It’s almost that time of year again when we pull out the matching sweaters and shoes, get our hair done, and take family photos for our holiday cards. If you’re anything like me, you know this season can sneak up quickly. Despite our amazing local photographers, my procrastination often leaves me scrambling.

Last year, I actually managed to book a session ahead of time. But then, my daughter’s dress got lost in the mail, and we got rained out! We made it work with some home photos and candid shots from throughout the year, but it was a reminder of why early planning is key.

To help you avoid the holiday rush and ensure you capture beautiful memories, I want to share some of my favorite local photographers with you.

Kim of Kimhearts

Kim has been my go-to photographer since my daughter’s first birthday. She excels in capturing the essence of every moment, whether it’s a family gathering, a special event, or even weddings. Kim’s ability to make everyone feel at ease, especially kids, results in genuine smiles and laughter in every shot. She offers both outdoor and studio sessions, so you have the flexibility to choose the perfect setting for your photos. www.kimhearts.com

Lacey of Lacey Erika Photography

Lacey is a rising star in the local photography scene, beloved by many in Jacksonville. Her style is light, airy, and beautifully natural. She has a knack for making families feel like stars, even when things seem chaotic. Her patience and down-to-earth personality ensure that your family feels comfortable and happy during the session.

Madeline of Infinite Focus Photography

Madeline, based in Fernandina Beach, specializes in baby, maternity, wedding, and family photography. Although I haven’t personally worked with her yet, her portfolio is stunning. Her use of earthy tones and natural light creates a warm, inviting atmosphere in every photo. Her ability to highlight the unique beauty of each family member makes her work truly special. www.infinitefocusphotography.com

Jen of B. Lovely Photography

Jen’s photography is perfect for those who love bright, airy, outdoor photos. She captures natural light beautifully, ensuring that her subjects shine. Jen believes in breaking away from stiff, generic poses and instead focuses on capturing what feels natural and authentic for your family. Her lifestyle approach to photography results in images that are not only beautiful but also full of life and personality. www.blovelyphoto.com
