Marco Island Family Photographer
I'm Kelly Jones, a Marco Island family photographer creating beach portraits designed to become artwork for your home. Whether you live on the island or are visiting for a getaway, every session is fully guided, from planning your wardrobe to your final reveal, and built around pieces meant to be lived with rather than stored on a hard drive. Many families from Naples also make the short drive down to Marco for its beautiful, uncrowded scenery.
Marco Island's wide, quiet beaches and warm evening light make it one of my favorite places along the Gulf to photograph families, from a baby's first trip to the sand to extended, multi-generational vacations. Marco Island sessions are offered as full sessions only; if you're visiting and would prefer a Petite session, Old Naples is just a short drive away.
We plan your session around your family, choosing the Marco Island location and wardrobe with your walls and albums in mind.
Your session is fully guided in beautiful coastal light, created to become art, not just files.
At your reveal, design software previews each piece at true scale on your own walls, in person or over Zoom.
Your museum-quality wall art and custom albums are produced and delivered to your door, ready to enjoy.
Beach and resort sessions across Marco Island, including:

Featured for several years in The Scout Guide, Naples, and an educator for Professional Photographers of America. Read more about Kelly, see how sessions become artwork for the home, or explore family beach portraits across Southwest Florida.
"We were set on a photo album walking into the reveal, but quickly realized these images need to be seen and enjoyed every day. We ended up with six canvas wall prints and I couldn't be more thrilled."Monique Z.
For senior clients vacationing on Marco Island, you're just a stone's throw from the beautiful 3rd Street South area, a dream location for your portraits. We combine beach and Old Florida vibes for an epic senior session, just a short drive from Marco.
Absolutely. Many of my Marco Island families are visiting for a getaway. We plan around your travel dates and the best light of your trip.
Yes. I love photographing at the JW Marriott on Marco Island, though many clients prefer the quiet, natural beauty of Tigertail Beach. Residents Beach is another beautiful location, reserved for island owners. Every client receives a location guide with sessions photographed around the island, so you can choose your favorite spot.
Any time. Marco Island is beautiful year round, photographed in the soft light of the hour before sunset and just after sunrise. November through January is our busy season and tends to book early.
Every full session is built around printed artwork, museum-quality wall pieces and custom albums. Petite sessions are my only digital-only offering, but they are not offered on Marco Island; if you'd prefer a Petite, Old Naples is a short drive away.
Yes, and they are some of my favorite sessions. You can see hundreds of examples on my Instagram, which I invite you to follow.
Marco Island is full sessions only, no Petites. If you're visiting Marco and would prefer a Petite, Old Naples is a short drive away, and I encourage you to make a night of it with dinner on our beautiful 3rd Street South or 5th Avenue.
