Meet Abby | Siesta Key Senior Photos | Class of 2021

I honestly can’t think of many things that are more beautiful than the beach at sunrise. The serene tranquility of the waves lapping the shore. The cotton candy skies. The beach is mostly empty at this time of day. A few walkers and shell seekers lazily meander by. Long gone are the racous crowds and it’s the perfect time to capture beautiful senior photos.

When Abby’s mom reached out to me, she told me they would be visiting Sarasota from the midwest and Abby would love to have her senior photos taken at Siesta Key Beach(https://www.visitsarasota.com/siesta-key). Sign me up! I’m in!

    Meet Ellie | Class of 2020 | Downtown Sarasota Senior Portraits

    When I met Ellie and found out she was a pianist and wanted to include her music in her senior session, I was beyond excited. Meeting the next generation of musicians seriously geeks me out. Is there anything more attractive or inspiring than talent? I think not!

    I got busy planning her session and knew that the grand piano at Sarasota’s Art Ovation Hotel would be the perfect setting for our photo session. Not only do they have a gorgeous grand piano in the lobby, but they also have a funky painted upright piano outside. Rounding out our photos would be the eclectic and fun backdrop that is Downtown Sarasota and the beautiful Bayfront.
