Portrait. by the sea

Here is a great example of an accomplished graduate with the future just a few months away! ​

Portraiture has been with us since humans first painted on cave walls. With time the medium and technique of portraiture may have been altered, but our desire to  commemorate our accomplishments remains strong. Graduation portrait is a tradition, a right of passage. We create these portraits to mark a moment of accomplishment. Marking the years of hard work, and the excitement of the future that lies ahead.

We created these senior portraits right on the beach just outside of Portland, Maine. Creating a portrait session near the ocean is the perfect spot to capture the freshness and vitality of a new graduate. The fresh breeze that comes off the ocean provides the symbolism of a new journey that lies ahead. Fresh wind, fresh hopes, and a fresh joy. The future is being captured at this exact moment and in this frame. The photography session began just before golden hour and we soon quickly experienced that warming light that floods the Maine coastline.

There is also a desire to share these special moments with our loved ones and offer an image that perfectly expresses who the graduate is and hopes to become. A visual representation that says, “this is me now”, graduating and ready for the next part of the path!
