Lido Key offers a quieter alternative to Siesta Key with wide, uncrowded beaches — ideal for families and couples who want a relaxed session without fighting for space. It's also a short walk from St. Armands Circle, so we can pair a beach session with shots around the shops and fountains if you'd like variety.
I'm based in the Sarasota area and shoot on Lido Key year-round, working around tides and sunset times for the best light.
Golden hour before sunset gives the softest light. Lido's west-facing beach makes for excellent sunset silhouettes.
Lido Beach, North Lido Beach for a quieter feel, or St. Armands Circle for a mixed beach-and-town session.
Families wanting space to spread out, couples and engagements, and anyone who prefers a less crowded backdrop than Siesta Key.
I'll send a style guide once you book — neutral tones and light fabrics photograph best against the sand and water.


Yes — there are public lots at Lido Beach and along Ben Franklin Drive, generally with easier parking than Siesta Key during peak season.
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.
