Want to show off your senior school style? Need some stunning and Instagramable pictures of yourself? Require some professional headshots to brighten your career prospects after high school? Or just memorialize who you were at this point in your life when you entered or passed out of senior school? Whatever your reason, getting your senior photos done is always a great idea! We keep encouraging seniors and their parents to book a portrait session to get stellar photos that they can treasure for a lifetime and more. So, when one of our lovely clients approached us for her daughter Josie’s Hilton Head Island Senior Portrait session, we were super excited! Josie and her mom chose the Marriott’s Grande Ocean in Hilton Head Island for the session and told us what they wanted.

Hilton Head Island Senior Portrait Photography

For us, as photographers, having such an exquisite location to create the images and all the needed information at hand made for a great start to our collaboration. The photo shoot was a fun time for us and resulted in some impressive senior portraits of Josie. The cherry on top was that Josie even brought her best friend along, and we included her in a few photos. Woah! The girls enjoyed their time together, and we loved documenting such beautiful bonding moments. Turning these moments into sweet memories and forever photos was a joy.

When Josie’s mother contacted us for the photo shoot, this is what she told us, “My daughter is an incoming senior in high school. We have been vacationing on Hilton Head Island for 8 years. She loves the beach and looks very ‘at home’ when we’re on the island. I’d like to have some senior photos of her at HHI.” Our client’s brief was enough to head us in the right direction. And honestly, when we arrived at the location for the session, we realized that Josie’s mom’s description of the young girl being at ease on Hilton Head Island was spot on!

Josie seemed so happy and relaxed throughout the session, and we just loved the confidence and the lovely smile she wore all the time. Be it photographing her against the green lawns, the striking palm trees, or the glistening ocean, we enjoyed capturing the beauty of the island in all its glory, with our lovely lady as our subject. She looked gorgeous in her flowy white dress that blended so wonderfully with the surroundings. The images that we created of her as she relaxed on the hammock came out looking so impressive! The ones taken with her best friend were adorable too! These smart and bright students shared some jokes and laughter, helping us highlight their personalities better.

Josie’s mom had told us that it was the natural beauty and candid actions of people in our photographs that drew her attention toward our work. So, this was something we kept in mind throughout the session. And with such photogenic models, we really didn’t have to think much about posing and expressions. On top of that, we got some lovely sea breeze and gorgeous natural lighting to create all those beautiful senior portraits. Oh! What a relaxing and refreshing workday it was, and the images turned out to be just as fantastic as we had envisioned.
