My name is Kimberly, and I am so glad you’re here! Fanciful Photography specializes in relaxed portrait photography of the tiniest newborns, babies, children, seniors, moms-to-be, and families in the Sarasota, Siesta Key, Lido Key, Longboat Key, Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, and surrounding Southwest Florida areas.
You have many options about who to hire for your photography needs. I am grateful that you have stopped by to get to know Fanciful Photography. I would love to get to know you better and to give you the best portrait experience possible!
I am a relaxed portrait photographer located in southwest Florida. I grew up in Sarasota and returned “home” after graduating from Florida State University with a Bachelor’s degree and from the University of Tennessee with a Master’s Degree in Speech-Language Pathology. I worked for over eight years as a pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist, primarily with infants and children.
The birth of my first child reignited my lifelong interest in photography. After endless webinars, seminars, online tutorials, and mentorships, I took my photography passion to the next level. As a result, Fanciful Photography was officially launched in 2009.
As a result of both my professional background and the experiences that come with being a parent, I am well equipped with the technical and interpersonal skills to provide a relaxed environment that fosters consistent, safe, authentic, quality images that will be the crux of your family’s story. I feel blessed to LOVE what I do. I genuinely look forward to being a part of making memories for each and every one of the families I photograph.

Fanciful Photography specializes in relaxed portrait photography of newborns, babies, children, seniors, expectant mothers, and families. Each portrait session captures the organic moments of everyday life. From the smallest milestone to the largest, simple, natural portraits of every chapter of life are created to help preserve your memories.
Newborn sessions showcase the essence of the newborn; the raw, the fresh, the tiny size, the squishy features, and the early familiar bonds. Most importantly, Kimberly provides a safe and comfortable environment during every session. Following your child's lead allows for candid moments and relaxed images for young and older children alike. Senior sessions capture unique personalities and showcase hobbies and accomplishments. Maternity sessions showcase the beauty of parenthood and are the prequel to the family story. Finally, family sessions are relaxed, emphasizing natural interactions and connections.
Posing and directing will be completed as needed to ensure the most flattering positions. The atmosphere will be easy-going and stress-free for all involved. The goal for every session is to capture the heart of who each person is right now, to tell your unique story.
"Kimberly is the best photographer you will find. She has photographed our family and children for many years. She makes it so easy with 2 young children and they immediately warm up to her and have fun with the sessions. My husband who also used to complain about picture day no longer minds it. Her pictures always turn out amazing!"

"Kimberly is amazingly talented and my children just love her! She has always been able to pull the best out of them and they love taking pictures with her. She is very laid back and goes with the flow and her photos only reflect her ability to capture the moment. Our youngest is drawn to her and doesn't know why but surely because Kimberly was one of the first people to meet her. Highly recommend!"

"What an amazing experience! Kimberly was just sensational, I just left everything in her very capable hands and the results were stunning. She made the session happy, warm and though the day was rainy and cloudy, the sun shown and the clouds parted just in time for her to work her magic. A truly great time had by all, even my husband, who has to be forced to take photos, was game. Thank you Kimberly"
