As a Sarasota Portrait Photographer, I am right in the middle of an amazingly beautiful piece of Paradise.  This area provides an awesome backdrop for Portrait Photography, as well as a Wedding Photography.  I am also a Siesta Key Photographer, a Tampa Bay Photographer, in fact, I am willing to travel to any location in this area to get those perfect Gulf Coast Portraits.

At Gary S. Gillis Photography, we strive for complete excellence, quality, and total customer satisfaction in ALL of our Portrait Photography, as well as our Wedding Photography, Seniors, Children, Infants, and Pets.  My goal, as a Certified Professional Photographer, is to capture your most precious memories, and the unique personality of you and your loved ones, in creative images that will last a lifetime.

There are basically two types of Portrait Photography: "Environmental/On-Location" and "Traditional/In-Studio".  It is our preference to do Environmental Portraits, because the subjects are much more relaxed and natural in their own familiar surroundings.  At home, in the park, or at the beach will provide for a much more candid Photography Session. We do, however, offer a Full Service Studio with the latest state-of-the-art equipment to capture those perfect, Traditional Portraits that you and your family will enjoy for years to come.

Finally, it is our hope that this website, the ORIGINAL "Portraits In Paradise", will give you inspiration and a desire to make the right choice of a Sarasota Portrait Photographer.  There are many imitators in the area, so do your homework. Make sure they are a Certified Professional Photographer, and that they are willing to provide complete excellence in their Portrait Photography.  The links above will help you with that research.  Your memories are worth the effort to assure that you have selected the right Sarasota Portrait Photographer for these special creations and heirlooms.
