I LOVE photographing large multi-family sessions! I have such a great time and here are a few tips to help you have the best session possible!

Tip 1: It can be a little stressful gathering everyone especially little ones. It’s good to have eaten before hand or have snacks and drinks available during the session.

Tip 2: Let me do the wrangling and posing to keep it flowing quickly as sometimes the kids can get restlses waiting their turn. This way I can work quickly and easily if I’m the only one directing.

Tip 3: We’ll start with the whole family and then quickly go through each family to make sure we get that ONE group photo while the children are less tired of me lol.

If you’re interested in a multi family session, please let me know! I have special pricing just for you!

Even though it was drizzling, we were able to get some stunning photos of this cute family! Garza Blanca is situated to the south of central Puerto Vallarta with the ecological site of Los Arcos, where you can snorkel!

The beach is small but sooo beautiful! Usually you’d need access through the hotel however there is a public entrance close by. I’ve come here to swim and enjoy the nice pools they’ve created with the rock wave blocking things… not sure what they’re called in English!

Anyway, how cute is this family! A well deserved vacation after such a crazy couple of years!

This session was so fun! I can’t even stop grinning each time I look at the photos and remember all the laughs, jokes, talk, and just fire energy that these two had!

It was so great to watch two people be themselves in front of me and have fun with it. The conversation was fun, it was all fun! I was so happy to be chosen! Each session is unique with different clients and the more I get the honor of photographing such beautiful people the more I feel so blessed. On to the photos! If you follow me on IG then you’ve seen a couple but here are more!

Thank you so much T & V, you have a very special place in my heart!

Location was at Marina Nuevo Vallarta

Connecting with families is something I absolutely love to do! Even though the sessions now look a little different than before, we still have a great time chasing after little ones, getting real expressions, and smiling behind the camera when families are having fun.

Needless to say, I think we tuckered these two little ones out! Thank you Victoria and Cristian for trusting me and letting me photograph your beautiful family. This family visits us from Mexico City!

*Note: You’ll see a little sun and water logo at the bottom of these images - they were created for Bella Arte Foto which is our Puerto Vallarta local studio and is for national clients. Visit the FB page if you’re interested in learning more!

Families that vacation together stay together…

Can we make that a thing? Because let me tell you, every family that I have the honor of photographing is just amazing and when family gets together to vacation all in one spot, it’s even better.

Photographing vacationing families during these once a year, sometimes it’s more of a gap, makes the photos even more special!

Tracey, Bonnie, and Vicki: You three have such amazing families and thank you for trusting me even though it was super hot and really bright at midday!
