Grad Portraits in Historic Downtown St. Augustine

There's something so special about having your graduation portraits in historic downtown St. Augustine, Florida, especially when you end your session at sunset on the beach!

Historic downtown St. Augustine has so many hidden alcoves, it's literally a treasure trove for a photo session! With a backdrop set against old-world charm, a seaside harbor, and history around every corner, downtown is a fun place for a high school senior photo session. And I love the light and airy vibe we were able to achieve. It gives me a bit of a historic Charleston feeling, and I love all of the colors in this portait session, too.

Can you believe that I have been photographing this young woman since she was FIVE!! It's wild to think how quickly the time went by. I met her mother twenty years ago when I first started working at a publishing company right out of college. We became fast friends. In fact, I remember going to Mama's baby shower for this young lady! And now, here we are 18 years later!

I am always so happy when clients opt for a combination grad portrait session in historic downtown and end at sunset at the beach. It's the perfect way to end your session with those colorful, pastel-hued skies. Downtown St. Augustine is a little more forgiving with the time, so you can always start your portrait session downtown, then end at sunset on St. Augustine Beach.

From candid shots of you walking along the wharf downtown, to the side streets and shoreline of the beach, this stacked itinerary gives you plenty of variety for your grad portraits.

A combination grad portrait session in historic downtown St. Augustine and on the beach at sunset is a magical experience that combines the natural beauty of this city with the excitement of celebrating your achievements. Whether you're flying solo or sharing the moment with loved ones, these stunning backdrops will create memories that you'll cherish for a lifetime. So why wait? Book your grad session today and let the beauty of St. Augustine and the beaches be the backdrop for unforgettable grad photos.
