Violinist Senior Portraits on Coronado | San Diego Photography

My friend Amy and her husband and kids come back to San Diego each year to see family, and, lately, to do senior photos at the beach! Last year I got to photograph the whole extended family and especially Luke’s older sister Mia, and this time it was Luke’s turn. An accomplished violinist and pianist, Luke has a bright future ahead in music. We incorporated his violin into his senior portraits and leaned into the formal look for his auditions, and then he switched to shorts for some relaxed beach images at the end. come back to San Diego each year to see family, and, lately, to do senior photos at the beach!

Luke’s cousins and sister were on site, so we grabbed some fun shots of them while we waited for Luke to change.
