Updated October 2025 | Serving Orlando, Winter Park, Lake Nona, Windermere & Beyond
Family photos should feel real — easy, a little bit messy, and full of life. Around Orlando and Central Florida, there are so many places that let families be themselves: the tree-lined paths in Winter Park, soft lakeside light in Baldwin Park, warm golden tones in Windermere, and the color around Celebration and Lake Nona. Each location brings its own energy, but the goal never changes — connection over posing.
My sessions are calm, kid-friendly, and focused on what’s real. I’ll guide you on location, light, and what to wear so the whole process feels easy — and your photos look like your family, not a photoshoot.

Whether you’re visiting Orlando or lucky enough to call Central Florida home, your session should feel easy — relaxed, natural, and full of connection. I photograph families outdoors and in-home across Orlando, Winter Park, Lake Nona, Windermere, and New Smyrna Beach, helping you choose a setting that fits this season of your life.
From sandy toes at sunrise in New Smyrna Beach to quiet mornings at home, I’m here to document your family’s real, beautiful moments — the ones that matter most now and years from now.
Yes. Beach family sessions are available at locations like New Smyrna Beach, Cocoa Beach, Daytona Beach, Clearwater, Indian Rocks Beach, and other Central Florida coastal areas. Beach sessions are especially popular for vacationing families who want relaxed, natural portraits with soft light, movement, and a more casual feel.
Yes. Extended family photography is a great option for families gathering in Orlando, Disney, New Smyrna Beach, Cocoa Beach, or Central Florida for vacation, reunions, holidays, or milestone celebrations. These sessions include time for the full group, individual families, grandparents with grandchildren, couples, siblings, and candid moments in between.
The best time for family photos in Orlando is usually early morning or golden hour before sunset. Sunrise sessions are especially beautiful in Central Florida because the light is soft, the weather is cooler, and popular locations are often quieter — especially for families with young kids.
Orlando family photography sessions with Michelle Coombs Photography currently include petite and signature session options, depending on how much time, coverage, and final images your family needs. Petite sessions are a shorter option for simple family portraits, while signature sessions are ideal for larger families, extended family groups, or vacation sessions where you want more variety.
Yes. Many families book Orlando family photos while visiting Disney World, Universal, or Central Florida for vacation. Sessions can take place at Disney resort areas, nearby Orlando locations, vacation rentals, or beach locations depending on your schedule and the look you want for your photos.
Some of my favorite Orlando family photo locations include Winter Park, Baldwin Park, Lake Nona, Windermere, Celebration, Disney resort areas, and nearby beaches like New Smyrna Beach and Cocoa Beach. The best location depends on your family’s style — whether you want oak trees and gardens, lakeside light, colorful Central Florida neighborhoods, or a relaxed beach session.
We chose to use Michelle for our extended family photographs while on vacation in Florida. Michelle was such a pleasure to work with. She was punctual (early), communicative, easy going, and what really matters: the pictures are amazing! We’re having a tough time narrowing it down because there are so many amazing shots! Highly recommend.
She engaged with our kids really well and captured amazing images of our family, which isn’t always easy to do with a toddler who doesn’t stop moving! We will definitely book with her again in the future!
One the best photographers I’ve ever dealt with. Not only are her pictures high quality and absolutely gorgeous, but the spirit she brings to the shoot is so joyful and relaxed. I have one kid who does NOT like taking pictures and yet, Michelle’s fun antics made it so she was able to capture the biggest smile ever from a tough customer.
Orlando has endless backdrops for family photos—oak trees at Kraft Azalea Park, lakes around Baldwin Park, and the soft sunrise light near Windermere.
