There is something undeniably magical about spring on Jekyll Island. The soft ocean breeze, wide open beaches, and glowing coastal light create the most beautiful setting for relaxed, natural family portraits. I’ll be on the island next week photographing several families, and one evening session is still available on March 15.
If you’ve been dreaming about updated family portraits at the coast, this is a perfect opportunity.
Why Jekyll Island is Perfect for Family Portraits
Jekyll Island offers such a wonderful variety of scenery, which means your session can feel truly unique to your family.
Jekyll Island Beaches
The island’s sandy shoreline provides a soft, dreamy setting where children can run, twirl, and simply be themselves. The pastel skies and reflective wet sand during golden hour create truly magical images.
Driftwood Beach
This iconic location is known for its weathered driftwood trees and soft coastal light. It’s especially beautiful near sunset and creates a timeless, artistic backdrop.
The Historic District
For families who love a classic Southern feel, the historic district offers oak trees, charming architecture, and quiet pathways that photograph beautifully.
The March 15 session will take place in the evening during golden hour, which is the most flattering and luminous light of the day. The sun sits low on the horizon, creating soft tones, glowing skin, and that dreamy coastal atmosphere that makes beach portraits so special.
My goal during every family session is to keep things relaxed and natural. I gently guide you while leaving plenty of space for genuine connection—laughter, movement, and those sweet in-between moments that tell the story of your family.
The images from sessions like these often become some of the most treasured photographs families have.
Planning to be on Jekyll Island next week? A limited number of portrait sessions are offered during my time on the island each season.
One final golden hour session is available on March 15.
