SENIOR PICTURE INSPO AT FOLSOM LAKE | SCARLETT - GRANITE BAY HIGH SCHOOL
Senior Picture Inspo at Folsom Lake | Scarlett - Granite Bay High School
If you're looking for senior picture inspo that captures your unique self and your vibe, Scarlett's senior pictures at Folsom Lake is exactly that. As a Granite Bay High School senior, Scarlett wanted photos that felt soft, beautiful, and so her—and Folsom Lake delivered.
A Dreamy Sunset Vibe for a Sweet Senior
Scarlett started out a little shy (which is totally normal!), but by the end of the session, she was glowing with confidence. She told me she wanted a dreamy, golden-hour vibe, and wow—she nailed it. We timed her shoot just before sunset to get that warm light. One of my favorite moments? Watching her run barefoot across the beach into the setting sun. Pure freedom, pure joy.
Five Outfits, Endless Variety
Scarlett brought five perfectly curated outfits that gave her so much variety, without feeling overdone. Her looks ranged from casual to whimsical:
Jeans and a cute top – a relaxed, easygoing start to the session.
Long white flowy dress – total ethereal goddess energy in the golden light.
Boho skirt and crop top – perfect for twirling on the trails.
Jean skirt, boots, and a cute top – stylish and a little rustic.
Overalls with fresh flowers tucked in the pockets – playful and unexpected!
Bonus: She brought a bouquet of fresh flowers that we tucked into her boots and overalls for a touch of whimsy. Those little styling choices? They make a big visual impact in photos.
Why Folsom Lake is a Senior Photo Dream
We explored a few different areas of Folsom Lake—some shady trails, smooth granite rocks, and a little beachy cove that gave us the perfect spot to catch the sunset. The mix of textures and natural light makes this location ideal for seniors who want both adventure and elegance.
If you're searching for a Folsom photographer who knows all the best hidden spots and how to work with the light, you're in the right place.
An Experience That Leaves You Glowing
Scarlett shared this after her session:
"Before the photo shoot I was unsure of how it was going to go because I hadn’t done professional pictures before, but Michelle made me feel so comfortable and it was a super fun experience. There’s nothing scary about it and I like that she shows you pictures on the back of the camera throughout so you can see how beautiful they are. I was so surprised at how fun it was and I walked away feeling so good about myself. Absolutely loved having my pictures done by Michelle!!"
During the image reveal, Scarlett’s mom even teared up. It’s such an honor to walk families through this special milestone and help them design keepsakes they’ll treasure forever—from albums to wall art to prints, because I don’t just give you a download link, I walk you through everything so that we make sure all your favorites are printed for memories that last.
