Capturing Senior Portraits at Good Harbor Beach

Hey everyone, Tracy here from KarunaPhoto!  Today, I want to share a special senior portrait session I recently had with Chimuka, a soon-to-be graduate!

We braved the beautiful (but intense!) winds at Good Harbor Beach in Northern Michigan for his shoot.

While the wind had other plans for our original beachside vision, it sometimes takes a little twist to capture something truly special.

We moved down into the woods, and that’s where the magic happened. Surrounded by the serenity of the trees, we were able to create photos that truly reflected C’s personality and presence.

C is a fantastic young man who’s looking forward to the next chapter! He’s energized by his welding classes at North Ed Career Tech Center, and it’s clear he has a bright future ahead…con’t

Knowing his mom (who happens to be a friend!), I wanted to make sure ChiChi felt comfortable during the shoot. So, we captured some wonderful photos of him with both his mom and dad and the joy in their faces was truly heartwarming.

In the end, the wind may have changed our location, but it couldn’t change the fantastic energy of this session.

Congratulations on your graduation, Chimuka, and best of luck in all your future endeavors!
