Beach portraits during vacation are some of my favorite things. Beach portraits with a high school senior with fond memories of the beaches in Ponce from all her visits to Florida to see her grandparents? Better and better!

I met up with Lauren on a gorgeous evening, and she made Ponce look even better than usual! Laughing-hysterically shots will always be some of my favorites!
She said her Chucks had to play a starring role in her portrait session, because they were her daily staple at school during her senior year. As an Avid fan of Chucks myself (my personal favorites are gray with a polka dotted double tongue!), I absolutely agreed.
There’s a reason golden hour is my camera’s BFF:
With the light melting from golden to all the prettiest chalky shades of pastel, we left the inlet beach, and after a quick outfit change, we headed down to the Atlantic. It was magical. Gorgeousness, and more gorgeousness.
Lauren, I am so glad we had the perfect night for your portraits. Congratulations on graduation, and best wishes as you head off to college!
