Because life moves fast—Lets capture it at Jacksonville Beach.

Jacksonville Beach Photography

I specialize in relaxed, natural sessions that take the pressure off.

Whether you're searching for engagement photographers in Jacksonville FL, Jacksonville family photographers, or planning a beautiful Jacksonville maternity photography session—this is for you.

Here’s my promise…

You’ll walk away with more than just pretty pictures—you’ll have:

✅ Timeless images that feel like you
✅ A stress-free experience (yes, even with toddlers!)
✅ Expert guidance on posing, locations, and what to wear
✅ A memory you’ll actually want to frame, share, and treasure

Let’s Be honest…

  • Your phone is full of photos, but none of them feel “frame-worthy.”

  • Coordinating a family photo at the beach turns into chaos—and no one’s looking at the camera.

  • You just got engaged (or you're planning to pop the question), but you're overwhelmed trying to find the right photographer.

  • You took the trip, but your only beach photos are selfies or blurry shots from strangers.

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

  • TESTIMONIAL

    "Stop what you are doing, and book Hailee for any and all photography needs!! She is the best of the best! From the initial consultation to delivering our beautiful gallery, Hailee has communicated so well, made us feel so cared for, and gone over the top in everything. We couldn't be more grateful for Hailee, and we will cherish our photos forever!!"

  • TESTIMONIAL

    "I found Hailee’s page on instagram and reached out to her looking for a mini couples session! She was so prompt from the get go and super supportive! She gave so many great tips prior to our session and even rescheduled with us due to weather - we are from out of town so the last minute accommodation was so appreciated. I’m in love with our photos and would 100% recommend her services!!"

  • TESTIMONIAL

    “Hailee was very down to earth and quick to respond. She was very professional and thorough in her work. She even helped me with picking places to take pictures at. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her and trusting her was so easy and she delivered! I would recommend her services to anyone.”

  • TESTIMONIAL

    "We had Hailee take our pregnancy photos a couple years back, and almost three years later, I can still say I cherish and love them just as much as I did when I first received them! She makes you feel comfortable, gives you poses, and has her eyes set on capturing you in the best way possible. Nothing more you could ask for in a photographer."

  • TESTIMONIAL

    "Hailee took our maternity and newborn photos when I was pregnant / had my sweet son! She was AMAZING!! Always made us feel comfortable , gave us direction and guidance, and made the experience so fun!! She was so kind and patient with my 3 year old daughter as she can be very sassy and stubborn ! But Hailee was the best with her and with us!"

My Vibe = Natural + Timeless

My approach? It’s all about guiding you through your session while letting things unfold naturally. I want you to have those Pinterest-worthy shots but also all the candid emotions that truly show YOU. I LOVE natural light and edit to keep the colors true to what you remember. My goal? For you to look back at your photos and feel like you’re stepping right back into that time of your life—every little feeling, every funny moment, perfectly relaxed.

Why Beach sessions Make My Heart So Happy

There’s just something about the beach, ya know? The golden light, the sound of the waves, and those soft, natural tones that make everything feel so dreamy. I’m obsessed with the way neutral outfits pop against the sand and sky—it’s timeless and looks so good framed in your home. Think cozy & light. Beach shoots just have this related vibe that lets you be yourself.

My Promise to You...

It’s going to be relaxed, natural and totally comfortable—zero stiff, awkward vibes (you know the ones…we’ve all been there, frozen and wondering what to do with out hands). Not here! I’ll be chatting the whole time (seriously, I don’t stop), guiding with easy posing prompts and little things to do that actually feel fun. We’ll laugh, move around, and capture the real stuff—those in-between moments that make the best photos at Jacksonville Beach. It’s like hanging out with a friend…who happens to have a camera :)

Why I Adore Jacksonville

I moved to Jacksonville Beach almost five years ago, right after getting married, and this city totally stole my heart. Sure, I travel a lot (thanks to family spread all over), but coming home to Jacksonville always gives me that giddy, butterflies-in-my-stomach feeling. The beaches, the sunsets, the local food scene—it’s just the best. Plus, being outside in this beautiful weather is kind of my thing, so it’s pretty much a match made in heaven.

Speaking of local eats—Whether you book a sunrise or sunset beach session, you HAVE to check out these gems after your session and make it a whole date:


Homespun Kitchen - Coffee, avocado toast, wraps, acai bowls, smoothies (I always get the SoCal Acai Bowl, the Lily Avocado Toast with an Iced Vanilla Latte)

Vicious Biscuit - You can’t go wrong with anything on this menu.

Community Loaves - Homemade sourdough and baked goods. My favorite is their “Egg Sammy” on rosemary herb sourdough - add onion jam (they have good coffee too!)

Cinottis Bakery - Egg sandwiches, donuts, and coffee. If you’re one of the lucky ones - you’ve tried their seasonal pumpkin donuts!

Parlor Doughnuts - Flaky croissant donuts - I don’t know how else to describe them. Just know you won’t be disappointed if you’re a donut lover.

Breakfast (because who doesn’t love it)

Taco Lu - There’s seriously a taco here that everyone will like and their free chips/salsa are a total sell for me (tacos=life)

Dockside Seafood - Not only is the seafood here amazing but it also gives total Florida vibes being on the water. My favorite is the flounder basket with a sweet tea!

Angie’s Sub Shop - A top pick in our house!! You can’t go wrong with any of their subs and you HAVE to get a big ol’ cup of their sweet tea (local secret, their subs are only $7 after 5pm)

Hana Moon Sushi - This place doesn’t seem like much from the outside but its the best sushi in Jax! My favorite is the Sweet Mango Roll with an order of Spring Rolls.

Hovan Mediterranean - Gyro anyone?? A MUST when you’re in Jax. (closed on Sundays!!)

Lunch/Dinner spots…

If you made it this far, I hope I’ve convinced you that a Jacksonville Beach Photography session is a MUST. Whether you grew up here or you’re just in town for a visit—you will never regret the timeless vibes of a session on the beach. Reach out to me so we can secure a date for you!

XOXO, Hailee
