So glad to have you here!

Welcome!

Hi sweet friend, I'm Kari
Your Anna Maria Island family photographer capturing warm, joyful, pastel beach memories at golden hour. Whether you're vacationing on AMI or local to Bradenton Beach, I'll help your family feel relaxed, connected, and completely yourself.

I specialize in capturing candid moments as they unfold naturally, retelling love stories and making family memories in a creative, artistic way. I understand how meaningful your photos are, and I strive to give you memories you'll treasure forever. 

When I'm not behind the camera, you can definitely find me enjoying time with my family. I am a wife and girl mama, coffee lover, beauty enthusiast and a country music junkie. I also have a soft spot for shopping, sweets and Mexican food. 

I adore working with families who are willing to have a little fun and show up at their session as themselves. Together we will run around, be silly, have some sweet intimate moments, and always, always make some memories! 

If you are in or around the Anna Maria Island Florida area, I'd love to chat!

Sunset Beach Family Sessions on Anna Maria Island 

Frequently Asked Questions

Best Time for Photos? Golden hour (the hour before sunset) is preferred to avoid harsh shadows and squinty eyes.

What to Wear? Opt for creams, khaki, or soft blue/green colors, avoiding bright, harsh colors and busy prints and if possible avoid black.

Location? Photographers often suggest beaches with less crowd, like Coquina Beach on Anna Maria Island or South Lido Beach in Sarasota to avoid distracting, messy backgrounds.

What if it rains? Photographers usually have backup dates or a contingency plan for inclement weather.

How long does it last? Sessions typically last 45–60 minutes, which is ideal for keeping children engaged.

What is an Extended Family Session? This covers larger groups anywhere between 6-20 family members or more (grandparents, aunts, uncles) and is highly recommended for capturing multi-generational memories.
