Senior Portraits San Diego

Nina’s Senior Portraits | Professional Photography in San Diego

Senior Portrait photography in San Diego is especially fun, because we can go from a grassy field with big trees to the rushing waters of the La Jolla shoreline in just a few minutes . . . plenty of time to enjoy the best light of the day in both spots. For Nina’s senior session, we started at Kate Sessions Park and then headed down to Windansea Beach to watch the sunset.

I’ve been photographing Nina and her family since she was just a little one, and she has grown into a beautiful young woman like her mama, whose 18th birthday wishes for Nina said she’s “launching her joyous and commanding energy out into the world.” Congratulations on your birthday AND your graduation from high school, Nina!!

We finished up at Kate Sessions and headed down to the beach! I love the long-exposure shots from Nina’s session.

Had to take a little break to warm up. It wasn’t as toasty on the beach as it looks in the photos!
