Naples Family Photographer

Q: How long have you been in business?

I have photographed families since 2011, starting in Columbus, Ohio and since 2015 in Naples. Along the way I have taught for Professional Photographers of America, been published numerous times, and been featured in The Scout Guide for several years running. I am also an Alumni Board Member at The Ohio State University's Fisher College of Business, and when I am not behind the camera, I am busy creating apps and working on outside business ventures.

Specializing in extended family photography, family beach portraits, and senior portraits across Naples and Marco Island

Welcome to a truly one-of-a-kind experience where your memories are transformed into beautiful heirlooms that you will cherish, always. I always tell my clients we don't just go out on the beach and take pretty pictures, never to speak again. Every full session client receives in-person design after our shoot to see their portraits come to life. During the planning stage of our session I am there every step of the way to help with clothing, makeup, and location selection. The greatest tragedy is being left with files on a hard drive. Let me show you how beautiful your family photo session can be.

Naples Family Photographer for Extended Families & Senior Portraits

Extended multi-generational family beach portrait in Naples by Kelly Jones Photo

Kelly specializes in luxury multi-generational, extended family, and high school senior portrait photography throughout Naples and Marco Island, working with families who maintain second homes or spend extended seasons in Southwest Florida. Her sessions are intentionally limited each year to ensure a highly personalized, unhurried experience with exceptional attention to detail, whether photographing large family gatherings along the beach or creating elevated senior portraits with a refined, editorial feel.

Every session is fully guided to create natural connection and effortless posing in beautiful coastal light. The final artwork is designed as museum-quality wall portraits and custom albums, crafted specifically for luxury interiors and created to be displayed and enjoyed for generations rather than stored digitally.

Your Naples Family Photographer for Beach Portraits That Become Artwork for the Home

I'm Kelly Jones, a Naples family photographer offering a concierge experience in luxury extended-family and multi-generational beach portraits across Naples and Marco Island. Since 2015 I've photographed families along the Gulf, from the quiet sand of Port Royal and Aqualane Shores to Old Naples along Gordon Drive and the beaches of Coquina Sands, creating artwork designed to live on your walls and coffee tables, not on a hard drive.

My work is deliberately low-volume and high-touch. I photograph a limited number of families each year, so every session is fully guided, from planning your wardrobe to choosing the light, and every full session includes in-person design of museum-quality wall art and custom albums, where the albums are every bit as important as the wall pieces. Whether you're gathering three generations on the beach for the season or booking senior portraits close to home, you'll be cared for from the first email to the final artwork.

You'll find full pricing and session details on my Investment page. Once you've had a chance to read through it, I'd love for you to reach out through Book.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the price range for a session with Kelly Jones Photo?

Kelly Jones Photo is a luxury, concierge experience rather than a digital-files-only session. I offer two options, a Full session and a Petite session, and my Investment page explains what's included in each, along with pricing and session details. Once you've read through it, you're warmly invited to submit an inquiry through Book, which comes straight to my inbox.

What do you shoot?

Mostly high school seniors and families, but I also shoot outdoor branding sessions on the streets of Naples, perfect for adding that Neapolitan lifestyle imagery to your business.

Where do you photograph families in Naples?

I photograph families on the beaches and in the neighborhoods of Naples, Bonita Springs, and Marco Island, including Port Royal, Aqualane Shores, Old Naples along Gordon Drive, and Coquina Sands. I help every family choose the location and light that suits them best.

When is the best time for beach portraits in Naples?

The hour before sunset and just after sunrise gives the soft, golden coastal light my work is known for. Naples and Marco Island are beautiful year-round, and November through January is our busiest season, when family sessions are at peak demand. During those months I offer Full sessions only, so seasonal families are encouraged to reserve early.

Do you assist with wardrobe for our session?

Yes. Wardrobe guidance is part of the concierge experience. During planning I help every family choose what to wear, from color palettes to coordinating rather than matching, so everyone looks cohesive and timeless in your artwork. You can browse my curated wardrobe looks on ShopMy.

Do you offer in-home design?

Yes. In-home design takes place at your reveal appointment after the session, where design software lets us preview your artwork at true scale right on the walls of your own home. For clients who aren't local, the reveal is held over Zoom; all I need is a cell-phone snapshot of your wall and a quick measurement, and your finished products drop ship directly to your door.

Do you photograph extended and multi-generational families?

Yes. Extended, multi-generational family beach portraits are a specialty. I regularly photograph large families gathering in Naples and Marco Island for the season or while on vacation. You can see hundreds of examples on my Instagram, which I invite you to follow.

Will we receive digital files or printed artwork?

Every full session is built around printed artwork: museum-quality wall portraits and custom albums, created to be displayed and enjoyed for generations rather than stored on a hard drive. Petite sessions are my only digital-only offering and are limited in availability based on the time of year.

How long have you been in business?

I've photographed families since 2011, starting in Columbus, Ohio and since 2015 in Naples. Along the way I've taught for Professional Photographers of America, been published numerous times, and been featured in The Scout Guide for several years running. I'm also an Alumni Board Member at The Ohio State University's Fisher College of Business, and when I'm not behind the camera, I'm busy creating apps and working on outside business ventures.

Our family cannot express how happy we are choosing Kelly as our photographer. We are from Kansas and she took pictures of us on our family vacations and even had them ready to go before we left. Obviously high quality and cannot wait for our finished pieces. If you are looking for an investment in pictures that are going to hang on your wall for the next 20 years, this is where you should go. Check out her Instagram for examples.

Kelly was a dream to work with! She is extremely talented, organized and punctual. Our location site was everything that she promised and more! Our photos were beautiful. She made our family memories to keep forever. We had our proofs just a few days later with an entire presentation to help us select the heirloom quality pieces we wanted. I would not hesitate in giving Kelly the highest recommendation.
Angie
Kelly is SUPER talented and her pictures are incredible! Her reveal of your pictures is unlike anything I have ever seen before! Thank you for the wonderful experience Kelly! ❤️
Maria
Kelly is a phenomenal photographer who is incredibly professional, responsive and talented. She took some amazing photos of my family who got together for the holidays. She made our beach photoshoot with 8 people, including our 15 month old girl, absolutely seamless. She also was flexible and worked around our very limited timeline during a very busy holiday season. During the shoot, Kelly helped us feel comfortable and capture some candid moments. She also provided helpful tips and clear instructions on how to position ourselves for best outcomes. The finished products were absolutely breathtaking and we all had so much pleasure looking through them on the big reveal day. Kelly was so kind to schedule the reveal just few days after our photoshoot so that we can be present in person before we left town. Kelly made our trip so much more memorable and meaningful. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for amazing family photos.
Alice

Kristin
We booked a last minute trip to Naples and booked Kelly after having a great experience with her 3 years ago. I didn’t know how she could top them pictures we got in 2018 but she did. Kelly is so talented and captured the most beautiful pictures of my family that I will treasure forever!
Kristen
Kelly is the best of the best. Easy to shoot with and her edits/photoshop skills are every bit as good as her photography skills. We were blown away both times that we used her while on vacation in Naples. Book early she fills up!
