Rachel’s Senior Photo Session: A Day at Allyn Cox Reservation and Wingaersheek Beach
Rachel, a senior from Maynard High School, brought all the energy, creativity, and joy to her senior photo session. We spent a beautiful day exploring Allyn Cox Reservation in Essex, MA, and later made our way to my favorite, Wingaersheek Beach in Gloucester, MA.
Rachel’s love for music, film, and content creation shone throughout her session. With her pink dress adding a pop of color and her bubbly personality keeping the day light and fun.
Meet Rachel: A Creative, Dream-Chasing Senior
Rachel isn’t your average high school senior—she’s a force of creativity with big dreams. As a Taylor Swift fan (we spent most of the session talking about the Eras Tour), she’s someone who appreciates storytelling, whether it’s in music, film, or photography.
Outside of school, Rachel loves editing videos, creating content, and hanging out with her friends. She’s got a natural eye for aesthetics, which was clear in the way she styled her outfits. With plans to combine her passions for film and business, she’s considering heading to Arizona after graduation to pursue a career in public relations or something in the film industry.
The Evening Begins at Allyn Cox Reservation
We started Rachel’s session at Allyn Cox Reservation in Essex, MA. This spot is a dream for natural senior photography with its mix of open fields, scenic marshes, and picturesque benches. The soft fall light gave everything a golden glow, making it the perfect setting to capture Rachel’s warm, vibrant personality.
Wingaersheek Beach: A Dreamy Backdrop for Senior Photos
After our time at Allyn Cox Reservation, we headed over to Wingaersheek Beach in Gloucester, MA. Allyn Cox Reservation isn’t huge so it’s the perfect spot to pair with Wingaersheek if you want some varitey for your session since they’re not too far from each other. If you’ve ever been to Wingaersheek, you know it’s a slice of heaven with its crystal-clear water, soft white sand, and iconic rock formations. And it gets some pretty gorgeous sunsets!
Why Senior Photos Matter
Rachel’s session is a perfect example of why senior photos are so important. They’re not just about celebrating the end of high school—they’re about capturing who you are right now. For Rachel, that means highlighting her love for music, her passion for film, and her bright, fun-loving personality.
This session was an absolute dream from start to finish. The combination of Allyn Cox Reservation’s natural beauty and Wingaersheek Beach’s coastal charm made for stunning backdrops, but it was Rachel’s energy and creativity that truly brought the photos to life.
If you’re a senior looking for photos that reflect your personality and passions, choose locations that speak to you, wear outfits that make you feel amazing, and don’t be afraid to let your personality shine.
To Rachel: Thank you for bringing your energy, ideas, and love for Taylor Swift to this session. You’re going to do incredible things, and I can’t wait to see where life takes you next!
