POP-UP SESSION – Senior Portrait Mini Sessions

Let’s celebrate your son or daughter’s upcoming graduation with a cool senior photo in Newport Beach. Perfect for grad announcements and a great time to document a milestone before they head off to college! We will be offering packages with digital files, albums, and announcements/party invites. Let’s capture your senior’s expression, style, and personality! This mini session is happening on one day only, don’t miss out!

Newport Beach Senior Portrait Mini Sessions – Class of 2018

Join us on April 14, 2018 for Senior Portrait Mini Sessions! We will have photographers at two locations this year (The Newport Beach Pier & Back Bay). The Newport Pier location will give your grad the choice of a beach portrait, or more or a vintage/urban look in the back alleys. The Newport Beach Back Bay has more of a nature/rustic look. Both locations are gorgeous but we understand every senior has their own unique style.

The secret to an stress-free session?
Choosing the right location.

This family had a party right after, so we kept everything simple and close. No extra driving, no rushing… just time together.

And it made all the difference.

If you’re planning family photos, I’ll help you choose a location that actually works for your day.

Send me a message and let’s plan it.
Three things every parent should know before sending their child on a mission.

First… this season is full of lasts.
But it’s also the beginning of a whole new life of firsts for them.

Second… saying goodbye at the airport is hard.
You prepare for it, you know it’s the right thing… but you still miss them more than you expect.
And suddenly, everything reminds you of them.

And third… P-days become the day you look forward to the most.
That one day a week when you get to hear their voice, read their messages, and feel connected again.

• Save this if you’re in this season 🤍
OR
• Send this to a parent preparing for a mission

It’s a big transition… for them and for you. #missionarymom #missionary #ldsmission
Turn your body slightly instead of facing the camera straight on.

Shift your weight to one leg, relax your shoulders, and bring your heads a little closer together.

Small adjustments like this make your photos feel more natural immediately.

Comment POSE if you want more simple tips.
In my experience, shooting during the first few weeks is ideal. During these early days, babies tend to sleep more and curl up in those naturally cozy positions we all adore in newborn portraits. Make sure to reach out and get on the calendar before the baby is born. We want to have some wiggle room with timing once the little one arrives.
The open environment at Back Bay invites your kids to explore, walk, and twirl safely. I’m there to guide you into natural poses, creating moments that are genuine rather than staged. The golden hour (right before sunset) is the best time for a session at this location.
