From a family we’ve photographed
“I can’t thank Michelle enough for the memories she captured of our family. We have used her twice for our Florida vacation photos and I will forever cherish them. She is so fun, personable and great with our kids. Highly recommend—and I can’t wait to make more memories with her.”
Nunnally Family
A little of what we photograph
Real families, real personalities and beautiful places.
We photograph local families, vacation groups, grandparents, toddlers, teenagers and newborns. Every family looks different, and that is exactly the point—the photographs should feel polished without losing the people inside them.
Choose the session
Choose the session that fits your family.
A quick update with your immediate family feels different from a full vacation gathering with grandparents and cousins. Choose the session that feels closest to what you are planning, and we’ll make sure the details fit.

Petite
A short morning update

Petite sessions are typically sunrise-only—Florida traffic gets wild once everyone wakes up! Maybe we’ll offer later times farther afield when traffic calms down. In Deltona, DeBary, DeLand, Osteen, Lake Helen and New Smyrna Beach, Petite sessions are available any time of day.

The person behind your photographs
Hi, I’m Michelle. We’ll make room for your real family.
Wife, mama, kid chaser and a straight shooter with a soft spot for a good laugh. For more than 15 years, we’ve photographed families around Orlando and Florida’s coast—and Michelle photographs every family session herself.
We’ll help with the location and outfits, give you clear direction, and adjust the pace when children need a moment. You can expect portraits of everyone together, smaller family combinations and the expressions that make these photographs yours.

Orlando to the coast
We’ll help you choose a location that feels right.
A beautiful location should also be comfortable and practical. We consider the light, heat, walking distance, crowds, accessibility and the ages in your family before recommending a place.
That might be an Orlando garden, a relaxed vacation-area setting, an easy beach access or the studio. The best choice is the one that looks beautiful and lets your family settle in comfortably.

Good to know
A few answers to make planning easier.
What is a family session actually like?
Relaxed and fully guided. We’ll help with where to stand, what to do with your hands and when to simply enjoy your family. You do not need to arrive knowing how to pose.
What if my children are shy, busy or having a hard day?
That is completely okay. We work with real children and real personalities every day. We keep things moving, use play and little breaks when needed, and never expect perfect behavior or nonstop smiles.
Which collection should we choose?
Petite is best for smaller immediate families who want a short morning session. Essential gives immediate families more time and variety. Signature gives one immediate family more time for children to settle in, different groupings and approximately 50 finished images. Extended Family is for multiple households, even with fewer than 10 people.
Will you help us choose a location and outfits?
Absolutely. We’ll recommend locations based on your family, schedule, mobility needs and the look you love. We’ll also help you coordinate clothing that feels comfortable and looks beautiful without making everyone match.
When will our gallery be ready?
Most family galleries are ready in approximately two to three weeks. Your private gallery stays available for one year after delivery. Download your photographs and keep your own backup; the online gallery closes after that year.
What happens if Florida weather becomes a problem?
We keep a close eye on the forecast and the conditions at your actual location. If the weather becomes unsafe or truly unsuitable, we’ll walk you through the best available option, which may include a location change or rescheduling.
