The Ultimate Guide to Sunflower Field Family Photos in Jacksonville & St. Augustine, FL

Nothing says golden memories quite like a family photo session in a beautiful sunflower field! If you’re dreaming of capturing your family with a backdrop of sun-kissed blooms, you’re in the right place. As a family photographer specializing in organic, timeless images, I’m sharing everything you need to know about booking a sunflower field session in Jacksonville and St. Augustine, Florida.

Why Choose a Sunflower Field for Your Family Photos?

Sunflower fields create a natural setting that enhances the warmth and joy of family portraits. The golden tones complement every skin tone, and the soft, natural light during golden hour makes for absolutely dreamy images. Plus, kids love the adventure of being surrounded by towering flowers, making the experience feel effortless and fun.

When to Book Your Sunflower Photos is Jacksonville and St Augustine

Sunflowers in Florida typically bloom in late spring through early summer (April-June) and again in early fall (September-October). To secure your preferred date and ensure peak bloom, I recommend booking at least 4-6 weeks in advance. Sessions fill up quickly, especially for golden hour spots when the lighting is at its best!

What to Wear for Sunflower Field Photos

To achieve a timeless and organic look, consider these outfit tips:

• Soft, neutral tones (white, beige, pastels) to complement the golden hues of the sunflowers.
• Flowy dresses for moms and light, breathable fabrics for the whole family.
• Earthy tones (sage green, soft blues, mustard yellow) for a cohesive color palette.
• Avoid busy patterns and neon colors to keep the focus on your family and the natural beauty of the setting.

Tips for a Stress-Free Sunflower Photo Session

1. Plan for golden hour – The hour before sunset offers the most flattering, warm lighting.
2. Bring bug spray & water – Sunflower fields can attract bugs, and Florida heat can be intense!
3. Let the kids explore – The best photos often come from candid, playful moments.
4. Trust your photographer – I’ll guide you through natural poses and capture the in-between moments that make your session special.

-And if you’re still reading…yes, I did use AI to write this post.  Writing blogs used to be so simple.  Pick some photos, narrow down to 1 keyword, write a few authentic paragraphs.  Boom!  Done!  Now, it’s become so complicated to get search engines to “like” posts that blogs just aren’t fun to write anymore.  So, while it’s inauthentic, doesn’t sound like the real Mary Huszcza of 8.08 Photography, and is pretty generic, you’d better bet I’ll be letting AI do this work for me so I can get back to what I love-photography and engaging with the incredible families I work with!
