As a photographer who has spent many years capturing families, and as a mother and grandmother myself, I understand how quickly time moves. One season fades into the next, and before we know it, the kids are older, routines have shifted, and another year has slipped by. That is why holiday sessions for families are so close to my heart. They are not just about taking pictures. They are about creating space to slow down, be present with one another, and preserve the love and connection that define your family right now. These moments matter, and they deserve to be remembered.

What to Expect from Your Session


Holiday sessions are relaxed and designed to feel natural and comfortable for your whole family. Whether we are outdoors surrounded by the beauty of the season or indoors in a cozy setting, my goal is to create an experience where your family can simply be yourselves. I guide you gently throughout the session, helping you feel at ease so I can capture genuine interactions and heartfelt moments that reflect the unique bond you share.

Why This Season Matters


The holiday season is already full of emotion and tradition, which makes it the perfect time to reflect on what matters most. I often hear from families who regret not taking the time for photos sooner. The truth is, there will never be a perfect moment to do it. There is only now. Your children are growing. Your family dynamic is shifting. And one day, you will look back and be so glad you captured this season, just as it was. These images also make meaningful gifts for loved ones and are a beautiful way to personalize holiday cards in a way that truly reflects who you are.

Booking Your Session


Because the holiday season is such a busy time for everyone, holiday sessions for families tend to fill up quickly. If you are considering booking, I encourage you to reach out early. You do not need matching outfits or a perfect plan. Come as you are. I will take care of the details and help you feel confident and cared for throughout the process.

Kind Words

“Janice exceeded my hopes for a professional family photo session at Edisto Beach, while encouraging us all to have fun as she clicked away! Janice has a great photographer’s eye! She and her assistant, Allie, worked perfectly together to persuade even the littlest grandkids to smile and look at the camera in unison! I highly recommend Janice Jones Photography”
