    Meet Gabbie | Class of 2021 | Sarasota Senior Photoshoot

    Meet Gabbie. Parrish High School Class of 2021.

    When Gabbie’s mom first messaged me, she suggested doing the session at their home, which also happens to be a farm. When most people think of Florida, they think of beautiful beaches and Disney. But just take a drive and soon you will be among tall golden grasses dotted with horses and cows.

    Their family home was the perfect location for Gabbie’s Senior Portraits. Here are few favorites from our session, including a cow photobomb!

        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!
