Simple family photos without the stress of posing
I guide what’s happening so parents don’t have to

This is for you if your kids don't sit still.

If they run, ignore you, melt down, or refuse to look at a camera -- that's not a problem here. That's actually the whole point.

I guide sessions with simple games and movement so your family can just be together outside. Your kids think they're playing.

You get to actually enjoy them for an hour. You don't manage anything. I do.

Here's how this works:

We meet at an outdoor location.

I start a few simple games like Redlight - Greenlight to get the kids moving.

You hang out, stay close, and follow my lead. I handle the rest.

No posing. No "look at the camera." No trying to get everyone to behave.

Just your family outside, moving around -- and me quietly catching what happens.

Serving New Port Richey and the greater Tampa Bay area.

I’m Jeff Jansen, a Tampa Bay family lifestyle photographer in New Port Richey, Fl.

You just need someone who knows how to work with families the way they actually are -- loud, moving, unpredictable, and real.

That's what I do.

We plan it. I guide it. You treasure it.

Step 1: Plan with confidence

Wardrobe, location, and what to expect are all made simple before your session begins.

Step 2: Enjoy the session

I guide the session and work with your kids naturally, so it never feels forced.

Step 3: Treasure what matters

You get meaningful images that feel real, connected, and worth holding onto.

What you'll walk away with:

1.) Clear direction (no guessing)

2.) Kids can move (no “performing”)

3.) Full gallery + fast turnaround (no upsell games)

Why Clients love us.

“I have never liked family photos this much in my life.” ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

— Sarah, Tampa

We are not a “perfect photo” family. My kids are feral by 5pm, my husband hates cameras, and I always feel awkward. Somehow Jeff took all of that and turned it into my favorite photos we’ve ever had.

The session felt more like a relaxed evening at the beach than a photo shoot. We played, chased the kids, got our feet wet, and he just quietly did his thing. The way he captured the little in-between moments, the kids tackling my husband, my daughter holding my hand, my son snuggling into me when he got cold absolutely wrecked me in the best way.

I’ve already printed half the gallery and my only regret is not booking him sooner.

“Zero stress, just real life beautifully documented.”
— Melissa & Jake, St. Pete

Jeff photographed our newborn at home when we were in that sleep-deprived, what-day-is-it haze, and I cannot explain how grateful I am that we booked him.

He quietly came in, checked the light, and then just let us be. When the baby needed to eat, we paused. When our toddler melted down over the wrong snack (of course), he rolled with it and somehow turned it into some of my favorite images of the two of them together.

The photos feel exactly like our life right now, soft, a little messy, and full of love. Nothing feels stiff or overly posed. Just us, in our home, in this wild little season. I cry every time I look through the gallery.

Short & Sweet / mini-style session

“My husband actually enjoyed this.”
— Daniel & Priya K, Clearwater  ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

We booked a Short & Sweet session because we just needed a few updated photos for cards and grandparents, and honestly, I wasn’t expecting to love them as much as I do.

Jeff was confident, patient, and really good with our kids (4 and 6, high energy, short attention spans). He gave us simple directions, played little games with them, and never made us feel rushed even though the session was only 30 minutes.

The images feel so us silly, warm, slightly chaotic, and full of personality. We went in thinking “just a few pics,” and ended up upgrading to the full gallery because we couldn’t choose.
