Selby Ann | 18th Birthday Portraits in Palm Beach, Florida

On July 11th, 2024, I had the pleasure of capturing Selby Ann’s 18th Birthday Portraits in Palm Beach, Florida. Her sweet mother & aunt (Twins!!) planned a Palm Beach getaway for her birthday complete with a two-hour portrait session all over Palm Beach! They traveled from Tennessee and stayed at my favorite spot, The Colony Hotel! We began our session in the westward part of Worth Avenue which gives a charming Mediterranean vibe. We then headed east on Worth Avenue, capturing lifestyle portraits along the way.

Selby Ann brought three dresses for her session! The first was an adorable light pink, smocked, strapless dress with eyelet ruffles at the bottom. It paired beautifully with the scenes of Worth Avenue but especially with the Colony Hotel. This is where we did a quick stop for her to change into her second dress!

The second dress was a fun white, tiered ruffle, strapless dress! We captured this dress around the Colony Hotel before changing into her last and final dress—the showstopper!

For the final dress, she wore a Pink Floral, Ruffle Tired, Cut-out Chiffon Gown by Mac Duggal! This dress was stunning on her and so perfect for Palm Beach! We then headed east again, towards the beach! We began at the Worth Avenue Clock Tower, capturing some dreamy princess-like portraits! These were some of my favorite shots from the entire session!

We ended her session on the Palm Beach seashore where she joyfully finished the session by getting into the ocean! It was such a fun way to end this very fun birthday portrait session!

This session was such a joy to capture! I hope you enjoy these highlights!

Corrine | Lifestyle Senior Photos in Palm Beach, Florida

On Sunday, the 15th of November, I had the pleasure of capturing Corrine’s lifestyle senior photos in Palm Beach, Florida. Her session turned out so gorgeous and ended in laughs on the beach—mainly because of an inebriated stranger got down on one knee and tried to propose to her! LOL. I shut it down right away by saying “Dude! She’s not even 18 yet!”. He backed off right away but not before lots of laughs!! It was the funniest way to end her session! Be sure to scroll all the way to the end to see her reaction!

We began her session on Worth Avenue. All the Tuscan vibes filled this part of her session. We also did a handful of photos at the pink Colony Hotel, and these turned out to be some of my favorite shots! Then she had a wardrobe change and we headed east to the beach! The sky was the prettiest shade of pastel pink and it matched her pink dress perfectly! Her session has become a new favorite senior session! I hope you enjoy these highlights!

While visiting Palm Beach, Mckenzie had her lifestyle Senior beach photos taken with us! We had such a great time capturing some lifestyle portraits on Worth Avenue and the beach! It was a gorgeous day with a perfect ocean view! The waves were big enough for the surfers to be out yet it wasn't very windy! The water was the perfect shade of teal, a stunning backdrop for this whimsical senior portrait session!

Mckenzie, it was a pleasure working with you! I had so much fun capturing your joyful personality! I hope to work with you again one day! Enjoy your senior year!

[line] We began her session on the east side of Worth Avenue.  Her black jumpsuit stood out against the bright Palm Beach backdrop!  Then we got our toes in the sand and captured some fun breezy senior photos!  The ocean was as stunning as it looks!  Some of my favorite shots!  Kenzie, you are stunning!!  Kenize, I hope you soar and achieve your dreams!

Logan's Senior Portraits at Frenchman's Forest

Senior Portraits at Frenchman's Forest in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

On August 17th, I had the pleasure of capturing Logan's high school senior portraits at Frenchman's Forest in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. With the unpredictable Summer weather, we decided to do a morning session. This was the first session I've done at this location in the morning. The light was gorgeous! A very different look than an afternoon session, but so beautiful!

Logan, good luck in your senior year of high school! I hope football and college go well! I hope you enjoy your photos!
