Multi-Family Nuevo Vallarta Family Portrait Session

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!

Molina Family Portraits Puerto Vallarta Mexico

Quick session with the Molina family! Here is what Lynnea had to say about the photos:

I LOVE our photos! Thanks so much for doing these for us. It's always kind of scary choosing a photographer with no personal recommendations to photograph your family (especially in such a special place!) but you really came through! I don't think I could be happier.

It’s always a joy when my clients LOVE their photos and trust in me even from far away! The session was absolutely fun and I enjoyed playing with this family!

The ocean was really showing off this day too!

Lam Family Puerto Vallarta Sunset Family Portraits

Sunset is the real deal here! You never know what you’re going to get however you know you’re going to get a beauiful sky no matter what!

TIP:

Start about an hour before the sun actually sets so that we can have enough time for different poses, the golden light, and allow kids to get used to me.

Because who are we kidding, kids run the world! 😆 Especially at my portrait sessions.

We got some great photos of the kiddos playing which sometimes is the only way they’ll participate some times. I love it more than the posed photos though!

Garfia Family Nuevo Vallarta Mexico

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!

Jeanna & Tom

Engagement session in the most iconic location in Puerto Vallarta? Sign me up!

This location has been blowing up on IG and I’m here for it. The downtown area also lets us use the local scene to add more variety to your shoot instead of just beach photos.

It was a fun session getting to know Jeanna and Tom! Congrats y’all!

Lauren & Mason Le Kliff Weddings, Puerto Vallarta

This venue sits at the top of a cliff overlooking the ocean. The waves crash into the side of the bluff while Lauren & Mason said I do.

Followed by a sunset session and dancing into the starlit night. It was one to remember!

Amber & Carlos Maternity Marriott Resort Puerto Vallarta

I absolutely was floored by how amazing Amber & Carlos look in these photos! We had to reschedule due to flight issues and rain and timing. But when we settled on a day and time it was absolutely PERFECT.

It was drizzling, and even at one point rained. Amber was going for a bright, soft, and relaxed look to her photos and I think we nailed it!

Which reminds me… I’ve gotta get these published somewhere!

Creating family memories at Garza Blanca Resort Puerto Vallarta

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!

Nina & Will Engagement Photography Villa Premiere Hotel & Resort Puerto Vallarta

I absolutely love a relaxed and chill session! Nina and Will were in Puerto Vallarta and decided to take advantage of the scenery and get their engagement photos taken. Which is the BEST IDEA EVER!

Obviously I’m biased! But seriously, if you’re in town and especially live in a place that doesn’t have beaches like these then you gotta take advantage and get some portraits done!

And with me ;).

Congrats to these two!
