Sarasota's Premier Senior Photographer

The I Family | Sarasota Extended Family Photo Session

Did you know that I offer Extended Family Photo Sessions? These sessions are the perfect opportunity to gather the whole family and capture your family legacy. Matriarch Janice arranged this shoot with her husband. their grown children and grandchildren. The results were not only gorgeous, but also super fun!! And not every location has to be some exotic or far away locale. Sometimes the best options lie right within your own backyard. This Extended Family Photo Session took place Janice’s beautiful community. With a lovely gazebo, parklike setting, and serene lake, it was the perfect backdrop for their beautiful family.

The fall senior calendar is filling up.

I keep my sessions limited on purpose. Not for exclusivity, but because every senior deserves my full attention.

This is Brook, golden hour at Caspersen Beach. If you`ve been meaning to get your Class of 2027 senior on the calendar, now`s the time. Spots like this one go first.

Link in bio to grab your date before the good ones are gone. 🤍

Yep, that’s me in there for about half a second. I believe in taking the trip, being in the photo, and not waiting for ‘someday.’ Also I photograph seniors in Sarasota, but that’s a whole separate post.

New here? Good.
No fluff. No filters. Just real.

I’m Michaela. I photograph seniors in that strange, in-between year. The last summer before the dorm room. The kid who still texts you the good stuff, even when she swears she’s too busy for you.

No brick walls. No “smile because I said so.”

I want the giggle. The walk that turns into a run because she forgot the camera was even there.

Real photos. Real teens. Every time.

Glad you’re here.

The best mini session photos never come from the "say cheese" moment. They come from the twirl, the giggle, the moment you forget the camera`s even there. 💛

That`s exactly what Holiday Mini Sessions are built for, real moments, not stiff poses.

Want first access before booking opens to everyone else? Sign up for the VIP list. Link in bio. 👆
