Englewood Family Photographer

You’re all coming together. The kids, grandkids, and the new baby that everyone is excited to see. You’ve been looking forward to this week for months and in the back of your mind you think, we need a picture of everyone together!
I’m Stephanie Snow, a local family photographer who works with grandparents (and busy moms!) having exactly this kind of week.

I work with my husband, so one of us can keep the little ones entertained, smiling and looking at the camera when needed. We keep the session moving so by the end, you have the pictures everyone asked for, plus the one of your grandchildren on your shoulders that nobody planned.

until we reminisce about the “Good Old Days”

Being photographers in Englewood Florida, our favorite beaches are Blind Pass and Manasota Beach for your family photo session.

If you live on Manasota Key, we can come to your home. If you’re in town visiting, we’ll meet at your favorite beach. From couples to multi-generational families with the kids and grandchildren visiting, we have you covered.

FAQ

Englewood offers a blend of natural beauty and diverse backdrops, from Englewood Beach to the trails of Lemon Bay Park. Whether you’re looking for an Englewood engagement photographer, surprise proposal photographers, Englewood wedding photographer or Englewood family photographers – we offer custom packages for every client.

Top spots include: Manasota Beach, Blind Pass Beach and Lemon Bay Park. If you are renting a home or live on Manasota Key, I’ll come to you and use the beach closest to you.

The golden hour, just after sunrise or just before sunset, provides soft, warm light. As an experienced Englewood Florida photographer who photographs mostly at the beaches, shoots are scheduled either first thing in the morning or the last hour before sunset. While most families choose a sunset beach session, families with young children often like the morning sessions because their babies are more alert.

No. We are lucky that no permits are required for photoshoots or beach weddings in Englewood.

Beach weddings in Englewood are very popular. While there are a lot of places to have your reception, there are limited wedding venues in Englewood. If you don’t mind traveling a little, there are many churches, yacht clubs, and country clubs a short drive away and I’d love to talk over your best options. We’re here to help you every step of the way.

I’m happy to give recommendations for What to Wear!

For coastal settings: light neutral colors like white, beige, blue or soft pastels compliment the coastal surroundings.

For a park setting: Earthy tones like green, tan and khaki look great

My style is true-to-color and heartfelt. I focus on capturing genuine emotion and natural connection in beautiful light. I primarily shoot using natural light to preserve the real mood and beauty of each setting. But I also incorporate off-camera lighting at sunset to preserve the richness of real skies and our beautiful Gulf sunsets. The result is photographs that feel as real and vibrant as your memories.

YES! As full-service Englewood Fl photographers, we love creating custom art for your home. Whether it’s an heirloom photo album or canvases for your wall, each piece is crafted just for you! If you live locally, I can come to your home to go over your photos and help you design the perfect art display.

It’s best to book at least 1-2 months in advance for family sessions and surprise proposals. For wedding photography, we suggest you book 9-12 months in advance to secure your date. All sessions are confirmed upon a signed contract and first payment. As a preferred Englewood Florida photographer, I want to make sure you get your desired date, so book early!

During the summer rainy season, I try to block off two nights in a row for your family session, just in case a last-minute storm comes through. The rest of the year, I’ll always try to move your session to another day if I have an opening. But it’s best to schedule your session at the beginning of your vacation to allow for a backup day.
