Gorgeous Senior Beach Session at Second Beach
Senior beach photos are the thing to do when you’re growing up in Rhode Island. I mean, we are the Ocean State after all. Who wouldn’t want photos done at the beach?? It can be an ever changing look to the water and sky as the day goes on into sunset and beyond. Sadly for me up here in my corner of the state it’s about an hour drive to get to those beaches but when someone asks, I go!! It was no exception for Amanda’s senior session as we headed to Second Beach (also known as Sachuest) in Middletown. Side note – everyone thinks it’s Newport, but it’s not!
We headed down about 90 mins before sunset and started up overlooking the beach first which is one of my favorite parts of going there. It allows for COMPLETELY different looks and feels to the photos but all in the same location. Knowing that we’d have a few different “backdrops”, Amanda chose four different outfits for her photos. She brought cute and comfy tops with jeans and sneakers, a casual dress, and then ended in a gorgeous satin cowl back dress for photos on the sand and in the water. That look from Abercrombie was definitely one of my favorites of the night BUT I also totally love jeans and sneakers because thats my own personal go to. And the outfits she chose were perfectly her. And I think that is an important distinction to make – seniors need to wear outfits that are THEM. My packages offer options from one to unlimited outfits and it’s so important that the outfits chosen reflect their style, their personality. I know as the parent of two teens and one tween how much we want to dress them and have a say. But the options they choose – it shines through in the images. From their posture to their expression, it’s there. I definitely lend a guiding hand in what will photograph best but the options presented are best when they have the say.
After being up top in the woods and on the rocks we headed down to the water because what is a senior beach session without the beach part?? I really wanted to do some dance images in the water since Amanda is an incredible dancer but I ran out of time. Instead, however, we got not only beautiful sunset images and lighting but we ended up under moonlit skies?!?! Please note that I cannot guarantee amazing moonlight and reflections in your session but IF I COULD I WOULD. So much fun and so so pretty. And yes, she did end up in the water at the end of the evening. Take a look at some of my favorites from the session!
