If your child has ever dreamed of being a mermaid, you’re in the right place.

Right here on the beaches of Galveston, TX, I offer one-of-a-kind mermaid portrait sessions designed to bring that dream to life — with glittering tails and a magical setting that feels like something straight out of a storybook.

CELEBRATE SENIOR YEAR WITH BEAUTIFUL PORTRAITS | GALVESTON PHOTOGRAPHER

Senior year is a milestone, a time of big dreams, and an unforgettable chapter in life. Capturing this moment with a senior portrait session is about more than just photos—it’s about telling your story. I recently had the absolute joy of photographing Brianna at the beach in Galveston, and I can’t wait to share their stunning photos!

Senior portraits celebrate you—your unique style, personality, and accomplishments. This is a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and portraits capture it in a way that you can look back on for years to come. They’re not just for you, either—these images become cherished keepsakes for your family and a way to share your excitement with friends as you step into your next adventure.

Whether you’re in Houston, Galveston, or the surrounding areas, senior portraits are the perfect way to mark this incredible season of life. Brianna plans to attend the Baylor University and pursue a career as a neonatal nurse.

As a photographer with over 15 years of experience, senior portraits are one of my favorite session styles to capture. There’s something so inspiring about working with incredible graduating seniors who are at such an exciting crossroads. Each session is a collaboration to highlight your personality and style. Plus, the creative possibilities are endless, especially when we choose the perfect location, wardrobe, and have a blast working together.

The beach offers a mix of relaxed vibes and stunning natural beauty. Whether we’re catching golden-hour sunlight, using the sand and surf as a textured backdrop, or incorporating the wide-open sky, the beach provides a setting that feels timeless, elegant, and fun. It’s a space where you can let loose and feel totally at ease, which makes for amazing photos.

If the beach isn’t your thing, don’t worry—there are tons of other options for great locations! From urban cityscapes in Houston to lush parks, scenic landmarks, or even a few natural light studio spaces, we can talk about what makes the most sense for you and your style. Your session should feel like you, and I’m here to help you find the perfect backdrop to bring your vision to life.

One of the highlights of my senior sessions is that you get three wardrobe changes to truly express yourself. Here’s how I recommend styling your looks:

Look 1: Everyday Classic Style
This outfit reflects your day-to-day personality—something you’d wear to hang out with friends or go to a movie. Think of it as the “you” your friends know best. A classic looks makes a great option here. Something that will NEVER go out of style. Think jeans and a white t-shirt, like Brianna opted for. This look works great at the beach.

Look 2: A Dressier Option
A flowy maxi dress or something with interesting textures and layers can add movement and elegance to your photos. Brianna chose a beautiful soft pink dress taht looked amazing with her skin tone.

Look 3: Wildcard
This is where you get to think outside the box! Maybe it’s a bold, fashion-forward look, a nod to your school pride (like a letterman jacket or cap and gown), or something cultural that represents your heritage. Want to bring in a playful vibe? We can even incorporate a fun theme, like your favorite restaurant or hobby.

Wardrobe tips for stunning Senior Portraits :

  • Solid colors or muted earth tones. They photograph beautifully and allow you to shine.

  • Play with textures and layers. A mix of fabrics, accessories, and thoughtful styling adds depth and interest to your images.

  • Consider the location. Carefully choose outfits that complement and make sense based on the location and backdrop.

  • Fit matters! Make sure your clothes fit well and are steamed for a polished look.

  • Variety is key. Choose looks that show different sides of your personality for a well-rounded gallery.

Your senior year deserves to be celebrated in style, and a beach senior portrait session in Galveston—or any of the amazing locations around Houston—is the perfect way to do it. From laid-back, casual vibes to elevated editorial looks, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

# 1. the Right Outfit
When it comes to mermaid portraits, the right outfit can make all the difference. And have no fear because I have you covered on wardrobe and accessories! Feel free to bring your own jewelry or anything else you’d like to incorporate, but KBP will provide the mermaid tail, top, crown options, and some extra mermaid sparkle for your magical session.

# 2. Posing
Mermaid portraits are all about capturing the magic of your child's imagination. I have many years of experience with coaxing natural poses and expressions from little ones. You can help your child prepare by telling them we are taking photos but that it will be a very fun time to play, so they don’t feel pressure to perform in a certain way.

# 3. Location and Timing

Choosing the right location and time of day is key to capturing magical mermaid images. I will help choose a location in Galveston, Texas that will be the least busy so we don’t have onlookers or people in the background. Taking photos during golden hour, especially at the beach is very important. We will set our session start time based on sunset for the date of our portrait session in Galveston.
