Sophia’s Senior Photos in Orange Beach

While visiting friends in Orange Beach Alabama, Sophia arranged senior photos in Orange Beach.  This Tennessee teenager says she is a beach girl at heart.  It only made sense to take her pictures at the place that makes her the happiest.

With her long hair, doesn’t she look like a mermaid?

I think she had the best idea!  The beach definitely suits Sophia’s personality, and she just looks lovely in her tie-dye dress.  Being barefoot in the sand is the look she was after, and we were lucky enough to get a magnificent sunset to complete our evening.

Happy to be here

Most girls in her town will be taking photos in front of barns, or in the city.

Nashville is known for its beautiful scenery.  Most of Sophia’s friends will be taking senior portraits in a field with a picturesque barn behind them.  Some will be taking photos in the city, under the twinkling lights.  All of these sound pretty, but she wanted to be different.

Beach portraits make the best senior photos

While here with friends we were able to add one little activity to her travel plans.

After a short flight from Nashville, we were able to grab photos on her first evening here.  This is always a great idea because sunburns do happen to the best of us.  Even well-applied sunscreen can be no match for a day on the beach.  Now that photos are done and checked off her list, she can enjoy a weekend at the beach.

Beach girl at heart

Senior photos in Orange Beach only take 30 minutes for most teens.

Beach portraits are best when taken at sunset.  The sunset lighting lasts about 30 minutes, and that is plenty of time to change clothes once and even get some fun shots in the water.  That is exactly what we did this weekend at Sophia’s photo session.  After a change of clothes and several shots in her second outfit, she got wet.  Love it!

sometimes we get a little wet, that is great!
