You will see the islands are so natural with pristine white-sand and gorgeous teal water. My Sanibel Island photography include palm trees swaying in the breeze arriving from the Gulf of Mexico. Dolphins frolicking in the shallows and great egrets against the pure blue of the sky. My family photo sessions include children playing in the sand and running along the seashore with their parents. Here is a link to a recent Sanibel Island family photography session.


The driftwood and natural greenery provide a rich contrast to the bright sand for family photo sessions. Usually, a warm ocean breeze drifts in, melting away tension and bringing a sense of happy bliss. This creates great family photo sessions!

So much of Sanibel and Captiva Island photography involves natural light. As a result, wedding couples plan their wedding venue on these coastal islands. Their wedding photographs shows bright colors and green landscapes. Sanibel and Captiva Islands are located off the coast of Fort Myers. When I arrived from the north many years ago, I was fascinated to photograph weddings without artificial light. For over 30 years, I have created Sanibel Island photography for weddings and family sessions using natural light as much as possible.

Captiva Island Family Photo Sessions
Capturing your beach photography session is a special experience on either island. For instance, often I see people scooping up the most unusual shells that are scattered throughout the sand. Here is a recent family photography session on Captiva Island.
Similarly, the Sanibel Lighthouse on the southwest end can be a favorite place for sunrise photography. Further up island, the Chapel by the Sea on Captiva Island is a popular spot for island weddings with a minister. After that, you can get a sense of history as you tour the Chapel grounds. In addition, during the holidays, they put up a festive display of lights.
