As we look forward to the Class of 2027, I’m excited to launch a new series here on the blog: Featured Senior Photography Locations. Each week, I’ll highlight a location I know and love for capturing seniors — places that consistently create beautiful, natural, and timeless portraits.

Whether you’re just starting to think about senior photos or already dreaming about the perfect setting, I hope this series inspires you and helps guide your session planning.

First up: Meigs Point at Hammonasset Beach State Park, one of my favorite spots for seniors who love beach vibes, soft natural light, and timeless coastal portraits.

Why Meigs Point is Perfect for Senior Photos

Meigs Point is special because it offers a variety of backdrops all in one location: soft sand, grassy dunes, rocky areas, and the endless shoreline. This variety allows seniors to have a gallery of images that feel unique, relaxed, and true to their personality.

Some of my favorite features of Meigs Point include:

  • Wide-open beach views with gorgeous natural light
  • Tall grasses and dunes that add texture and depth to portraits
  • Rocky areas for a bit of contrast and interest
  • Peaceful, uncrowded areas that feel private for your session

A Relaxed and Natural Approach to Senior Photography

My senior sessions are all about comfort, movement, and personality. At Meigs Point, we can walk, laugh, explore, and capture those genuine expressions that make senior portraits feel timeless.

I also guide seniors and families on:

  • Outfit choices that complement the beach and natural light
  • Layering looks for variety within a session
  • Timing sessions for the best light, including golden hour sunsets
