Destination session · Key West, Florida Keys

Key West: your photo session at the end of the road

Victorian cottages with porches, streets full of color, a 19th-century brick fort and turquoise water. A Key West getaway we plan with you, step by step.

Three settings on one island

Key West sits at the end of the Overseas Highway. In a small area it packs historic architecture, Caribbean-flavored streets and beach, so one session can carry several moods.

Old Town

Wooden houses with porches, shutters and tropical gardens: charming backdrops full of texture.

Fort Zachary Taylor

A state park with a red-brick, Civil War-era fort and arches that frame you like a painting.

The park's beach

At the park's southern end, water and open horizon close the session in sunset light.

When to go and what light to look for

In the Keys the sun is strong almost all year, so we work with low light: streets in the morning or afternoon and the beach at sunset.

  • Season: December to April is usually drier and more pleasant; it's also the busiest time.
  • Hurricane season: June 1 to November 30. If you pick those dates, we book with flexibility.
  • Weather changes: to be confirmed

What to wear in Key West

Key West is relaxed and colorful. Think breezy fabrics and colors that work with pastel houses, red brick and the sea.

  • White, natural linen, soft yellow, light blue or coral.
  • Light dresses that move in the breeze; a second, more casual look for the beach.
  • Comfortable sandals for walking between streets; the photo shoes travel in the bag.
  • Matte sunscreen and a scarf for the wind.

You enjoy the trip; we coordinate

Some locations require a reservation, permit or entry fee. We confirm the current state park and city rules and coordinate it when you book.

  • Team travel: on request, itemized in your quote.
  • Any entry fee or permit is listed separately, in writing.
  • When we quote, we confirm whether hair and makeup travel with us or happen at your lodging.
  • We choose quiet streets and shoot only from public areas or where it's allowed.

Make the most of the drive through the Keys

On the way to Key West you can add a stop at another Keys beach, or do a short studio session before leaving Miami.
