St. Petersburg, Florida
Family Photographer in St. Petersburg
"They won't always be so little."
Jessi Carey photographs family sessions throughout St. Petersburg and Tampa Bay, Florida. On-location, natural light, at a spot that means something to you. Sessions start at $200 and include a full edited gallery with print ordering built in.
They won't always be this little. That's the whole reason to do this. I want to capture your family the way the people who love you see you - not stiff and posed, but mid-laugh, arms tangled, someone always half out of frame.
I'm not looking for perfect. I'm looking for the moment everyone forgets I'm there. Those are the photos your grandkids will find in a box someday and say, look how happy they were.
Family sessions start at $200 for 30–45 minutes. If you've got a big crew, multiple generations, or just want room to breathe, the extended session runs $350 for a full hour. Every session includes a full edited gallery, delivered online, with print ordering built right in.
You don't need to know how to pose, and the kids don't need to be on their best behavior. That's not the point. I'll guide you the whole time. Your job is just to show up together.

Questions
Family sessions, answered.
How much does a family session cost?
Family sessions start at $200 for 30–45 minutes. Extended sessions are $350 for a full hour — better for big families, multiple generations, or when you want room to breathe. Every session includes a full edited gallery with no image cap.
Where do you photograph families in St. Petersburg?
Everywhere — I'm a location photographer. Popular family spots include Vinoy Park and the St. Pete Pier waterfront, Fort De Soto Park, Gulfport beach, and Pass-a-Grille. I'll suggest a spot based on your family and the time of year.
Do you photograph large or extended families?
Yes. The extended session is built for exactly that — big families, group sessions, and multiple generations who need a little more time and space. Reach out and I'll help you pick the right fit.
What should we wear for family photos?
I send a full styling guide when you book. Short version: wear things you feel like yourselves in, coordinate rather than match, and lean into layers, textures, and solid colors. They photograph beautifully.
