Sarasota beach photography portfolio

An hour on the beach, or a fifteen or thirty-minute mini session on Siesta Key. I keep it moving: everyone together first, then the kids on their own, then the parents, and the small moments in between. Most of these were shot in the last hour of light, a few at sunrise on Lido Key.

Six to twenty people, three generations, several households on one trip. The group photo takes the first ten minutes, then the grandparents with the grandchildren, each family on its own, the cousins, the couples. Lido Key and Anna Maria Island give a big group the most room.

An hour timed to the last of the light, on your beach. Alone, with a partner, with the older children. Silhouettes at dusk, close details, and a few frames in black and white, because skin and water read well without color.

Walking the shoreline, in the surf, under the palms at South Lido. I ask you to forget the camera and talk to each other, and the pictures come from that. Rings and details get their own minute at the end.

I hide, you ask, I keep shooting. Lido Key and Siesta Key at sunset are the usual spots. You tell me the plan in writing before the day, I wait up to forty-five minutes past the moment you named, and the session goes on as a couples shoot after the yes.

Baby showers, birthdays, small gatherings at the pool of your rental, brand and fitness work on the sand. Half an hour to three hours, quoted after you tell me what it is. The same hand edited finish and the same two to five day turnaround.
