Family, Couples & Sunset Beach Sessions on Florida's #1 Beach
Book Your SessionSiesta 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.
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.
Siesta Key Beach and Crescent Beach both work well, with plenty of public access points and free parking during off-peak hours.
Vacationing families, couples and engagements, milestone birthdays, and anyone wanting a quick, low-stress session with beautiful results.
Happy to send a style guide once you book — neutral tones and light fabrics photograph best against the sand and water.


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.
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.
Portrait sessions start at $300 for a 1-hour session with 20+ edited images. See the full pricing details or get in touch for a custom quote.
