Mini sessions · Siesta Key Beach

One stretch of Siesta Key, a handful of times

Every mini session runs at the same quieter Siesta Key access - fewer people, easier parking, and a short walk to the water. I schedule them back to back in the best morning and evening light, so arrive five minutes early and your full slot stays yours. Thirty minutes is $270, fifteen is $200.

Large families

Bring the whole family.

I photograph groups of ten, twelve, fourteen and more all season, and I know how to keep the whole thing moving. Everyone looking at the same lens in the same second, including the two-year-old, and nobody standing around in the heat waiting for their turn.

Large families book the same family session, an hour or ninety minutes. Add everyone who's coming and the calculator shows the full price before you book - no package tiers to figure out. Up to 20 of you book online. More than that, write to me and I will photograph all of you.

Yuriy was wonderful to work with. There were 11 of us - 6 adults and 5 children, and he made the shoot easy and fun. He was very organized, kind, and professional. He captured every shot we were hoping for and so much more. Yuriy is truly talented!

I am Yuriy, and I am the one who shows up.

No team and no assistant. I photograph every session myself. Ten years behind a camera, three kids of my own, which is why I stay relaxed when yours will not stand still.

Every frame comes back edited by hand. Backgrounds cleaned, strangers removed, light and color evened out. No watermarks, no rush fee, and the gallery is with you in two to five days.

Wow, I'm speechless with the photos! I was not expecting them to turn out so good because our little baby kept squirming - but he knew exactly the angles to take! He is very kind, polite, and professional, as well. He is interesting to talk to - and he does not rush your session.

Reviews

What families say after their session.

All from more than 90 five-star reviews on Airbnb, where only a family who booked and paid for a session can leave one.

I traveled to Florida with my girls & my mama for a quick vaca and was determined to get family pictures. 7 & 4 is hit or miss ages for cooperating for a photoshoot but Yuriy captured them better than I could have ever dreamed of. I would go back to Sarasota just to have him capture my family again & fully plan on it.

Yuriy is fantastic! He was very professional, he got everyone involved and took amazing pictures. He really captured the essence of our family. We have a large group but he was able to be flexible with us and get amazing shots! We highly recommend him!

Yuriy was outstanding! He was very patient with my 3 year old granddaughter which I am very grateful for. He was professional, pleasant, nice, and flexible. Our pictures are absolutely beautiful!

We could not be happier with our pictures. He made them fun and modern instead of the old school beach pictures. Highly recommend!
