There’s nothing more heartwarming than the love of a mother. We got to see it firsthand on a lovely sunny day spent with Ebony and her family at Hammock Resort in Palm Coast. Hammock Beach Resort is known for its stunning facilities and excellent hospitality, but to us, it’s more than that. It’s the perfect backdrop for a joyful family photo session.

Coordinating but not Matching Outfits

We’re often asked how to dress for a family photo session. The clothes worn by Ebony and her family are a perfect example of outfits that coordinate nicely but aren’t too matchy-matchy. The white theme stands out beautifully against the bright blue skies, and each person looks great in an outfit that shows off their sense of style.

A Combination of Candid and Posed Photos

Ebony’s children were a joy to photograph. As you can see from the photos, they have tons of personality, and Ebony is a lovely subject! We love capturing a combination of posed family photos and unposed candid photos. The results are photos that look very natural and give you a peak into the fun life of this young family. The time we spent with Ebony and her kids was so much fun. We love any opportunity to be around a happy family!

Family photo sessions are some of our favorites because the energy is always positive! Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of photographing the same families over and over again. It’s so fun to watch kids grow up! This particular photoshoot took place at Hammock Beach Resort in Palm Coast. But we’ve had the privilege to travel to beaches and other beautiful locations all over Central Florida.

If you’d like to schedule a family photo session in Central Florida, we’d love to help! Contact us anytime to schedule your photoshoot or learn more about our rates and services.

A Bond Like No Other: Extended Family Portraits at the Reunion Resort and Golf Club

Check out extended family portraits taken at the Reunion Resort and Golf Club

Many of the families we photograph in the Orlando area are early in their journeys together – couples who are newly engaged, newlyweds, and new parents with young children. As much as these couples and families cherish their time together, they may not realize how much more difficult it gets to spend time together as their families and children get older. That’s why it was such a joy for us to photograph a genuine family reunion for a beautiful extended family who all took time out of their busy lives to reconnect.

This amazing family of over 50 (!) people came together at Orlando’s Reunion Resort for a family vacation, and we were honored to help them take advantage of their together time with a family portrait. Six siblings came together, with their children and grandchildren, and let us tell you, the love and laughter flowed.

With this large of a group, we wanted to be sure to get some portraits of everyone together, but we wanted to give individual families, couples, and family members some shots of their own too. After all, especially with all these little kiddos, how often do you get everyone in one place and looking their best?

We took the portraits in front of the resort’s beautiful veranda. The water feature and flowers along the wall made for a lovely backdrop, but of course, the spotlight was all on these gorgeous faces. With a family this large, each person is living their own life with their own passions and adventures, but you’ll notice that there’s one thing everyone has in common: smiles. It’s clear that they all love each other and connect with each other deeply, and it was such a treat to be able to be part of their togetherness and share in their joy.

If you have a family reunion planned, take advantage of the opportunity and capture these special memories with an extended family photo shoot from The Canovas Photography.

Building a Dream: Homestead Family Portraits

As Orlando photographers, we’re in a field that gives us the unique ability to get to know our clients on a personal level and watch their families grow and change through the years. That’s absolutely the case for this amazing farming family.

We have been taking portraits of Erin, Jacob, and their kids for years. They’ve been on a lifelong journey to build up their farm and their home into the homestead of their dreams, so we love being able to take their family portraits at the home to get all their exciting progress on film.

Home-based photo sessions like this allow us to capture memories of families simply being themselves. These kiddos love taking care of the horses, playing together outside, and being their goofy and fun-loving selves, so we were thrilled to capture those energetic little spirits of theirs on camera.

It’s easy to see that this zest for life comes straight from Erin and Jacob. They laugh easily and embrace all the best in life, and it’s a joy to see them on this amazing farm that they are building one step at a time.

Of course, we had to make sure that we included the entire family in these family portraits. The two horses and the dog are beloved members of the crew, and we have to say, they’re not bad at striking a pose, either! We also took time to get solo portraits of each family member too, so they each had their moment in the spotlight and had a special headshot from this time in their lives.

This family photo session was one more chapter in Erin and Jacob’s family’s story, and we loved helping them commit the memories to photographs. As busy as life gets while you’re raising your family, remember that someday, this time will only be a memory, and portraits help you remain forever tied to the best that this stage of your life has to offer.

Yvonne and I became friends the day she called me from New York about her wedding photography. She and Eric were having a Disney Cruise Wedding (see it here) the week of November 10, which is Courtney’s and my wedding anniversary! She said, “This is meant to be.” And so our relationship began with two engagement shoots, (here and here) the cruise wedding, a Trash the Dress session and now for their beautiful baby girl. We met at Disney (of course) and spent some time together – it means so much to us to have loyal clients-turned-friends that come back for more, year after year. Thank you Yvonne and Eric! xo

Isn’t this a sweet family session? 🙂 If you are interested in family portraits at Epcot Theme Park, Disney World, or anywhere else in Central Florida, contact us today!

In our business we get to meet the most amazing families and were really happy to meet Emma’s. She wanted photos of her Orlando family reunion celebrating her parents 50th wedding anniversary! They were great to hang out with as they shared stories and showed that family accepts you for who you are, who would do anything for you and who love you no matter what.
