Orlando Family Photographer

The Session Experience

I'm so happy you're here!

Whether you're booking in Orlando, Sarasota, Clearwater, or Jacksonville—every session is led by a Collective photographer who knows how to read the room, guide without pressure, and make space for moments that actually matter.

These are people I trust with my name and your memories. The result? Clean, consistent edits and a no-drama process that feels like less effort and more you.


How It Works

These sessions are designed for families who value simplicity, style, and meaningful connection—without the stress. We work with families of all sizes, from intimate groups to full extended gatherings, and approach every session with clarity, calm, and an eye for the in-between moments.

You won’t find stiff posing or forced smiles here. Just thoughtful direction, natural movement, and images that look and feel like you—clean, modern, and easy to live with for years to come.
Your session will be photographed by one of our Collective team members—trusted professionals trained in our exact approach. The final gallery is hand-edited in-house for consistency and clean, timeless results.

Intentional. Refined. Personal.

Our Approach

Extended family sessions are what we do best. From vacationing families of 10 to multigenerational groups of 25+, we’ve built a process that’s calm, clear, and quietly efficient. No guesswork, no stress—just thoughtful direction and clean, modern images of the people who matter most.

After 15 years of photographing families throughout Central Florida, we’ve refined a process that simply works—for us, and for the people we’re best suited to serve. From how we prep sessions to how we deliver galleries, every step has been shaped by real experience—not trends or what’s popular online.

You’re hiring someone who knows how to guide the session, read the room, and photograph your family in a way that feels like you—not a version of someone else.

There are plenty of ways to do this work. This is ours. And for the right clients—it works beautifully.

Michelle did an amazing job juggling our huge family and all our shenanigans!! Over 20 people in the group, and it was one of the most seamless experiences and was awesome at getting everyone laughing and giving genuine smiles!!! We all traveled to Florida from across the country as a family reunion and so happy to have her capture these moments!

~ Hillary Hurt

Michelle did an amazing job with our extended family photo session. They were incredibly patient and made sure to capture all the priority shots we wanted. Despite the challenges of coordinating a large group, Michelle made everyone feel comfortable and took the time to get each photo just right.

The quality of the photos is outstanding, with beautiful lighting and composition. We highly recommend Michelle for anyone looking for a skilled and patient photographer who can handle the complexities of a big family shoot. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

~ Leela Summers

Michelle came to St. Augustine to take pictures of my extended family. There were 10 people in our party, four of which were kids. She was phenomenal with the kiddos. She was so patient and kept them happy and moving. We loved working with Michelle. Our photos were just as we’d imagined. Perfect beach session!

~ Megan Coalley

Michelle was incredibly easy to communicate with via email, which I appreciated because I live in California and was coordinating a photo shoot for 23 of us when we were on vacation in Disney World. I was looking specifically for a photographer who could accommodate our big family - with photos of the entire group and individual family shots - while on resort and she did not shy away. I know dealing with a large group can be difficult along with Disney protocols, but she did so with patience and a smile. We had no game plan for the morning and she went with it. The photos were beautiful and everyone was happy. I couldn't have asked for me. Thank you Michelle.
