Apple Butter Photography is a professional photography company in the Key West, Florida area offering the best Key West photographers who have training and education in the field of photography. Our services are available on-location or at our appointment-based, private photography studio.

       

       We provide high quality images, comfortable sessions, and exemplary customer service. Our mission is to provide timeless images and pleasant memories that you can cherish for a lifetime.  We know that you have choices, and our goal is ensure that your choice will be us! Our lead photographer is a Key West photographer who has won several awards, had her work published in numerous magazines, other publications, and a book cover and she has thoroughly vetted our associate photographers. With several years experience in Myrtle Beach, SC as a professional photographer and local go-to for quality portrait sessions, she comes to Key West with a plethora of expertise in her field for the benefit of our valued clients!

​

      We strive to provide a magazine quality, crisp, clean, and natural color style in our images. This holds true in our editing processes as well. Often, clients do not want the images over-edited because this can cause unrealistic colors on the photographs of their loved ones. This is particularly true in senior or family portraits where it is desired to see the actual eye color, skin color. etc. Therefore, we tend to avoid extreme manipulation of colors, unless dramatic editing is desired or appropriate for the session, and focus more on minimizing flaws and enhancing the images.

​

      Here, our niche is people. We regularly shoot weddings, newborn photography, maternity sessions, family portraits, senior portraits, professional head shots, fashion photography, modeling portfolios and pageant photos, milestone sessions such as cake smashes, boudoir photography, birth photography, underwater photography, school portraits, dance photography, and Key West photography sessions.

HOW IT WORKS

Once you have chosen the session you'd like, go to the "book online" page here. A calender will pop up for you to choose your preferred date/time from our available sessions. Once you pay your booking fee you will be all booked and ready to go! After your session is over and your images have been edited (typically within the 2 week period with the exception of weddings), you'll get an e-mail with your images in an online gallery and from there you will purchase your images. The booking fee you paid will be used towards your purchase. 

 

Session pricing is here and weddings have their own pricing available here. 

 

Special sessions are offered with an an image-inclusive rate, such as the "locals Thursday sessions" and holiday sessions where a certain number of images are included and upgrades are always available. "Like" our Facebook page to keep up to date with all our special sessions!
