Kari Rae Photography

I am a natural light and lifestyle family photographer in Sarasota/Bradenton Florida. I aim to create art out of everyday life, the moments you thought were too small, the times you didn’t believe you could re-live. I love working with clients who are willing to have a little fun and show up at their session as themselves. We will run around, be silly, have some sweet intimate moments, and always, always make some memories! · Kari Rae ·

Kim Markgraf Photography

I’m Kim, the heart behind Kim Markgraf Photography, capturing vibrant and heartfelt moments on Anna Maria Island and the surrounding areas. My love for photography has been with me for as long as I can remember, but for the past 3.5 years, I’ve been dedicated to telling the stories of families, couples, and growing little ones through my lens.

I live just 30 minutes from Anna Maria Island, so I know all the best beach spots for dreamy, sun-kissed photos—whether you’re looking for a quiet secluded stretch of sand or a stunning sunset backdrop.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m soaking up time with my husband, our sweet black lab mix, and our son, who is about to turn four. As a mom, I know how quickly time flies, which is why I’m passionate about creating timeless images filled with love, laughter, and the in-between moments that mean the most. Whether it’s a maternity session, a beachside elopement, or a fun-filled family shoot, I strive to make every session an experience to cherish. · Kim Markgraf ·

Kristi Marie Photography, LLC

Lover of life, dog mom, and a die hard Friends fan. Photography to me is one of the most special things that there is. Creating images for my clients to hang on their walls or browse through their album is like creating small time capsules. When I’m not behind the lens capturing your story, you can find me trying my best to keep my houseplants alive, reading, behind my computer editing with reruns of Friends or Big Bang Theory in the background, going on bike rides, exploring with my husband, or taking my pups Parker & Valor for walks. If you are looking for senior, family, elopements, or maternity photos with a natural vibrant style, don’t hesitate to reach out. · Kristi Marie ·
