Senior Portraiture by Tamsin Photography

This session almost didn't happen. I am SO glad that it did.

Maliah was visiting Cocoa Beach from her home in Michigan and this boho beach girl wanted her senior portraits to be different from all of her friends back home. We planned the perfect shoot on the beach during her brief stay. Unfortunately, tropical storm Emily had different plans and almost rained on our parade!

Thankfully, just as the time for her sunset shoot arrived the rain stopped, the sun peeped out, and in nothing short of a little senior session miracle we were able to shoot at the Historic Cocoa Beach Pier! Just one week later another storm would come along and blow the roof right off of the pier building!

I absolutely loved shooting with Maliah and she and her sweet mom Givana had planned out every last detail for a perfectly styled shoot with jewelry, a blanket scene with throw pillows under the pier, and gorgeous outfits from Free People.

In the end Maliah was so bright and beautiful that she easily outshone tropical storm Emily and her sunset senior shoot was so warm and golden and perfect!

Check out these images from our time together!

What is your senior session state of mind? For Breanna it was golden sunshine. It was light and airy and natural. It was free-spirited and laid-back with a blend of boho and surfer vibes. It was crashing waves against a beach that feels like home to this high school senior who is preparing to leave for college in the fall.

Working with Breanna for her senior portrait session at the Historic Cocoa Beach Pier in beautiful Cocoa Beach, Florida was a photographer's dream. Breanna is a senior at Titusville High School and is preparing to kick off her college life as a freshman at The University of Central Florida. This bright, athletic, Florida girl will be majoring in Television Broadcasting and is working hard to fulfill her dream to become a television news anchor. She names her family as her biggest supporters and inspiration and credits them as the reason for all of the successes in her life.

Breanna is one of those young adults who leaves a lasting impression on you. She is an amazing balance of beauty and brains. Her bubbly, laid-back personality made her a joy to be around and after spending time shooting with her there is no doubt in my mind that she is going to do amazing things in this new chapter of her life.

Having grown up in Florida, the iconic Cocoa Beach scene was the perfect spot for this surfer girl to be captured in the sunshine, sand and surf. Breanna was photographed on the beach at just two months old, and now returning to take her senior portraits here just seemed like a natural fit. The beach is her go-to spot when she needs to relax or have fun, and the outgoing spirit she embodies shines through the images from our session together.

Congratulations to Breanna and best wishes for an amazing college experience! I am SURE we will see you on TV someday soon!
