Family Photographer in Wilmington DE | Goodstay Gardens
Fall family photos at Goodstay Gardens in Wilmington, DE—capturing portraits for home and their new family business.
Looking for a family photographer in Wilmington DE? I photograph families at Wilmington favorites like Goodstay Gardens and Marian Coffin Gardens at Gibraltar. Sessions are simple and organized with clean, timeless edits that print beautifully. I also photograph families, seniors, headshots & branding across Delaware and nearby Chester County PA.

Since 2006, I’ve been photographing families throughout Wilmington and New Castle County, and as a mom of three, I know how quickly these moments pass and how much they matter to have printed and displayed, not just stored on a phone. My studio in Avondale, PA is a short drive from Wilmington, so a studio session can easily be paired with an on-location gallery session for variety.
Wilmington families often choose Goodstay Gardens or the gardens at Gibraltar for their mix of greenery, water features, and architectural backdrops that photograph beautifully in every season, but I’m also happy to shoot at a favorite local park, the Riverfront, or your own backyard if that feels more like home. Sessions typically run 45 minutes to an hour, plenty of time for family groups, sibling shots, and a few candid, unposed moments in between. I also serve families in nearby Chester County PA and along the Delaware and Maryland border, so if you’re weighing a few different locations for your session, just let me know what you’re picturing and I can help you pick the spot that will work best for your family and the time of year you’re hoping to shoot.
Every Wilmington family session includes a short pre-session chat about outfits, timing, and what matters most to you, so we can plan a session that fits naturally into your family’s routine rather than feeling forced or rushed.
