Family, Couples & Sunset Sessions on the South End of Anna Maria Island
Book Your SessionBradenton Beach — the southern tip of Anna Maria Island — is quieter and less crowded than its neighbors, with wide beaches at Coquina and a walkable historic district along Bridge Street. It's a great fit for families who want room to relax before and after the session, or couples looking for a laid-back, small-town backdrop.
I'm based in the Sarasota area and shoot in Bradenton Beach regularly, working around tides and sunset times for the best light.
Sunset at Coquina Beach is a favorite — wide open sand and unobstructed Gulf views make for great silhouettes and warm light.
Coquina Beach for open shoreline, or Bridge Street Pier and the historic district for a mixed beach-and-town feel.
Families wanting a quieter, less touristy beach, couples and engagements, and small groups.
I'll send a style guide once you book — neutral tones and light fabrics photograph best against the sand and water.


Yes — Coquina Beach has a large public lot, generally with more availability than the busier beaches further north.
2-4 weeks notice is ideal for sunset slots in winter and spring, though I can often accommodate shorter notice outside of peak season.
Portrait sessions start at $300 for a 1-hour session with 20+ edited images. See full pricing details or get in touch for a custom quote.
