Forest & Beach Senior Session: South Kingstown, Rhode Island Senior Portrait Photographer

I recently had the pleasure of photographing senior portraits for the youngest of three sisters, Ella, (I photographed her two older sisters, Taylor & Avery in recent years) who requested a natural forest setting followed by some beach portraits. We started in a quiet grove of ferns at the edge of a vernal pool near my house and then drove to a beach in Narragansett, Rhode Island for the remainder of our time. As we moved from location to location we took advantage of little natural elements in the landscape such as giant driftwood logs, small weathered docks, beach fencing and even a simple little swing at a farm en route. The entire session was relaxed and easy and it showed in the end result!  We had the most beautiful weather and I absolutely loved Ella’s bohemian inspired outfit.

I hope you have a wonderful senior year, Ella, and a smooth transition to college.

About Susan

My wedding and portrait photography business is located in the heart of South County, Rhode Island close to URI and the scenic, south coast beaches. I grew up here and feel so lucky to be able to work and create in such a beautiful location! My approach to photography is much like my approach to life: creative, relaxed, natural and fun. I would describe my style as a blend of candid & photojournalistic with traditional & artistic images. I love taking the time to create some beautiful, romantic portraits of my brides & grooms, but also the spontaneous moments throught the wedding day. 

I consider my website and blog a place where I can visually journal about the amazing people and places I get to photograph. Not only do I consider myself exceptionally lucky to be making a living taking photographs for people at important moments in their lives, but I also get to meet an amazing cross section of people I might not otherwise get to know. In the ten years I have been in business, I have had the chance to photograph couples riding high on the excitement of their recent engagement, on their wedding day, parents-to-be waiting to meet their new child, newborn babies, children marking milestone birthdays and families who want to remember a certain time in their lives by capturing it in a photographic portrait.  

In more recent years, I have had the opportunity to photograph the weddings of younger siblings and friends of previous wedding clients, and the maternity, newborn and family portraits of couples whose weddings I photographed in years past. It feels amazing to know my creative vision of these occasions is a part of their lives and their family history and I am grateful for each and every one of them. When I say I love what I do, it is from a genuine place. I can't imagine doing anything else and feeling as creativly satisfied and pleased to make my clients happy.  

I studied photography at Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) for undergraduate school and received a Master of Fine Arts degree from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale.
