Here are some important things to consider when planning your perfect High School Senior Photo Shoot on Tablerock Beach in Laguna Beach

Choosing the right photographer for your senior beach session.

High school senior from Michigan traveled to Laguna Beach for her High school senior portrait session. She wore bold colors on the sand at Tablerock beach to bring all the focus of the photographs on to her.

When it comes to beach photography, the challenge lies in dealing with strong backlighting and harsh reflections. But fear not!  We know just how to navigate these obstacles and create stunning images that truly capture the essence of your senior photography session.   At Blue Sky’s Studio, we use professional lighting equipment, reflectors and scrims to enhance our images and create the perfect portrait in every lighting condition.

Picking the Best Time of Day: Plan your perfect High School Senior Photo Shoot on Tablerock Beach in Laguna Beach at Golden Hour Laguna Beach high school senior photography on the rocks at Table Rock beach. This was a destination photography session.

The Golden Hour, that magical time just after sunrise or before sunset, is renowned for its soft, warm light that adds a touch of ethereal beauty to your photographs.   Why do we encourage you to book your beach session during the golden hour?  First, we want you to be able to open your eyes wide and not squint during your session.  It is much easier to open your eyes in soft lighting.  Second, golden hour lighting produces smooth even skin tones.  And finally, the beach in the early morning and late afternoon is far less crowded.  This means no crowds in the background of your portraits.

What to wear when planning your perfect high school senior photoshoot on Tablerock beach?

It’s time to capture those memorable moments and create stunning senior portraits that will last a lifetime. But wait, what should you wear? Don’t worry, we’re here to help you choose the perfect outfits that will make you shine in every frame.

When it comes to beach shoots, comfort and style go hand in hand. Opt for lightweight fabrics like cotton or linen that will keep you cool under the sun. Flowy maxi dresses or skirts paired with a cute crop top are always a great choice for a boho-inspired look. For a more casual vibe, try denim shorts with a colorful off-shoulder top.

Don’t forget about accessories! A floppy hat, sunglasses, and statement jewelry can add that extra touch of personality to your ensemble. And of course, let’s not forget about footwear – sandals or wedges are ideal for walking on the sandy shores.

Remember to consider the color palette of your outfits as well. Soft pastels or vibrant tropical prints can complement the beach backdrop beautifully. Coordinate with your friends if you’re planning a group shoot and aim for a cohesive look without being too matchy-matchy.

Lastly, be true to yourself and choose outfits that make you feel confident and comfortable. After all, these photos are all about capturing your unique personality during this special time in your life.

So go ahead and have fun selecting your outfits for the high senior Tablerock Beach photo shoot! Get ready to create memories that will make everyone say “Wow!”

Do you struggle when traveling to get the very best travel pictures? Are you planning an amazing vacation and you want to make sure it is well docmented? Me too!

I hope you are planning to create some amazing memories with your family and loved ones this summer.  I am beyond excited to have had a “girls trip” with my daughter to Barcelona and Paris. I obsessively planned to make sure we got to do some really amazing tours and outdoor adventures.  Be sure to follow my Instagram stories to see all of the highlights of our trip (@blueskysstudio).

In celebration of my travel photography, here are a few tips to get the most out of your shots:

  1. SCALE- You know, the actual size of a monument, a place, a garden, etc.  It helps to give viewers a better perspective of how large or small your subjects are. Luckily for you, when you’re vacationing, you’ll have plenty of people around you who’ll be only too happy to help you show scale in your pictures. These are your friends and family who are with you on the trip…so use them! 
  • LOW LIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY–  Get to know your camera and it’s ISO.  In low light or in the evening, set your ISO very high and stabilize your camera (if you have the space, pack a small tripod) to get some amazing shots.  City lights, moonlight on the water, or street lights illuminating a sidewalk will help document your travels and bring back all those memories from your trip.
  • STREET SIGNS- To better tell the story of the place you are visiting, include local signs in your photography.  Especially if the signs are in a different language!
  • STORYTELLING- The old saying that a picture says a thousand words gets remarkably stronger when you put together a series of pictures to tell a real story. The people, places and environments you encounter on vacation are ideal for this purpose. Attempt to tell a photography story by using a series of frames.
  • MAKE SURE YOUR IMAGES ARE IN FOCUS-  My rule of thumb is to make sure the Shutter Speed is at least 1/160 or higher.   If you have no clue about shutter speed, just make sure you either hold very still when shooting an image (I do this by locking my elbows to my side), or set your camera on a stationary object while shooting to stabilize the camera.  

I wish you safe travels and many beautiful memories.  Share your instagram with me so I can follow what you have been up to this summer.
