Low key I knew I was going to be obsessed with taking A’s senior photos in Galveston Beach. As you know Texas beaches are one of my favorite family photoshoot locations. Plus One of An’s very first photo sessions with me was in good old Galveston!
As your favorite Houston Senior Photographer I know how important choosing the right location is to you loving your senior pics and showing off your vibe. For the senior girl who loves summer tans, sunshine’y weather, sand between her toes and beachy waves Galveston’s East Beach is perfect.
This Beach Destination is Perfect for Senior Photos
1. If you love summer and your aesthetic is bright and happy!
Warm buttery golden light, sunsets and the sound of waves are all unique to this Texas vacation destination. This location is a photographer playground and a senior girls dream spot because there are such a variety in backdrop options. Rustic and grungy, The Historic Strand has endless options. Vacation Vibes galore with palm tree lined streets. If you are looking for glamorous and pretty the San Luis and Hotel Galvez can not be beat. Are you looking for a fun and playful backdrop? Then Pleasure Pier has got you covered. Finally, the endless shoreline and spectacular Texas Gulfcoast will be the perfect ending to a relaxed and unique senior session.
2. If you hate being hot in photos.
Stay away from the Texas heat but dipping your toes in the Galveston waves. Plus that ocean breeze is always blowing and keeping things a little cooler on the coast as well as providing that super model wind for photos.
3. You play a fall sport.
If you play a fall sport or your fall is always super hectic then shooting your senior pics in Galveston in the summer is the perfect choice. Not to mention you will be ahead of the game when it comes to yearbook, NCL and senior slideshow deadlines. Oh and talk about having senior pics to cover every single #SeniorSunday post!
4. You want adventure and variety in your senior session.
Galveston has an abundance of “looks” to elevate your senior pictures but also ensure they are unique! I captured four 2025 seniors in Galveston Beach nd every single gallery looked totally different and had completely different styles.
