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!

Family Vacation Photos in Singer Island, FL

On Saturday, July 24th, we had the pleasure of capturing the Begley family during their family beach vacation to South Florida! We captured their family photos at Ocean Reef Park in Singer Island, Florida. We were grateful for decent weather after being rained out the day before. Their session was in honor of grandma and grandpa’s 50th wedding anniversary! It was an honor to document this special season of their lives and to capture the legacy of their gorgeous family!

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!

On Thursday, August 9th, 2018, Andrew and I had the pleasure of capturing Breanna's Palm Beach senior portraits. Her stunning session started on the elegant street of Worth Avenue and finished on the sandy shore of Palm Beach. Breanna's session was filled with colorful, tropical scenes and joyful laughter!

Breanna's gorgeous family joined her during her session and so we also captured a few family portraits after her session! We had such a wonderful time working with Breanna and her family! We hope you enjoy these tropical senior and family portraits on Palm Beach!
