Our family photo sessions are quick and easy! Our approach to photographing families is to have fun. We like candids as well as traditional photos.

Christy wanted to document her family at this time in their lives as they build a house in DeLand and when the children are at this young age. Their property is beautiful and vast – lots of room for this family to grow and run!

In the portraits of the entire family together, it was easy to see that this family’s home is filled with love. The relationship between these parents and their children is such a sweet one, and the siblings are also good friends with each other.

We created some shots with every combo – Mom and Dad on their own, each parent with their children, each parent with each child, and, of course, the two siblings together. And of course, their beloved dog had to be included! It was such a joy to watch how they each relate to each other in their own way.

Your family portraits should reflect your family authentically and who you all are together, and your photo session should be an opportunity to create new memories, not just an obligation on the calendar. The Canovas Photography can make that happen. Contact us today to plan your family photo shoot. And follow along on Instagram.

If you’ve been putting off a family photo shoot because it just sounds like torture to haul everyone into a studio to stand stiffly side by side, here’s some good news: it doesn’t have to be that way! At our Orlando portrait studio, we believe your portraits shouldn’t just capture how you look but who you are, so our photos are all about authenticity. That’s exactly what we were going for in this family portrait session in historic downtown DeLand.

Kristen and West (or Mom and Dad, as they’re known around the house) are a delightful couple to be around. They both have effortless smiles and sweet and fun-loving energy about them. We had a fantastic time creating special memories of these two, two beautiful daughters, and their baby boy who will be arriving in no time.

The downtown area created a stunning aesthetic, and we loved how the tree lights in the background came through. It was the perfect spot for urban family portraits, and this lovely family made it look even better.

In the portraits of the entire family together, it was easy to see that this family’s home is filled with love. The relationship between these parents and their girls is such a sweet one, and their baby boy is one lucky little guy already.

To create a special homage to each relationship within the family, we created some shots with every combo – Mom and Dad on their own, each parent with their girls, each parent with each daughter, and, of course, the two sisters together. It was such a joy to watch how they each relate to each other in their own way.

My name is Kelly Canova and my husband Courtney and I are artists living in the great city of DeLand, Florida. Recently I’ve seen artists all around the world who have found small ways to give back during this unprecedented season in our culture and I want to do my part. As a photographer, I know that the best gift I can give to my community is to document our new normal. Part art project, part community service, this experiment is about capturing what makes our town so special: the people. This series is a collection of family portraits that remind us that while we cannot control the things happening out in the world, we can find peace and joy in the moments we spend in our homes with the people we love most. l love this town, and I want to gift you with the memories of these long days and nights spent with your loved ones.

DeLand residents: Let me know if you would like to take part in our project! The photos are a gift and images will be sent to your family digitally. Each shoot will take about 5 minutes and will be shot from at least 10 feet away, applying the current CDC approved guidelines for social distancing. Dress any way you like – fancy, as you are, or in costume. This is for you, so whatever fits you and your family works. Thank you! And be well. xo
