Family Photography
The little moments are the ones you’ll want to remember.
The little hands reaching for yours. The belly laughs you can’t recreate. The way your kids run straight into your arms. The quiet moments in between all the chaos.
Of course, we’ll get the beautiful family portrait where everyone is looking at the camera. But some of my favorite photographs are the ones where nobody is paying attention to me at all.
My family sessions are relaxed, playful, and centered around the people you love most. No stiff posing or forcing everyone to smile—just a little direction when you need it, plenty of room to be yourselves, and photographs that feel like your family in this season of life.
Whether we're chasing golden hour in Fort Myers, running barefoot along the beach, exploring a favorite Southwest Florida spot, or documenting your family at home, I'm here to make photographs that feel real, timeless, and a little bit like a memory.
MINI FAMILY SESSION — $450
A little shorter, a little simpler, and perfect for families who want to document this season without making a whole day of it. Your 30-minute session includes up to 5 family members, one location, and one outfit. You’ll receive 25+ professionally retouched images delivered through a private online gallery with downloadable high-resolution files and personal printing rights. Studio fees are not included.
Mini sessions are not available for extended family sessions.
FULL FAMILY SESSION — $650
For families who want more time to slow down, explore, play, and let the good stuff happen naturally. Your 60-minute session includes up to 5 family members, with additional family members available for $25 each. We can photograph at one to two locations, and your final gallery will include 50+ professionally retouched images delivered through a private online gallery with downloadable high-resolution files and personal printing rights. Studio and travel fees are not included.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS FOR ANY SESSION
A signed contract and payment are required to officially book your session.
Final galleries are generally delivered within 30 days.
And yes, I love when my families include their pets! If they're part of your family, they're part of the story.
ADD A LITTLE NOSTALGIA
Want some of your memories captured on film, too?
Add 35mm film for $200/roll or $300 for 2 rolls.
There's something about film that makes a photograph feel like it already belongs in the family album. I'll capture a handful of moments throughout your session on 35mm and deliver those nostalgic frames alongside your digital gallery.
“I’ve been following Valentina on Instagram for quite some time now & I won her giveaway at the end of last year. It was one of the best photo sessions I’ve ever had! My family and I wanted to capture the “Holidays in Florida” and Valentina let that vision take over. Her communication and skills were beyond and I genuinely cannot recommend her enough. For my family session of 6, she made each of us feel so comfortable and we all truly had such a great time!”
– Nala B.
“Valentina was an absolute GEM to work with. She showed up ready to snap photos of our energetic family and didn't mind our two hyper retirevers jumping all over her in the process. We shot our family session outside in the muggy heat, mosquitos included. She was a trooper and was only focused on capturing our crazy family in the moment. Our kids loved her. We loved her. The dogs loved her. Looking forward to more photos sessions with her in the future!”
– Kerry G.
“Adored the final product so so much and Vale was extremely accommodating to our hectic family plans lol 10/10 recommend to anyone and everyone as she's the best around!!!”
– Sandra M.
“Valentina is one of the most enjoyable people I have ever met. She's so comfortable and easy to work with, and has a way of inspiring confidence in you. She sees things you just don't about yourself, and hypes you into a laughing, happy mess. I've never had so much fun taking photos. I could never recommend anyone more than her.”
– Reign J.
YOUR FAMILY, JUST AS YOU ARE.
You don't need perfectly behaved kids.
You don't need everyone looking at the camera.
You don't even need to know what to do in front of it.
Just bring your people. I'll take care of the rest. ♡
