Planning a seaside session involves much more than just timing the sunset. To achieve the ethereal look seen in Mimi and Michael’s gallery, we closely monitored the local tide charts. A receding shoreline reveals hidden geological wonders, specifically jagged stone structures cloaked in emerald flora. This striking contrast of organic greens against the deep Pacific cerulean offered an unparalleled environment for their portraits.
From Collegiate Service to Lifelong Commitment
Mimi and Michael’s journey began within the halls of a university service organization. While serving on the same leadership board, they dedicated their time to community outreach and charitable fundraising. This shared foundation of altruism shaped their bond. Michael deeply admires Mimi’s attentive nature toward those around her, while Mimi cherishes Michael’s inclusive spirit and sharp wit.
A Vibrant Natural Canvas
Because the water levels remained low, we utilized the exposed reefs to frame their connection. The textures of the damp stones and the rhythmic motion of the surf provided a dynamic energy to every frame. Furthermore, the soft coastal light emphasized their genuine ease with one another. Consequently, the session felt less like a photo shoot and more like a quiet celebration of their shared history.
