Best photographers in Broward County, FL (2026)

Andrea Harborne is a Fort Lauderdale photographer (her pricing page also names Marietta, Georgia) whose work splits between families, maternity, couples and corporate lifestyle shoots. Her Fort Lauderdale page sends sessions to four stretches of coast: Pompano Beach, Fort Lauderdale Beach, Dania Beach and Hollywood. Families choose between two packages that each cover five people, with $15 for every extra person. The Signature Collection is $365 and runs 30 minutes on a weekday for 20 high-resolution images; the Stylish Collection is $395 for a full hour with no cap on images and an outfit change if you want one. Both come with a portrait style guide for planning the session and the outfits, a private gallery to share, and full printing rights. Her FAQ points families to the 60 minutes before sunset, has no indoor fallback, so rain means a new date (the retainer carries over for 12 months), and says galleries take two to three weeks on average. If she is busy on your date, one of her associates photographs the session and she edits it herself.

Headshots Fort Lauderdale belongs to SpiritLed Studios and keeps a studio in Fort Lauderdale, from which it travels to offices, annual meetings, trade shows, conferences and conventions in Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties. Its offer comes in three forms. Event leaders and sponsors can bring in a Convention Headshot Lounge, an attendee perk with branded galleries and, if wanted, participation and delivery metrics; at the 2026 PRIMA convention the site says it photographed roughly 400 people. Companies can schedule a Company Picture Day at the workplace, with a fixed visual standard so that hires who join later still match the team page. And individuals book the studio: the $275 Modern Session covers one look, while the $475 Signature Headshot Session leaves time for several. Every sitting runs through the same five steps, starting with what the photo is for, coaching expression through conversation instead of stock poses, reviewing frames until the sitter is happy and retouching without erasing character. Lounge and team prices aren’t published.

Dov Gurewicz has been photographing and filming around South Florida since 2017. His photography page names Hollywood, Miami and Fort Lauderdale as home base, and his studio is in Davie, where he shoots headshots and portraits when they aren’t done on location. The photo work he lists runs from weddings and engagements, headshots and portraits to listings, product and brand photos, parties and corporate events, dishes and restaurant interiors, travel, and drone aerials for property and events; one case study on his site follows an engagement session at the Dania Beach Pier, and his Hollywood projects include Chaminade-Madonna College Preparatory and the Shorashim youth center. He directs every project and is usually the one behind the camera. For a smaller budget, a vetted crew can shoot while he directs and edits, and he asks for the budget in your first message so he can say which route fits. Clients who need video too can book both, so one day covers stills and film. Reviews quoted on his photo page describe choosing and editing a headshot together in the studio.

Forest Johnson was born in Miami, is based in Fort Lauderdale and has lived around boats his whole life: his father designed and built Prowler boats, and after his father’s death in 1971 he ran the business and photographed its boats himself. He then spent eight years as advertising and sales promotion manager at Bertram Yacht before turning full time to location and aerial photography for the marine industry in 1986. He counts more than 1,700 magazine covers and the Bahamas’ Cacique award as International Photographer of the Year, and his homepage carries a note from Boating Magazine’s publisher saying the magazine used him for almost two decades. His galleries move from small and large boats to superyachts and their interiors, with lifestyle, scenic and special-event work besides, and he shoots film as well as stills. He is a licensed pilot and certified scuba diver with BOSIET offshore training. Appointments go through his contact form or by phone, and stock images can be requested.
