Summer is a popular time for me to be photographing High School senior portraits sessions, especially at the beach.

I am so thankful that they hired us and gave us the opportunity to create these…
My client was vacationing with her family for a week at the Guy Harvey Outpost at TradeWinds Island Grand Resort in St Pete Beach FL and booked me to photograph her senior portraits.
