If you’ve been searching "how much does a family photo session cost in West Palm Beach," here’s the short answer: a standard session runs $250 and a large family or reunion session runs $380. Below is exactly what each one includes, what changes the price, and how families in Wellington, Royal Palm Beach, and Loxahatchee-Acreage are using these sessions right now to get ahead of the fall holiday-card rush.
Family Photography Pricing in West Palm Beach & Wellington (2026)
There are two straightforward packages — no confusing tiers, no surprise add-ons at checkout:
- Standard Family Session — $250. 45 minutes, up to 5 people. This is the right fit for most immediate families: parents, kids, maybe the family dog.
- Large Family / Reunion Session — $380. 2 hours, built for extended-family gatherings of 80+ people. This is the package multi-generational families in South Florida book when grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins are all in town at once — a Thanksgiving reunion, a milestone birthday, a family that flew in from out of state.
Both packages are one flat rate — the price doesn’t creep up because you added two more kids to a Standard session, and it doesn’t scale per head on the Large session either.
What’s Actually Included in the Price
A lot of local quotes list a price and then a separate list of things that cost extra. Here’s what’s built into both packages from the start:
- One photographer handling everything — setup, direction, and shooting, so you’re not paying for a crew you don’t need for a family session.
- Every raw photo delivered in under 24 hours. You see the whole gallery — not a pre-curated handful — and pick your favorites yourself.
- 25 photos edited from the Standard session, chosen by you from that full raw gallery.
- Location guidance for wherever you’re based — Wellington, Royal Palm Beach, Loxahatchee-Acreage, or the coast.
That 24-hour raw delivery is the part most families haven’t experienced with a photographer before. You’re not waiting two weeks to see if the session even worked — you know that evening.
What Changes the Price
Two things move you from the Standard session to the Large session: time and group size. If it’s just your household, 45 minutes at $250 is almost always enough — most families are surprised how much can happen in that window once the kids settle in. Once you’re coordinating multiple branches of a family, wrangling naps and outfits across three generations, or trying to get a genuinely large group looking at the camera at the same time, the 2-hour Large session gives everyone room to breathe (and gives us time to break the group into smaller combinations — just grandkids, just the siblings, everyone together — without rushing).
Best Times & Places for Family Photos Near Wellington and Royal Palm Beach
Session length matters, but timing matters just as much. Golden hour — the hour before sunset — is when South Florida light is softest and kids are least likely to be squinting into the sun. From October through April, that golden hour lines up with comfortable temperatures, which is why fall and winter book up fastest for family sessions here.
For families based in Wellington, Royal Palm Beach, or Loxahatchee-Acreage, we typically recommend a park or open green space close to home to keep the session low-stress for younger kids, or a short drive to the coast — spots like DuBois Park in Jupiter give you sand, shade trees, and calm water in one location, which is useful when you’ve got a range of ages to keep entertained between shots.
When to Book

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a family photo session cost in West Palm Beach?

One photographer for setup and shooting, every raw photo delivered within 24 hours, and 25 edited photos chosen from that gallery on the Standard session.

45 minutes for most immediate families. Large multi-generational reunions typically need the full 2-hour session to comfortably photograph everyone together and in smaller groupings.
