Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing Melissa, a professional makeup artist and a mom, at the stunning Honeymoon Island State Park in Florida. This photoshoot was all about showcasing her confidence and grace, and the sunset backdrop couldn't have been more perfect. Melissa looked absolutely radiant, whether posing in her swimsuit in the surf or wrapped in a sarong in the dunes. Her energy and enthusiasm was great.
Honeymoon Island is the Ultimate Beach Destination
Honeymoon Island is one of my favorite locations to shoot at because it offers a range of gorgeous settings. Whether you're looking for white sand, a rocky shoreline or dunes with swaying seagrass, this location has it all. Not to mention, that the sunsets are absolutely magical.
The Importance of Professional Makeup
Melissa's session really highlighted how empowering it can be to step in front of the camera and celebrate yourself. As a professional makeup artist, she knew exactly how to enhance her natural glow for the session. Makeup really does make a difference when it comes to feeling confident in front of the camera. If you're in need of a makeup artist for your next photoshoot, I can't recommend Melissa enough. She knows how to enhance your natural features and will tailor your look to the lighting, location, and style of the shoot. You can reach out to her directly via Instagram at @glambychina to discuss your vision and schedule a session.
How to Feel Comfortable and Confident During Your Beach Shoot
For anyone considering a beach shoot, especially in a swimsuit, confidence is key. One of the best ways to feel comfortable is to bring along something light, like a sarong or a cover-up, which can add variety to your images. If you really want to feel extra unstoppable during your photoshoot bring you BFF along. They'll be your personal cheerleader hyping you up from behind the camera.
At the end of the day, swimsuit photoshoots are all about capturing your confidence and unique beauty. Whether you're a busy mom like Melissa or simply looking to treat yourself to a stunning photoshoot, Honeymoon Island is the perfect backdrop.
