We are so lucky to have amazing clients who turn into friends and call us year after year to photograph their families. It’s so fun to watch these boys grow! Elise and Giovani have hired us for many years, and we have done lots of headshots for their company. I can not believe that their two boys are already pre-teens! You can see their first beautiful family sessions through the years here and here.
We were also happy to take some photos at their new beautiful restaurant Otto’s High Dive in the Milk District of Orlando!
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.
Ali graduated from Oviedo High School and is a student at Rollins College. She was a natural in front of the camera 🙂 That hair! Cocoa Beach was the perfect place for her Senior Portrait session.
This family was visiting from Colorado Springs, on their way to a Christmas cruise out of Port Canaveral when we met for this fun family shoot on a cold and windy day on Cocoa Beach. Love you guys!! 😘
We are so lucky to have amazing clients that turn into friends and call us year after year to photograph their family. It’s so fun to watch these boys grow! Elise and Giovani have hired us three years in a row, and we have done lots of headshots for their company. You can see more beautiful family sessions through the years here and here.
Lisa is my dearest, longest (not oldest…lol) friend. We’ve known each other since we were 14 years old. We both were pregnant with our daughters at the same time and still get together and talk frequently even though she is in Ohio. Her beautiful daughter Chelsea moved to Orlando a couple of years ago to open Avalon Exchange in Winter park (it’s a very cool store – check it out) They had an impromptu New Year family reunion with her husband Colin’s (see their sweet elopement here) family so they called us for a photo shoot, and we are so happy they did <3
I fell in love with Domi the minute I met him. I also loved these family portraits with him and his beautiful mother Aubry! We even got a few with the best grandmother, Gigi xo
We’ve been lucky enough to photograph this family for years – and every year for beautiful Scarlett’s birthday! ( See past photo shoots here and here) This year for her 5th birthday, her parents Jenn and Scott decided to go the Magic Kingdom for her birthday photo shoot, one of her favorite places. Her favorite ride is the Haunted Mansion, so we went there first so she could look “scared.” She was so convincing, I asked her jokingly is she knew someone who taught drama. She pointed to her mother – Jenn is the amazing drama teacher at Winter Springs High School! Thank you so much Scott, Jenn and Scarlette for including us in your family adventures! We can’t wait for the next one. xo
We love photographing this family – have done so for years. They are a sweet and fun family, with daughter Isabelle always ready to model-pose for me, in pink cowboy boots. Dr. Don and Dr. Jill are our favorite eye doctors – See them at Trinity Eye Associates in Oviedo.
I met Beth through her mother really – she was texting me from Connecticut for her daughter in Jupiter, trying to help her find a photographer for her wedding. I was in Sarasota visiting another bride that day and we texted most of the day, “Are you available that day? What do you think of Paradise Cove? What time would be a good time for the ceremony…?” Finally Beth and I met in person when she and her honey Jake met us Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. Big Disney fans, we were friends right away, Beth and I talking wedding details and Courtney and Jake talking helicopters and airplanes. Thank you, you two for including us in your lives! We can’t wait for your wedding. xo
How they met in Beth’s words:“Jake and I met at work. We both saw each other across the room and kind of locked eyes and smiled. It took us a year after that moment to actually decide to date, but we always talk about that moment on my first day at work, locking eyes and smiling like… We knew it was something special.
The best thing we love about each other is that despite the age difference, we have so much in common and have both never had so much fun in our lives. We love our life together. He has allowed me to find a happiness that I didn’t know was possible.
ILY is short for I love you. My parents have said it to each other, written it on cards and letters for 45 years.. And we stole it from them. They are the happiest and most in love couple I know. It worked for them, I know it will work for us.”
