There’s something incredibly special about photographing a family whose bonds have deepened over decades. Recently, I had the privilege of capturing a family photo session on a client’s breathtaking waterfront property near Siesta Key—and this one was particularly meaningful, as it featured adult children who had traveled from different cities to be together.

The property itself was a photographer’s dream: a panoramic view of the water stretching out to the horizon, boats drifting by, and golden light filtering through the trees. Every corner of the estate—from the manicured lawn to the tranquil pool overlooking the bay, to the cozy dock—offered a picture-perfect backdrop.

This family looked like they belonged on the front of a home living magazine!

If you’re considering a session like this—especially on a meaningful property—don’t wait. These are the moments you’ll want to look back on, again and again!
