Ruby’s Southern California Beach Senior Session | SoCal Senior Photographer

Ruby’s senior session was pure magic. A 2024 high school graduate and aspiring Marine Biologist, Ruby wanted her senior portraits to reflect her love for the ocean and her calm, confident spirit. We chose a secluded, rocky beach in Southern California - the perfect backdrop for her coastal-inspired senior photoshoot.

As a SoCal senior photographer, I always encourage my seniors to pick a location that feels personal to them. For Ruby, the beach was more than just scenic—it was symbolic. It represented where she’s been, who she is, and where she’s going.

Casual Beach Outfit Vibes

Ruby started her Southern California senior session in a soft, casual look: a denim romper layered over a crisp white shirt. The light tones of her outfit popped beautifully against the sunlit sand and cool ocean tones, highlighting her natural beauty and soft, feminine style. This look felt effortless and relaxed - perfect for senior photos on the beach.

Tropical & Bold Second Look

For her second outfit, Ruby switched into a bold and beachy ensemble: rust-colored flowy pants paired with a black top. The tropical tones of this look added drama and contrast to the soft blues and beiges of the coastal landscape. The movement in her pants added a whimsical, editorial feel that brought a totally different vibe to the session.

Confidence is Key

What I loved most about Ruby’s senior outfits was how true they were to her personality. As a senior photographer in SoCal, I always encourage my seniors to choose outfits that reflect who they are and what makes them feel confident. Ruby absolutely shined in both looks because they were authentic to her.

Her natural ease in front of the camera made this session so special. She nailed every pose and gave so much heart to the process. It was an honor to photograph this milestone moment for her!
