Hey y’all!  I’m Calli Kennedy, and I’m a family photographer that covers session at the beautiful St. Simons Island.  Let me tell you, there’s something truly special about capturing families against the backdrop of this gorgeous location.  From the windswept beaches to the majestic oaks dripping with Spanish moss, St. Simons provides the perfect canvas for creating lasting memories. As a St. Simons Family Photographer, we (I say we because there are 2 of us to provide more sunset sessions for you) are here to help capture those!

Now, being a St. Simons family photographer isn’t just about pointing a camera and clicking a button (though I do a lot of that!). It’s about connecting with people, understanding their personalities, and creating a fun, relaxed experience that shines through in the photos . Usually involves ALOT of games for the little ones haha.  Think of it less like a stiff portrait session and more like a family outing where I just happen to be snapping some pics along the way. Hint examples, beach hammock session, park picnic, fly kites.

St Simons Photography locations

One of our favorite things about shooting on St. Simons is the sheer variety of locations.  We can build sandcastles at low tide, explore the driftwood-strewn beaches, or wander through the picturesque streets of the pier village.  I love when families have a special spot in mind – maybe it’s where they got engaged, or where they always go for ice cream.  Those personal touches make the photos even more meaningful.
We are often asked, “What should we wear?”  My answer?  Something comfortable!  Something that makes you feel good.  We encourage families to embrace their own style.  Whether it’s breezy linens, playful sundresses, or classic khakis and polos, the most important thing is that everyone feels relaxed and happy.  Coordinating colors is great, but matching exactly?  Nah, let’s keep it real.  Think complementary tones and textures that reflect your family’s vibe.

But beyond the clothes and the locations, what really makes a photo special is the connection between the people in it.  The genuine smiles, the playful interactions, the love that shines through.  That’s what we strive to capture.  We want your photos to be more than just pretty pictures; we want them to be a snapshot of this moment in your family’s story.
