we can’t wait to see what is in store for the rest of the year.
Home improvement projects, Karen’s birthday, and a very special event shoot rounded out the rest of our month. We hope you had a wonderful January!
Karen recently had a sweet baby session with little Aubrey and her family.
We love all of the adorable expressions that Aubrey was giving. She is such a happy baby!
Favorite Photography has been there for quite a few special events in the Kirsch Family. Karen has photographed their wedding, son Gavin’s newborn through 1st birthday photos, and now the latest cute addition, daughter Aubrey’s life stages (Mom’s maternity session, one month, and now the four month session). We love watching families grow and being able to capture all the exciting times.
Big brother Gavin wanted to get in on the fun to! We know he’s going to be a great brother for Aubrey, and we can’t wait to see the two of them grow up together.
Just look at those little baby feet! And Aubrey’s smile just melts your heart – such a cutie pie!
One last family picture before we finished the session, and this ended up being one of our favorite shots of the day. We love the interaction of everyone, and the great togetherness this photo brings.
Thanks to the Kirsch Family for bringing such sweetness into our job!

We recently had the joy of photographing this lovely family in St. Augustine. The Driessen family had a reunion for Grandpa’s 70th birthday, and these portraits were his surprise present!
Jerry and Karen had a great time capturing everyone’s personalities individually and together. Don’t you love his smile? We could tell he was going to be a little heart breaker.
Aren’t these sisters just the cutest? We loved the natural light with the beach house backdrop.
Grandpa came all the way from Holland to be with his family and celebrate this special birthday with them. We really enjoyed capturing him with his family.
Everyone was all smiles, which made the photo shoot so much fun. They did wonderfully with their outfit choices – complimenting each other, but also showing their individual style. This is one of our favorite pictures of the day.
We really like this photo of the two sons with their dad. There might be an ocean between them a lot of the time, but they are still a strong family.
The girls were full of giggles when their parents swung them around in the air! We love the natural moments like this.
Nothing quite like the ocean as a backdrop for family photos! We love being out on location for family portraits like these.
Thank you Driessen Family for letting us share in your celebration!

February is one of our favorite months. The last bits of winter around us, the feeling of love is in the air, and Spring is right around the corner.
As you can see, our month was filled with happy couples, new business materials, and some beyond adorable newborns!
We also had great times with our family, and made some wonderful memories. We’re so excited for Spring to be upon us! What are you most looking forward to in March?
Our last instagram post of 2012! This year has been amazing for Favorite Photography, and this last month proved no different!
As you can see lots of fun filled our December! We loved all of our weddings and family sessions!
We had quite a few newborn sessions, and being around new life always brings joy! We created a lot of canvas gallery wraps for Christmas presents, and know how happy they made the recipients.
If we could have one wish for 2013 it is that all of the good from this past year could be multiplied for this next year! Best wishes to you and yours!
We hope you love this video fusion of the colorful holiday lights at Jacksonville’s Friendship Fountain!
