Lauren chose to have her senior portraits done at Hammonasset Beach State Park in Madison, CT. We met at Meig’s point and thought the nearly empty beaches and jetty would be a good backdrop for her senior portraits, and a portrait with her lovely sister. Keep this in mind when considering your senior portrait session. It’s easy to incorporate your family into some of the photos. A big thank you to my friend Kelly for her assistance! It was a perfect summer evening photo shoot at the the beach. Still need your senior portraits done? Contact me today so we can plan your perfect senior portrait session.

Last weekend I was down at Hammonasset Beach State Park with my family. The first afternoon we were there it was a little stormy, and not exactly the kind of weather that draws you to the beach. Usually it’s the bright sunny days that scream sun, sand and surf. In our excitement to be away on vacation for a few days my daughter and I decided to go anyway. No matter the weather there’s something about the wide open sea that is calming and rejuvenating. I’m so glad we went, because it was a complete contrast to the next few days. We practically had the beach to ourselves. Cloud covered sky, calm sedentary ocean, with a sailboat off inthe distance. Not the kind you’d find down at the local marina. This was a ship, set on the horizon. If we hadn’t gone that evening, we would’ve missed this scene. girl by the seashore with sailboat

Sunset High School Senior Session, Hammonasset, Madison, CT

Posted on July 15, 2015by pbphotoLeave a comment

One reason why I love doing senior sessions is it can be as personalized as the individual would like it to be. Also it can be creative and I like the challenge of working with various lighting conditions. For these photos taken at Hamonasset Beach in Madison, CT we were racing against the setting sun. We started out with plenty of light and got acclimated to the session(because you know you always have to!) Meanwhile the sun was setting at a rapid pace behind us, which was casting it’s orange glow. You know when it’s 5 o’clock in the summer and the sun is still way up in the sky, you think “I have so much time!” Well, if you push it, next thing you know the sun is at the horizon and all the beautiful golden-ness is gone with it. The sky is twilight and you are getting no ambient light whatsoever. We worked quickly and with the help of my subjects mom, I used a speed lite into a shoot through umbrella, in order to light my subject and balance her exposure with the gorgeous sunset sky in the background. In the last 2 you can see the twilight sky, peeking through.
