We get it. Life can get a little crazy.

When getting photos done, most families expect:

To feel overwhelemed before the session even starts

To not know what to do with their hands

To feel awkward and uncomfortable in front of the camera

To wait forever to get photos back

To receive images that don't really feel like them.

What if family photos were actually easy?

A Family Photo Experience Like No Other

One that will have you saying:

Wow,

That was easier than I expected

Everything was smooth, simple, and stress-free.

Wow,

That was actually so much fun

We laughed, played & forgot the camera was even there.

Wow,

That really felt so comfortable

We never had to guess what to do—it was super chill.

Wow,

These photos are completely us.

Every image feels like our authentic family.

Kind Words

I cannot say enough good things about Josh and Early Bird Photography! First of all, I gave him a tall order . . .30 kids (they all go to the same school). He said he could do it AND he also did family mini sessions for 7 families. I thought it would be a disaster with 50 people running around. He kept everyone engaged and having fun. It felt more like a party than a photo shoot! AND the pictures are amazing! Next time we are in Santa Rosa, we will definitely contact Josh!

Earlybird Photography did a fantastic job with our family photos! They were able to capture genuine smiles and laughs from my shy 5 and 7 year old. They made everything so comfortable and I was impressed with every photo. Repositioning the girls to capture the side they were wearing bows, showed great attention to detail. These are easily my favorite of our family photos!

- Adrianna P.

Josh is such a talented photographer and has a really easygoing, relaxed vibe that makes for a super enjoyable, low-stress photo session. Earlybird Photography's packages offer such great value, and the photos turned out amazing — I couldn't be happier with the whole experience!!

Earlybird Photography has taken our pictures in Seaside for the last few years and has done incredible! We’re printed those pictures and they’re all over our house. Wouldn’t risk such memories to anyone else. Highly recommend.

Josh has been taking our family beach photos for a couple of years now. He’s amazing at what he does. Like, on your wall, art amazing!! My 3 kids always like to be extra silly at the photo shoot, but Josh handles all their sillies with ease. Great experience and worth every penny for the photos.

- Kim Z.

We have tried several different photographers in the area, and Josh is by far the best. He cares deeply about the work, and he is a true professional. He does great with families, kids, and couples. We will definitely be using him for years to come.

Mini Session FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions we receive about mini sessions.

Do you offer other types of photography besides family sessions?

Do I need to pay up front?

Your time slot is not reserved until this is received.

In the event of inclement weather, make up dates will be provided.

Galleries for Simple sessions are delivered within 2 weeks.

Every session comes with a private online gallery where you can download digital copies of your high-resolution images, share them, and order prints.

What should I wear?

We often get asked what to wear. It has more to do with what NOT to wear than anything else.

Once booked, we will send over a detailed style guide.

Here are a few tips to get you started:

• Avoid plaids, stripes, bold prints, and logos, as well as fine stripes and tight patterns

• We suggest solid, neutral, natural, or reserved/muted colors that show your unique style while letting you be you be the star of the show.

• Try to coordinate colors without being overly matchy-matchy.

• Wear something you feel comfortable in—if you don’t feel comfortable, you won’t look comfortable.

• Shop for your body type. Clothes that fit well are far more flattering than something a size too small.

What should I expect during a session?

We keep things warm, friendly, and casual. Most families say it feels like hanging out with a good friend rather than an awkward photo session where you’re unsure what to do with your hands.

We usually start with the formal “everyone looking and smiling” shots to get the posey poses out of the way. Then, we move on to fun action prompts that shift the focus from the lens to the connection among you.

Do you have any tips for family sessions?

• Make sure clothes are lint free, wrinkle free, and fit well in advance.If you’ve got young kiddos, come early and change them on location to avoid getting something on their outfit in the car (food, spit up, etc.).

• Have your kiddos practice NOT looking at the camera, pointing at the camera, or talking. Often, parents want “candid & natural photos” but then keep asking their kids to “smile at the camera.”

• Practice being present in the moment. Often in a session, the kids are doing what we need them to do while parents are busy directing instead of looking natural. Enjoy being with your kiddos—even if they’re acting a little crazy—and we’ll capture the authentic moment.

• Be prepared to offer your kiddos and/or partners a bribe! Getting ice cream afterward is always a safe bet.

What if it’s raining?

It is Florida, and the weather can change quite quickly. We have very few sessions that are actually rained out.
