About

We are an Award Winning Full-Service Photography Studio serving Sarasota, Manatee, and Charlotte counties on the West Coast of Florida. Centrally located "on the Island" in downtown Venice, we have just celebrated our 20th year in business.

Our Mission is twofold: first, to provide you with the finest photography available and secondly, to accomplish that goal in the most gracious manner possible.

We specialize in photographing families and their celebrations. Family portraiture includes weddings – with a combination of both traditonal Photojournalistic styles.

Our portrait photography is created by highly respected photographer, Kate Hill-Moore. Kate would tell you that she’s been photographing for approximately a million years, but that might be a slight exaggeration! The truth of the matter is that she has had lots of experience photographing everything from the smallest destination weddings and family portrait sessions to the most elaborate and formal of events. Kate has the perception to analyze both people and situations and therefore the ability to create the very best images for her clients. She can be contemporary, creative, funky, fun and full of energy or, traditional, reserved, classical, or all of the above! She loves to get to know her clients so that she can be sure to understand exactly what is needed in any given situation.

Working with Kate is office manager, Melisa Whitehead. Melisa, with her delightful personality, and her experience, creativity, and organizational skills is the perfect compliment to be assured that your images are even better than you ever imagined. Melisa is a remarkably skilled album designer and an oh so competent person to follow through on your requests – whether it be an online order or a consultation in the studio. Whatever is appropriate, Melisa and Kate are there to be certain your experience with Island Photographics is completed in the very best way imaginable.
