There’s nothing quite like sunrise at Cherry Grove Beach to make senior pictures unforgettable! When Paul and his family planned his session, they wanted something personal, meaningful, and timeless. They brought along their gorgeous family vintage car, and it turned out to be the perfect centerpiece for his Myrtle Beach senior pictures.
We met before dawn to catch the first light over the ocean. Sunrise sessions are always my favorite—the beach is quiet, the colors are incredible, and the light is soft and natural. Paul was such a natural in front of the camera, and the car added so much character and history to the photos.
What made this session truly special is that the car isn’t just a prop—it’s a family heirloom, passed down and lovingly maintained over the years. It’s a symbol of family memories and tradition, and it was amazing to capture Paul with something so meaningful to them. We took wide shots of the car on the sand, detailed close-ups of its beautiful vintage styling, and classic portraits of Paul leaning against it with the sunrise behind him.
If you’re thinking about your own Myrtle Beach senior pictures, consider bringing something that tells your story. Whether it’s your favorite car or your pet, those personal touches make your session one-of-a-kind.
A huge thank you to Paul and his family for choosing me to photograph this important milestone. Wishing Paul all the best as he heads into his next adventure!
