I photograph every session myself. For a group this big you can also add a second photographer, for more angles at the same moment. It is optional, just ask.
How pricing works
For full sessions, the base price covers up to five people; larger groups are priced by headcount. Mini sessions have their own group limits and fixed Siesta Key times. There is no separate large-family tier - choose Family, add your group size, and the calculator does the rest. Ten or more of you? See how I shoot large families.
Why the calendar shows mornings and evenings
Beach sessions run in two windows: the first hour and a half after sunrise, and about an hour and forty-five minutes before sunset. From spring to October the Florida sun climbs high fast. By nine in the morning everyone is squinting, faces shine, and a child stops cooperating, so in those months I do not sell midday beach sessions. In winter the sun stays lower and the good light lasts longer, so the afternoon window is wider. If you want an earlier afternoon time that is not in the calendar, write to me before you book. By the pool at your rental or indoors we can shoot at any hour. Sunset times and what each month is like are in the month-by-month guide.
