Senior Pictures at the Beach

Are you headed to Ocean Isle Beach, Holden Beach or Bald Head Island and looking for a fun place to have your senior pictures taken? We think the beach is an amazing spot and has so much to offer you.

Here are our tips if you want to have your senior pictures at the beach!

  1. Don’t do ALL the pictures on the beach.  While the beach is gorgeous, we don’t feel it is enough for a whole session.  So we will first start off the beach and then end the session at the beach when the sun is setting.
  2. Know it will be windy!  Another reason that we don’t do all the pictures on the beach…it’s even windier, so if you have long hair, you might think of a way to pull it back, use a hat, clip etc if the wind gets out of hand
  3. Don’t use lotion!  It will make all the sand stick to you!  Your legs a bit dry won’t matter in pictures, but with sand, up to your thighs, it might.
  4. Share with us your hobbies..so if you are a volleyball player or a football player, we can still incorporate those things, even though you may not be at home.
  5. Be comfortable changing in your car or in our little popup changing station.  These days most kids are used to going from school, to sports, to dance etc…so they are used to changing in the car, but if not,we have a pop up station for you!
  6. Communicate with us!  Let us know your thoughts about your style (urban, country, rustic, dressy, etc) we want these sessions to be all about YOU!
  7. Complimentary hair and makeup is provided if you want!  You have to let us know so we can set it up with the salon, but if you want it (and we think you should totally do it) then let us know, it’s our treat!
  8. Have a chauffeur:  We will bounce around town and all over the mainland for the first part of your session.  So make sure you have someone who can drive you!  I will find things and just pull over and you’ll pop out and we’ll do a few.  I tell my clients that I look at what you are wearing and I go from there!  It’s a “let the spirit move me” type of deal.  I do have a few favorites because of light, but I see things that you don’t so please TRUST ME!!
  9. Relax: This is supposed to be super fun!  The biggest compliment I can ever get is “you made this so easy and it was so much fun”. I want you to enjoy every minute!
  10. Behind the Scenes:  Be prepared for me to do some Insta posting while we are shooting!  It’s so helpful for my future clients to get a glimpse so that they know what to expect!

We hope those help as you prepare for your beach location senior pictures.
