Jacksonville Family Photographer
Serving St. Augustine & Northeast Florida
Candid. Connected. Completely you.
These days aren’t always quiet, but they are fleeting. The gap-toothed grins. The chubby fingers. The wild, unbrushed curls and whispered bedtime snuggles. You don’t need picture-perfect, you want real.
I’m Shandi, a Jacksonville family photographer capturing the beauty in the everyday. No stiff poses, no forced smiles. Just the honest, artful documentation of your people, exactly as they are in this season of life.
Because one day, this will be the good old days.

Where Presence Matters More Than Perfection
You don’t need another perfectly posed photo—you want to remember the way your toddler clings to your leg, how your son’s laugh fills the room, or how your daughter twirls when she thinks no one’s watching.
This is for the families who care more about connection than matching outfits. Who want images that feel like their life—not a Pinterest board. During our time together, you don’t have to perform or pretend.
You just get to be a family. I'll handle the rest.
01
A calm, low-pressure experience (yes, even with toddlers)
02
Natural, movement-based prompts that help you relax
03
A blend of quiet storytelling and frame-worthy portraits
04
Timeless edits that reflect the warmth and honesty of your family
She made us feel so comfortable.
She was great at giving direction but also letting us be ourselves and she truly cared to get real smiles from our little ones(which can be very difficult!). Shandi has a very sweet temperament and also very professional. The photos are beautiful and I can’t wait to show them off! I’m a very happy customer!

Frequently asked questions
From a jacksonville family photographer
As your Jacksonville family photographer, I recommend neutral colors, soft textures, and outfits that feel like you. I’ll send a style guide to help.
That's ok! This is totally normal. I create relaxed, playful sessions so your kids can be themselves. Real moments are always the best ones.
We can shoot at the beach, your home, or a favorite park. I’ll help you choose a spot that feels natural for your family. Mini sessions happen at select locations.
Most family sessions in Jacksonville last 45–60 minutes—, just enough time to capture connection without overwhelming little ones.
Your gallery will be ready in 3 weeks. You’ll get a private link to download, share, and order prints or albums.
Mini sessions are quick and great for a few updated photos. Full sessions give more time, variety, and a relaxed pace.
