Crescent Bay Beach is located in North Laguna Beach.  With its stunning natural features and unique backdrop possibilities, it is one of the best beaches in Laguna for senior pictures.   Are a senior guy or girl wanting to have a photo shoot with a cool coastal vibe?  Or do you dream of a session at sunset with all the pastel colors and soft lighting.  Either way, Crescent Bay beach is the perfect choice for your senior pics.

So what makes Crescent Bay beach special?

This beach is nestled along the California coastline with an entrance to the beach on both the north and south sides.  Since the beach is situated in a neighborhood, it can be difficult to find.  That is why we consider this spot a hidden gem.  Unfortunately the parking is very limited.  However, it is well worth the trouble of finding parking, because it is typically a tourist free location.

What to Wear to this senior photography session?

This location is the perfect spot for a flowy sundress, casual jeans and a sweater or your college gear.  Because of the variety in backgrounds, you can choose from a wide range of colors for your clothing.   Sunset colors, neutral tones, cool blue tones and cream and white look amazing on this beach.

Let’s explore what makes Crescent Bay Beach a perfect choice for senior photography:
