Alice’s Senior photos speak for themselves. A beautiful girl with an even more beautiful spirit. When Alice asked if we could do her senior photos at Beer Can Island I was ecstatic. It felt like a Florida rite of passage to trek through the grove of downed mangroves to reach this secluded beach. Huge driftwood...

Several years ago, a little boy shut down completely mid-session. Head down, done, no interest in my jokes, less interest in having his picture taken.
We gave him a minute. By the end of those fifteen minutes, he gave me the most genuine smile I`ve ever caught on camera.
That`s what a mini session can hold, real moments, not posed ones. 2026 Holiday Mini Sessions are open for booking now. Limited dates, favorite Sarasota spots, galleries delivered in time for your cards.

Everyone else sees a pretty sky. I see a countdown.
This is what six minutes of pure chaos looks like. Don’t let my calm exterior deceive you. 😆🦆
Tag a senior mom who needs to see this level of commitment 😂

What sunset looks like to a normal person.
What it looks like to me: SIX MINUTES AND I AM NOT CALM ABOUT IT!
