Last Hour of Sun: Senior Portraits at Seacliff State Beach

There is a moment on every bluff shoot where the wind wins and everyone laughs. At Seacliff State Beach it came early and kept coming.

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.

One school year from now these photos are on a graduation table. Seacliff State Beach gave them a backdrop worth keeping.

Location: Seacliff State Beach (Aptos)

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.
