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 session cost?

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.
