Are you traveling to Longboat Key for vacation? It's one of the best spots on this side of Florida for a family trip. It's every bit as gorgeous as Anna Maria and Siesta Key nearby, with way fewer people crowding the beaches.

And one of the best things to do during your stay on the island is a family photo shoot. After all, regardless of how old your kids are, they're growing up fast. They'll never be this age again, so taking photos to capture and preserve this season of life is important.

And with a backdrop as beautiful as sugary-white sands and the emerald waters of the Gulf, these will be some of the most stunning photos you will ever take of your family. You'll look back on these for years and years to come.

Hi, I'm Kelsey Jaeger. My husband Justin and I are  photographers in Longboat Key, Florida (we live just a few minutes from this beautiful island).

I spend a lot of time here photographing families and couples (as well as on neighboring Anna Maria Island). Our family also love spending time on the beaches here, and having dinner at Whitneys.

You just can't beat the lighting here during the sunset. Plus there are plenty of areas with stunning greenery to provide a variety of different shots for your photo shoot.

There are a ton of gorgeous beach areas to take photos at on Longboat Key. I love the north end which is called Gibby Point on maps and is sometimes referred to as Beer Can Island.

It requires a bit of a walk, but it has public access and an undeveloped shoreline surrounded by nature. Along with amazing views, you get lots of dune grass and greenery, along with some rocks along the shore to create a variety of backdrops.

Whitney Beach is also a good spot, with much less walking, and plenty of space to capture the perfect shot. Otherwise, most of my shoots on LBK take place right in front of my client's hotel or vacation rental. Or we can also head across the bridge to Coquina Beach on Anna Maria Island (one of my favorite spots with lots of room, lots of parking, and minimal walking required).

Send me a message using the form above and we can plan the perfect photo shoot depending on where you are staying, and what type of photos you are looking for!
