A Senior Portrait Session at Redondo Beach

Last Saturday I did a Senior Portrait session at Redondo Beach. This park and beach community is located in Des Moines, Washington. Our Senior, Rachel, wanted water for the background. She also wanted the weather to be sunny and bright because she wanted a nice blue sky behind her. The day before the scheduled session the weather called for rain so we crossed our fingers and rescheduled. Several days before the shoot, we checked the weather and luckily for us, the day was going to be warm and sunny. October here in the Seattle area has been beautiful and pretty warm, and none of us want it to end.

Rachel is on the swim team and does gymnastics, so we were able to incorporate that into her photos. Redondo Beach has plenty of backgrounds for photos and we utilized them all. The beach is gorgeous, with plenty of sand and crashing waves. There also a long dock that lends plenty of photo opportunities. We also used the large grassy area complete with a gazebo and plenty of trees.

I'm always on the lookout for locations for portraits and Redondo Beach turned out to be a good one. Rachel did a great job posing for her photos. I can tell she's on her way to having an incredible future!
