Let’s talk availability and investment.
Natural, connected family sessions on the beaches and in the heart of Sarasota — designed for relaxed families who want real moments, not perfect poses.
Each Collective session in Sarasota is photographed by a trusted team associate who brings the same calm, lightly guided approach that defines our work. These photographers are not just technically skilled—they’re kind, unflappable, and tuned in to what makes families feel at ease.
When you're visiting Sarasota with your crew—or lucky enough to live here full time—you deserve more than stiff poses and cookie-cutter shots. These sessions are about warmth, rhythm, and relationships. Whether you’re running barefoot on Siesta Key or gathered in a quiet garden near Lido, I’ll guide your family with simple prompts and calm direction to create something meaningful and modern.
These aren’t “everyone smile at the camera” sessions. They’re about real moments that you’ll actually want on your walls.
This isn’t about performing for the camera—it’s about freezing time before your kids get bigger, your routines shift, or your beach trips blur together.
We build each session around your family, not the other way around. If your kid won’t sit still or someone shows up barefoot, that’s fine. That’s real life—and honestly, it usually photographs better. We don’t over-pose or micro-manage. We give just enough direction to keep things moving and leave room for the natural stuff to show up.
Every gallery is fully edited in-house to keep your images consistent no matter which Collective photographer you’re matched with. Whether it’s a full hour or a quick 20-minute session, the goal stays the same: photos that feel like your family—not a checklist of Pinterest poses.
Beach photos that feel like your family—not a performance.

Ready to plan your Sarasota session? Whether you're a local or visiting for the week, let’s create something meaningful.
We’ve photographed families all across Florida, but Sarasota brings something entirely its own. Maybe it’s the golden light off the Gulf, the slower rhythm of beach towns like Siesta Key and Lido, or just how easy it feels to be present here. There’s a certain ease in Sarasota that makes real connection happen—and that’s exactly what we’re here to capture.
Our Collective photographers in Sarasota are locals who know the beaches, the light, and how to work with your family’s natural flow. You won’t find stiff posing or over-edited filters here. Instead, you’ll get a session that’s calm, lightly directed, and centered on what matters most: honest, connected images that feel like you—frame after frame.
We chose to use Michelle for our extended family photographs while on vacation in Florida. Michelle was such a pleasure to work with. She was punctual (early), communicative, easy going, and what really matters: the pictures are amazing! We’re having a tough time narrowing it down because there are so many amazing shots! Highly recommend.
She engaged with our kids really well and captured amazing images of our family, which isn’t always easy to do with a toddler who doesn’t stop moving! We will definitely book with her again in the future!
One the best photographers I’ve ever dealt with. Not only are her pictures high quality and absolutely gorgeous, but the spirit she brings to the shoot is so joyful and relaxed. I have one kid who does NOT like taking pictures and yet, Michelle’s fun antics made it so she was able to capture the biggest smile ever from a tough customer.
