When I tell you that for the first time in my career, I had an emergency and was so worried my session with the Garfia family would have been cancelled!

My son had a little incident. (nothing major but we did have to see a dr!) as I was heading out to the session 🤦🏽‍♀️ And right away I was scrambling to see how we could still have our session and so we decided for sunrise the next day because there was no way I’d get there by sunset.

I was stressing big time but they were so kind to reschedule and I was determined to get some amazing photos! AND WE DID IT!

Sunrise is just as pretty and gives you something more unique than the staple sunset. I love morning sessions too and this way you have the whole rest of the day to enjoy your vacation. Win-win.

We also saw lots of baby turtles who had just hatched and were making their way to the ocean, it was magnificent!

Nuevo Vallarta Family & Solo Portrait Session

Can you schedule a shoot for two different purposes? YES! Yes you can! So Dora and I bumped into each other outside of one clients’ hotel and I gave her my card. She booked me and we had our session a couple days later.

She wanted a session with her son and also of herself an I was about it!

Celebrate yourself too mama! I’m about that for sure!

Big family vacation at Nuevo Vallarta

There are big families, and then there are BIG families! I love all families and big ones seem to be the norm around here!

I’ll never get tired of photographing these families because I feel like for a couple of hours, I’m a part of the whole clan. Seeing, playing, photographing moments that happen right then and there. Never being able to be re-created.

It’s a magical feeling when I can capture a family truly the way they are. Smiling, having fun, and enjoying each other. Families full of love.

And every family is unique which makes each session feel new and fresh! I’ve photographed several families here on this beach in Nuevo Vallarta, at the Grand Mayan resort and it never ceases to surprise me how each session can be so different from the next.

Thank you to all of my wonderful clients, like this family, who trust me with their memories and offer up vacation time to get photos taken! Makes it so special.

If you’d like to have your photos taken while on vacation here in Nuevo Vallarta, Puerto Vallarta, Sayulita, Bucerias, and surrounding areas, please email me at hello@jackielamas.com so we can set it up! Sessions last a couple of hours and then you can enjoy a fresh margarita after!

Ito Family Vidanta Resort Nuevo Vallarta Family Portrait Photographer

Not only did I have the absolute pleasure of photographing the Honrado family, but the Ito family too! They are actually sisters who were vacationing together here in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico.

I'm so glad that Jo decided to do a portrait session to remember their beach vacation! I had a lot of fun and love that my clients are always the nicest!

Family Session in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico

I love being able to step away from the beach and take portraits of families at the resort where they are staying. It helps to really commemorate their time there and remember their vacation as a family.

In this case, Katy reached out to me and invited me to take these really gorgeous photos of her and her family! I'm so glad we met because she is really sweet and just the nicest! She is also a photographer in the Delaware area so if you are looking for someone to take family portraits - mainly maternity and newborn, she's your girl!

We walked a bit and then took many in front of the fountain at the entrance to the hotel which made a really nice background.

That's the great thing about visiting Nuevo Vallarta, Puerto Vallarta, and the Riviera Nayarit, is that there are so many great places to have your session.

It was a gloomy day but it made for such great colors and light. Thank you Katy for having me spend such a wonderful time with you and your family! Next time you come visit, it's tacos and margaritas ;).

Beautiful Nuevo Vallarta Beach Portrait Session at the Grand Mayan Resort

I love having the beach so close by! Makes it all that more fun when I have families who are from out of town come visit and take advantage of the view with a fun family portrait session!

Tere contacted me via Facebook letting me know that she and her family were going to be in town. We coordinated and I met them at their resort, The Grand Mayan, in Nuevo Vallarta. What a gorgeous location! The best is when the hotels have beautiful beachfronts to soak in the sunset! We had fun splashing in the water and getting to know each other a little better.

If you are traveling to Puerto Vallarta or anywhere in the Riviera Nayarit area, please let me know and we can take advantage of the beautiful views and get a sweet portrait session done! An amazing memory to take back with you from your vacation 😉
