Last week, I had the absolute joy of photographing Grace, who came all the way from Chandler, Arizona, to celebrate the beginning of her senior year with a dreamy beach photoshoot in San Diego! Grace is a dancer, musical theater enthusiast, flag football player, and tennis lover. She has a very busy year ahead of her!
Grace’s inspiration for booking this session was simple: “I love the beach and have always wanted to have a photoshoot on the beach!” she told me. She was the ideal model, and she loved twirling with the ocean sparkling behind her. It was the perfect evening for it, too. All day long I watched the sky, hoping for some sunlight glimmers, and by sunset the clouds had burned off, and it was perfect photography weather.
One of the best stories from our shoot was our little adventure with the lifeguard. He was hanging out by the tower when I went up to ask him if it was sunset yet—code for: “Could you move your truck so we can get our shot?” His buddy caught on and gave him a nudge, saying, “Dude, she wants you to move.” I guess he just thought I wanted to chat! It made for a funny memory everyone laughed about.
Grace, thank you for choosing me to capture this milestone moment, and congratulations on your senior year. I hope you soak up lots of amazing memories along the way!
