Lauren’s senior session took us to the beach in Malibu, and her personality came through from the very beginning.

We photographed along the shoreline and wooden stairs, using the different textures and coastal light to give her plenty of variety without ever leaving the beach.

Lauren has the kind of smile that makes a session feel instantly fun. So many of my favorite images from the evening are the ones where she is laughing, smiling, and just completely herself.

Lauren graduated from Royal High School and is headed to Eastern Connecticut State University, where she will continue playing volleyball.
