Sanibel Island, FL Photographer
Whether you call Sanibel Island, Florida home, you're just visiting family, or on vacation, a golden hour family photoshoot on the beach is something you'll treasure for decades. Beautiful sunsets on Sanibel Island, FL are unmatched and create the perfect backdrop and location for your family portraits.
My photoshoots are relaxed and playful. The goal is to capture emotion and connection so that I can produce art (AKA: images) that make you feel something. But don't worry, we won't spend the whole time snuggling. I like to provide a balance of emotive images and fun, lifestyle-based images.

Meet your Sanibel Island Photographer
Hey, I'm Sarah! Here to make your family portrait dreams come true!
I shoot all over Southwest Florida including Sanibel Island. I'm known for my bold, colorful, and timeless editing style and my ability to capture images that tell a story. Because I'm not forcing anyone to smile or pose, my storytelling approach to family photography is relaxed and fun. I like for my clients to play, laugh, snuggle, and explore the beach (or wherever their session is) while I document these moments and give subtle prompts to inspire emotion and connection.
The Photoshoot Experience
Here's how we'll work together to create your beautiful family portraits.
RESERVE YOUR PHOTOSHOOT DATE
After receiving your inquiry, I'll send over my digital booking brochure where you can view my availability calendar, select a date for your session, choose your collection and pay the retainer. At this time, you can also schedule a call if you prefer to work out the details for your photoshoot over the phone.
PLAN YOUR OUTFITS
Once your date is reserved, you'll receive my style guide which includes tips and recommendations for what to wear to your session. All clients (with the exception of extended family sessions) have access to my client closet and can communicate any items they would like to borrow for their session.
TAKE PICTURES
Woo hoo, the best part! We'll spend a beautiful evening together capturing some absolute magic!
GET EXCITED WHILE I EDIT
Turnaround time for my galleries is typically a few days but can be up to three weeks during my busiest weeks of the year (weeks with national holidays). Once your gallery is complete, you will receive it via an online gallery software. Next, you'll select the number of images included in your package. You can also upgrade your package and select more images for an additional fee.
DOWNLOAD AND PRINT YOUR IMAGES
Lastly, you will receive a downloadable zip file of the high-resolution images you've selected, along with a print release. You will also have the option to print images straight from the gallery.

TIME
When you're on Sanibel Island creating cherished family memories, you're on vacation time. No soccer or ballet practice, dinner at your in-laws or big work projects to plan around. When you show up to your session care-free, it shows!
Epic Locations
When you work with an expert family photographer, you're getting access to a world of knowledge. We know the area and what parks and beaches will create the best experience for your family session. With Chasing Creative, you can customize your family photography package by choosing the right location and duration. Our location guide lets you know which beaches have the best water quality and the best view of sunrise and sunset!
preserving memories
We've all been there. We get to the last day of our vacation and realize we don't have a single decent family photo from the trip. We try to prop our phone up or ask a random stranger to take our picture but it's no good. By scheduling time to document your trip, you'll return home with a gallery full of cherished family memories. Every time you look at them, you can almost feel the sea breeze and the sand beneath your toes as you listen to that warm gulf water crash against the shore.
