Family Photographer in New Port Richey, Florida
I live here. I shoot here. I know the parks, I know where the light falls at golden hour, and I know which spots are worth the drive versus which ones look good in photos but fall apart in real conditions.
If you're looking for a family photographer in New Port Richey and you want photos that look like your actual family — not a posed version of it — this is what I do.
How sessions work
I call it guided-candid. I give you enough direction to put you in good light and give you something to do, then I step back and watch. You're not told to freeze in place. You move, you interact, you exist. I watch for the real moments.
Sessions are built for how families actually behave. Kids who won't sit still, dads who'd rather be somewhere else, moms who are worried nobody will cooperate — that's every session. It settles down once everyone stops thinking about the camera.
Where we shoot
New Port Richey has good spots for family sessions, especially if you want natural light, shade, and room for kids to move.
Sims Park is my most-used location — river, live oaks, visual variety, all walkable from one lot. Green Key Beach and Anclote Gulf Park work well for that open, coastal sunset look. Werner-Boyce Salt Springs State Park if you want something wilder. I can also shoot in your home, which is underrated and often the right call for families with very young kids or newborns.
After you inquire, I'll ask a few questions and recommend the spot that fits your family specifically.
What you get
A curated gallery of your strongest images from the session, hand-edited in a warm, natural style. Depending on your collection, you'll have options for prints, albums, and wall art so the photos don't disappear into your camera roll.
What to wear
Neutral or earthy tones. Clothes you can move and sit in. Comfortable shoes. Coordination over matching. I'll help you figure out the specifics after you book.
A few questions I get often
How much does a family session cost in New Port Richey? Our one and only session package is $900. Full details on the pricing page.
What if my kids don't cooperate? That's every session. My approach is built around movement and patience, not pressure. We don't need perfect kids.
When's the best time of day? The last 60 to 90 minutes before sunset. Early morning works too, especially for toddlers in warmer months.
Do you travel outside New Port Richey? Yes. I'm based here and serve families throughout Pasco County, plus North Pinellas and North Hillsborough — Trinity, Odessa, Palm Harbor, Wesley Chapel, Clearwater.
