New Smyrna Beach is a quiet coastal town just south of Daytona, known for its wide shoreline, spectacular sunrises, and glowing sunsets. It’s one of the best spots in Florida for family beach portraits.

As your New Smyrna Beach photographer, I’ll make the process simple and fun. We’ll choose the perfect location — whether it’s your beach home, the dunes, or the shoreline — and I’ll guide you through a relaxed session while your family enjoys the evening together.

Favorite Locations in New Smyrna Beach

Smyrna Dunes Park - Located in the northern most part of New Smyrna Beach, Smyrna Dunes park is a 184 acre inlet park with amazing beaches, waterways, jetty and they have the only dog friendly beach in New Smyrna Beach.  There is a $10 per vehicle admission fee but it's so worth it :)  

Flagler Ave Beachfront Park - Flagler Ave in New Smyrna Beach is the hot spot for fun!  The beach is gorgeous, can be a bit busy sometimes but a great spot for families wanting some images on the beach and then maybe some near the small shops on Flager Ave.  Its just a quick walk across the street!

Canaveral National Seashore - A little drive south of New Smyrna beach is Canaveral National Seashore.  A pristine barrier island with gorgeous dunes and beautiful clay colored sand, Canaveral National Seashore is s stunning backdrop for your family beach pictures 

Sunset on New Smyrna Beach is my favorite studio—soft light, calm water, and space for kids to be themselves. I photograph relaxed, timeless family portraits that feel like your vacation: easy, joyful, and beautifully real. Planning is simple, posing is gentle, and galleries are delivered fast.

Why Families Love New Smyrna Beach

Best Time & Light for Family Photos

New Smyrna Beach is a favorite for family photos thanks to its wide shoreline, soft light, and relaxed vibe. It’s less crowded than nearby beaches, giving kids room to play and parents space to enjoy the view.

Sunset brings the most beautiful light in New Smyrna Beach — soft golds, pinks, and pastels. I’ll plan around tides and wind so your family session feels relaxed and looks amazing.

Session Spotlight

Recent New Smyrna Beach Family Session

This extended family session was all about connection — cousins running along the shoreline, grandparents laughing with the kids, and parents soaking in the evening together. We kept it simple: sandy feet, soft sunset light, and plenty of room for everyone to spread out.

As the sun dropped, the water lit up in warm pinks and golds. The kids splashed at the edge of the waves while the adults joined in, making it one of those sessions that feels more like a memory than a photo shoot. The gallery was a mix of big group portraits and candid in-between moments that told the full story of their time together.
