This was a three location senior portrait session, starting at a rather unusual spot (in my experience). I met Emma at Streetlight Records on Pacific Avenue in downtown Santa Cruz. She’s a bit of a vinyl aficionado, and the store was excited we wanted to take a few pictures there. We shot outside with the cool murals before going inside for a few creative shots while Emma browsed records.
Next, we headed over to Lighthouse Field in Santa Cruz, this time in a new outfit selected just for the spot. This time of year the field looks amazing, tall green grass and blossoming flowers abound. This is where Emma really started opening up and getting into the fun of her senior portrait session.
Last, with one more outfit change, we headed across the street to take a few photos at the lighthouse and then down at Dog Beach (aka Its Beach). We dodged the doggos and took photos in the water and against the picturesque rock cliffs. We ended with a big splash in the rushing waves with a bunch of great photos to choose from!
