Sarah Gray Photography

Sarah Gray Photography is Tallahassee based and specializes in family photography, capturing your milestones from maternity, newborn, birthdays, and beyond.

Senior, commercial, branding, headshots, and real estate photography. I love photography and I love people. It is an honor to do what I love and to help families capture timeless and joyful images. We can't stop the clock or time travel, but through photography we can "remember when" in a way like so many generations before us were unable to do. We live in an era where because of technology it's p

ossible to freeze an action by the millisecond, catch a rare facial expression, a one-time moment and help to paint the picture of not just what we looked like in year "x," but we can show a glimpse of our family's personality and the connection between us. I truly believe that photography is a gift and an investment worth making that we will never regret. Eat out a few less times this year and make custom family photography a priority in your home.

The part of the vacation session no one talks about enough: outfits.

I've seen both ends of this, and honestly, both can trip things up before we even start.

The first version: everyone travels from different cities, nobody coordinates ahead of time, and things end up looking scattered in photos - especially when you can't lay it all out together before the day.

The second version: matching outfits. I know the intention is good. But coordinating everyone in the exact same thing - jeans and white shirts being the classic example - tends to look flat in photos. A little stiff. Less like your family and more like a catalog.

The fix is simpler than most people expect.

Lean into neutrals and denim tones. These photograph beautifully in natural light, they work together without being matchy, and they hold up in a timeless way that won't look dated in five years.

And when you book with me, I send you Pinterest boards I've put together specifically for this - coordinated looks that feel cohesive and genuinely beautiful without anyone having to stress about it.

One of the simplest things you can do to make sure your images look as good as the moments they're capturing.

I almost didn't post this.

Our country turns 250 this year. I was in the middle of editing a gallery when that number actually stopped me.

I have four kids — 6, 11, 15, and 17. I've spent years telling other families that childhood is fleeting, that these seasons pass before you're ready, that photographs are one of the most meaningful ways you hold onto them.

I've said it hundreds of times.

And then I sat there and realized I needed to take my own advice.

So this summer, I'm photographing all four of my kids in what I'm calling Heirloom Portraits. Not elaborate. Not trendy. Just simple, timeless portraits that show exactly who they are right now — in the year America turned 250.

Because someday I want them to show these to their own kids and say, "This is who I was that year."

That thought made the decision easy.

I've opened a small number of spots for other families who've been quietly wanting the same thing. Details are linked in my bio.

The trip is already planned.
The people you love are already going to be there.

The cousins will be running in the sand. Someone will be wrangling the toddler. Your mother-in-law will have the snacks. And somewhere in the middle of all that beautiful chaos, you'll think — we should really get some photos while everyone is together.

That thought? Trust it.

You don't need a perfectly orchestrated session to get images worth keeping. You just need someone there to capture what's already happening — the real stuff, the in-between stuff, the stuff that disappears faster than you expect.

That's exactly what a vacation session is. Nothing manufactured. Nothing forced. Just your people, in a place that already means something, photographed with real care.

If your family has a trip to the Forgotten Coast coming up and that thought has crossed your mind — I'd love to chat. Inquiries are open in my bio.

When was the last time you looked at an old family photo and thought, 'I wish fewer people were in this'?

Probably never.

That is exactly why I always say yes when families ask whether they should include the grandparents, the cousins, the aunt and uncle who are only in town for a few days.

When you are not sure, say yes anyway. We will find a way to make it work.

A few things I want every family to know before a multigenerational session.

Start with the group shot - always. I photograph the full group first, before anything else, so every person in attendance (including the ones who drove the farthest) knows the most important image is already done. From there, we move through smaller groupings with a lighter energy.

Tell me about mobility before we choose a location. If a grandparent or family member has any physical considerations, I need to know before we land on a spot. There is always a way to create beautiful images that honor everyone present - I just need to know what we are working with so I can plan for it.

Mornings are almost always better for the little ones. Babies and toddlers are near-universally happier before the afternoon hits. When multiple generations are present, timing the session well makes a real difference in the energy of the whole group.

And if there are any family dynamics I should be aware of - specific pairings that need extra care, or groupings you would prefer I not suggest - please tell me. It keeps everything moving warmly, and it protects everyone from an awkward moment in front of the camera.

Planning is how multigenerational sessions go well. I am always happy to talk it through before your session date. Contact me through my website, link in bio. Read more about Multigenerational Sessions through the link in the comments below.

You have been wondering whether to include them.

Maybe it is the grandparents and you are not sure they will want the fuss. Maybe it is a sibling you do not see often, or a cousin who just happens to be in town. Maybe it is someone whose mobility makes you worry the session will be more complicated.

Here is what I have learned: the hesitation almost always melts away by the end.

Nobody ever walks away from a family session wishing they had included fewer people. It genuinely does not happen. What does happen is that two years later, you are looking at a photo of your kids with their grandfather and feeling deeply grateful that you said yes.

When you are on the fence, lean toward yes. We will figure out the logistics.

I have four kids of my own.

I am not saying that to suggest I have parenting figured out. I am saying it because when you show up to your session worried that your toddler is going to lose it, or that your big kid is going to refuse to cooperate, or that everyone is going to look stiff and weird - I genuinely understand that concern.

I have lived it. More than once.

What I have also learned is that working with families as they actually are, instead of as we wish they would be on picture day, is exactly how you get photos that feel real. The beautiful chaos is part of it. I have a lot of tricks, and I genuinely enjoy the process.

You do not need a perfect family to get beautiful photos. You just need a photographer who knows what she is doing.

I photographed the same extended family twice.

The first time, it rained. They were troopers about it. We had already scoped out a covered porch at the location just in case the weather had other ideas, and that porch became our backdrop. We made something beautiful out of what could have been a wash.

The second time, they came back with new additions. Beach house on Alligator Point. Grandparents out on the water with the grandchildren. Big group moments and smaller family units. Easy, relaxed, and real.

What I remember most about both sessions is the feeling at the end. A kind of collective exhale. Like everyone knew they had just done something that mattered and would keep mattering long after that day.

That is the thing about showing up even when the conditions are not perfect. The photos do not know it rained. Read more about Mulitgenerational Family Photos on the blog. Link in first comment.
