Cocoa Beach Senior Portrait Session

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!
 

Do you want to break out of the studio senior photo routine? Well you don't have to sit on a stool in a dark room in an awkward pose- you can style a custom shoot to capture this unique time in your life! For more information, or to book your 2018 senior portrait session, visit us HERE.

Life Through the Lens: Spotlight on the Spaulding Family

Cape Canaveral, Florida Family Portrait Session at Jetty Park Beach 

What do you get when you have an adorable, well-styled family, a scenic Florida location and a breezy night with a golden sunset? Simply put- amazing images!

I had the opportunity to meet Tracy and Shawn Spaulding and their three beautiful children one windy, warm evening in Cape Canaveral, Florida. From the beginning I could tell that this family was laid-back, loving, and out to have fun during their session. Not only that, but thanks to mom they were dressed perfectly in a coordinating blue, white and yellow color scheme that made everyone look great! A strong style made this family picture-perfect and ready to go! 

I had fun running and playing in the surf with the kids, posing them on the dunes for traditional, glowing portrait shots with the wind in their hair, and climbing on the jetty rocks with them as the sun set behind us. 

The best candid moments and natural images come from sessions in which the families are happy, relaxed, and having fun. It is okay to laugh and run and play during your portrait session. In fact- I love it when families do! 

Happy summer to this family and all of the other families that I will be working with soon. I am looking forward to making memories and, most of all, having FUN with you soon!
