I am so excited today to share with you all Sydney’s Shrewsbury MA senior pictures! I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Sydney and her wonderful mom, Elizabeth, during our virtual senior portrait consultation. From the get-go, their excitement was contagious! Sydney, a brilliant student at Shrewsbury High School, is not only studying hard but also carving out time for her friends, dancing, and, of course, swimming. But let’s talk outfits! She had some fabulous looks planned, including a pair of adorable white cowboy booties that I was itching to incorporate into our session. Oh, and did I mention the gorgeous flower bouquet they planned to bring? Talk about picture-perfect!
The big day arrived for Sydney’s Shrewsbury MA senior pictures and what a stunner it was! A beautifully sunny late September day greeted us at the beach. Although Sydney hails from Shrewsbury, she and Elizabeth made the trip to the South Shore in search of those dreamy beach shots that every high school senior girl fantasizes about. And let me tell you, golden rod flowers were out in full bloom, creating a golden sea of beauty around us. Sydney started off in a light pink shift dress that perfectly complemented her white cowboy booties. Cue the applause for that incredible flower bouquet—absolute perfection!
After capturing some golden moments in her first outfit, Sydney switched into a cream-colored gown purchased at an Italian boutique. And let me tell you—I was practically swooning! The way the skirt swayed as Sydney twirled was straight out of a fairytale—quanto è bella! These shots may just be my absolute favorites of Sydney’s Shrewsbury MA senior pictures, set against the backdrop of golden sea grasses and a blue sky that could make anyone weak in the knees.
Next up for Sydney’s Shrewsbury MA senior pictures? A stunning crimson-red halter dress that could have stopped traffic! We danced our way through the tall sea grass and then made our way to the shoreline. Since it was the tail end of September, we practically had the beach to ourselves. Can you say “photographer’s dream”? As Sydney strolled along the shoreline, the golden-hour light draped her in a kind of glow that would make anyone jealous.
But wait, there’s more! Sydney changed into a cute white tank adorned with a rosette, complemented by light blue wide-leg jeans. This ensemble echoed the blue skies above and brought out some stunning shots. It’s like Sydney was born to strut her stuff in front of the camera!
As the sun began to dip, we returned to our original sandy spot by the dunes. Sydney donned a garnet-red cozy sweater, finishing off our session with effortless style. Each click of the camera felt like a dream come true, and spending the day with Sydney and Elizabeth was an absolute joy!
If you’re in need of senior pictures for your yearbook, make sure to plan ahead! The ideal window for capturing those memorable shots is the summer before or the autumn of your senior year. I recommend reaching out to schedule your session at least four months in advance. Spoiler alert: some eager beavers even book a whole year ahead just to secure the perfect date!
Many clients ask me when the ideal month is for senior photos. While high school seniors often prefer late July, August, or early September, my personal favorite is late September or October. The weather is perfection—less humidity, less stickiness, and far fewer unexpected thunderstorms. Plus, the golden light? Absolutely lovely. And if you’re in a bind, don’t fret! I offer sunrise or midday sessions, and you can always hop on my waitlist for a prime slot.
