Photography with a purpose
Photographs that feel like memories
The seasons that matter most rarely announce themselves. They are found in sandy feet, tangled hair, quiet snuggles, belly laughs, and the way your child still reaches for your hand.
My sessions are relaxed, gently guided, and centered on genuine connection. Together, we’ll create photographs that feel honest, artful, and unmistakably yours—images meant to be enjoyed now and treasured long after this season has passed.
All sessions include planning support, carefully edited high-resolution images, a private online gallery, personal printing rights, and access to professional prints and artwork.

FAQ
How do we reserve our session?
Your session date is officially reserved once your signed agreement and nonrefundable retainer have been received. The remaining balance is due one week before your session. After booking, you’ll receive a questionnaire and planning guidance to help us choose your location, coordinate clothing, and create a session that feels personal to your family.
Can we customize a collection?
Yes. Additional session time, finished images, outfits, and nearby locations may be added to most collections. Studio rentals, specialty locations, entrance fees, permits, and travel outside the standard service area are quoted separately. If your plans require something significantly different from the listed collections, I’ll create a custom proposal based on what you need.
When and how will we choose our photographs?
Within approximately 7–14* business days of your session, you’ll receive a private proofing gallery containing the strongest images from our time together. You’ll select the number of photographs included in your collection and may purchase additional favorites if you wish.
Your selected photographs will then receive my complete artistic editing and detailed finishing. Final images are generally delivered within three to four weeks after your selections have been submitted.
**Subject to change based on season.
Do you offer albums or prints?
Yes. Your gallery provides access to professional-quality prints and artwork through trusted print labs integrated with your online gallery. Clients can conveniently order prints directly from their gallery for high-quality, color-accurate results.
Custom-designed albums are also available for families who want their photographs preserved together in a tangible, lasting form.
Your digital collection includes personal printing rights, allowing you to print your images as you wish, though professional printing is recommended for the best quality and longevity.
How many photographs will I receive?
The number of finished photographs depends on the collection you choose. After your session, you’ll receive a curated proofing gallery from which you’ll select the images included in your package. Additional photographs may be purchased if you find more favorites you would like to keep.
How do I select my photographs?
Your private proofing gallery will contain the strongest images from your session. You’ll choose your included photographs directly through the gallery, and those selections will then receive my complete artistic editing and detailed finishing.
What happens if the weather doesn’t cooperate?
Florida weather can change quickly, so I’ll monitor the forecast as your session approaches. If rain, strong wind, or unsafe conditions prevent us from photographing, we’ll choose a new date without an additional rescheduling fee.
What if my children don’t cooperate?
Children are never expected to sit still or perform perfectly. Sessions are relaxed, gently guided, and responsive to each child’s personality. We’ll allow room for movement, play, breaks, and connection—the unplanned moments often become some of the most meaningful photographs.
Can we purchase additional photographs?
Yes. After viewing your proofing gallery, you may purchase individual images or discounted groups of five or ten. Every purchased image receives the same detailed editing and high-resolution delivery as those included in your collection.
Do you provide unedited or RAW files?
No. RAW and unedited files are unfinished working materials and are not included. Every delivered photograph is carefully selected and edited to reflect the finished style and quality of Jen Connelly Photography.
