Siesta Key beach photography
Siesta Key Photographer
Family, minis, couples and sunset sessions on Florida's #1 beach, booked online, with photos the next day.
Photography on Siesta Key
Siesta Key's powdery quartz sand and calm Gulf water make it one of the most photogenic beaches in Florida — and one of the most requested locations for my sessions. Whether you're visiting for the week and want a family portrait to remember the trip, or you live nearby and want fresh photos for the year, I offer relaxed, walk-and-shoot sessions right on the beach.
I'm based in the Sarasota area and shoot on Siesta Key year-round, working around tide charts and sunset times to get the best light for your session.
Planning Your Session
Best Time of Day
Golden hour — roughly the last 90 minutes before sunset — gives the softest light and the classic warm beach glow. I'll help you pick an exact time based on the day's sunset.
Where We'll Shoot
Siesta Key Beach and Crescent Beach both work well, with plenty of public access points and free parking during off-peak hours.
Who This Is For
Vacationing families, couples and engagements, milestone birthdays, and anyone wanting a quick, low-stress session with beautiful results.
What to Wear
Happy to send a style guide once you book — neutral tones and light fabrics photograph best against the sand and water.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to shoot on Siesta Key Beach?
For small family or couples sessions, no permit is required. Larger group or commercial shoots may need county approval — I'll handle that if it applies to your session.
How far in advance should I book?
Sunset slots during peak tourist season (winter and spring) book up fastest — I'd recommend reaching out 2-4 weeks ahead when possible, though I can often accommodate shorter notice.
How much does a Siesta Key photo session cost?
A one-hour family session is $350 for up to five people (or $450 for a Friday–Sunday sunset), with no travel fee. Siesta Key minis start at $200. See every price, or calculate your exact total, on the sessions page.
How fast will we get our photos?
Within 24 hours, in an online gallery you can download and print from.
