Last Hour of Sun: Senior Portraits at Panther Beach

We took the senior up to Panther Beach, where the ocean fills the bottom of every photo whether you plan it or not.

My rule with seniors: the real smile shows up in the first 10 to 15 seconds of a setup, so I'm ready for it before they are. We bank the safe shots fast, then spend the rest of the hour on the fun stuff.

Senior year moves fast. An evening at Panther Beach put a bookmark in it.

Location: Panther Beach (Santa Cruz)

The whole shoot, not just the highlights

Here’s a few highlights from this shoot. Most photographers only ever show a static portfolio of their very best images. I think every potential client should see more than that: the full shoots themselves. Nothing sets expectations like seeing multiple sessions at one location in different weather, times of day, and seasons. We get amazing photos no matter what, and we’re not afraid to show you.
