When it comes to dreamy family sessions that blend nature, charm, and Florida sunshine, DuBois Park in Jupiter is one of my absolute favorites. Nestled right where the inlet meets the sea, this gem offers the perfect blend of coastal breeze, palm-lined paths, and that magical golden light photographers love so much.

Why I Love Shooting Here


There’s something so natural and relaxed about DuBois Park. Whether it’s toddlers dipping their toes into the calm lagoon, siblings exploring the boardwalk hand in hand, or parents sharing a quiet laugh as the sun sets, the park brings out authentic, joy-filled moments every time.


Every session feels a little different, depending on the light, tide, and season—but that’s what makes it magical.

Favorite Photo Spots


Here are just a few of the spots I love using during sessions:

📍 The Lagoon:

The shallow, crystal-clear water is not only safe for little ones—it’s a gorgeous setting for candid barefoot photos. We often start here to let kids warm up and splash around a bit.

📍 The Boardwalk + Inlet Rocks:

With its soft curves, sea grapes, and textured rock edges, this spot is a dream for family cuddles, walking shots, and silhouette moments during golden hour.

📍 Under the Palms:

Nothing says “Florida” quite like a shot framed with swaying palms and soft sand. These are perfect for intimate parent-child moments and seated group portraits.

📍 Historic DuBois Home (from a distance):

Sometimes we capture the home subtly in the background—it adds a sense of timelessness and storytelling to the image set.

Session Tips


  • Arrive Early: We often schedule these sessions for sunset or sunrise when the light is soft and glowy.
  • Outfit Ideas: Neutrals, soft blues, and earth tones look amazing here. Flowy dresses and linen shirts pick up the ocean breeze beautifully.
  • Let the Kids Play: Some of the sweetest images come when little ones forget the camera is even there—so I always allow time for exploring, splashing, and being themselves.
