Jocelyn's boho senior portraits were photographed by Acromatico at Bal Harbour Beach in Bal Harbour, Florida, one of the studio's favorite beach locations. Acromatico, a family-run photography and brand studio founded in 2004, captured her free-spirited senior session right at the water's edge in winter.
Senior sessions don't come along too often for Acromatico, but Jocelyn's was one the studio loved. Photographed at Bal Harbour Beach, the session started with Jocelyn sharing her vision, and from there it came easily. The team had never met her before, yet felt an instant connection, and the camera caught her contagious, energetic, free-spirited personality with ease.
The session was full of laughs and a little chaos near the shoreline. Jocelyn was only meant to lie down by the water and tilt her head back, but in technically "winter" Florida weather, with the water no longer warm at 5pm, a wave snatched her in and soaked her completely. She went with it, and turned the session into the boho senior portraits you see here, including the water photos toward the end of the gallery.
“Told her to just lay down by the water and tilt her head back, when a whole wave snatched her in. Despite getting soaked, she went with it and turned this session into this.”
Good to know
Bal Harbour Beach sits in the Village of Bal Harbour, an oceanfront community at the northern tip of Miami Beach in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The beach faces the Atlantic Ocean and is known for its calm, walkable shoreline, making it a favorite spot for portrait sessions. Acromatico counts it among its preferred South Florida beach locations.
If you're planning a senior or portrait session here, keep in mind that "winter" in Florida still means warm air but cooler ocean water by late afternoon, and an incoming wave can reach you closer to shore than expected, as Jocelyn's session proved. Late-day light near 5pm is soft and flattering, which suits a relaxed boho aesthetic. Acromatico works across South Florida and New York City, so beach sessions like this one in Bal Harbour are part of the studio's home territory.
