This is more than senior pictures.
Team Beach is a year of trying new things, cheering on other girls, building genuine connections, and creating memories that extend far beyond the photographs. Every styled shoot and team event is intentionally designed to grow confidence, celebrate authentic beauty, and remind you that you don’t need to become someone else to be worthy of celebrating. You can confidently embrace who God created you to be.
four signature group shoots
Winter Kickoff • Met Gala Glam
Unfiltered • Art Studio
Four completely different creative concepts designed to give you unforgettable experiences, beautiful photographs, and even more ways to celebrate your senior year.
Professional hair and makeup
On top of four fully styled signature shoots, professional hair and makeup are also included for both the Winter Kickoff and Met Gala Glam. You’ll begin those two experiences feeling pampered, polished, and confident, with even more time to connect before stepping in front of the camera.
Team event and community
Team Beach creates space for genuine friendships to grow through shared shoots, our August team event, and a community where every girl is encouraged, celebrated, and known.
your individual senior experience
Every Team Beach member receives the full Maria Beach Photography senior experience. We’ll plan every detail together, from outfits and locations to the little touches that make your session feel completely personal. Afterward, we’ll meet for your Gallery Reveal, where you’ll see your images for the first time and choose the artwork you love. Images and artwork from your individual senior session are purchased separately and are not included in the Team Beach investment.
Optional Destination Experience
Team members will have the opportunity to join an optional mother-daughter destination experience. The inaugural team will help choose where we go, creating an unforgettable trip filled with connection, adventure, and beautiful photographs together.
Travel, lodging, and related expenses are separate.
Team beach perks and rewards
Team members receive a welcome gift, priority senior-session scheduling, and optional opportunities to earn print credit and cash rewards by sharing their experience and referring friends. There are no required social media posts or referral quotas.

Important Details
Small, selective team
Team Beach is intentionally kept small to foster genuine connection and give every member a personal, meaningful experience.
Parent involvement required
Team Beach requires both a time and financial commitment. A parent or guardian must attend the meeting and be fully involved in the decision to join.
Attendance expectations
Members are expected to attend all four signature shoots and the team event. Dates will be selected with the team’s availability in mind so everyone has the best opportunity to participate.
Included individual senior session
Every member receives her own individual senior session during the Team Beach priority scheduling window. We’ll design the experience around your personality, style, and story.
Paid experience
Team Beach is a paid experience. Complete investment details and available payment options will be explained during the required parent-and-senior meeting before any commitment is made.
Faith-rooted and welcoming
Team Beach is rooted in my faith and the belief that every girl is intentionally created by God and worthy of being known and celebrated. You do not need to share my faith to apply, but you should be comfortable with it being part of the heart behind the team.
After you apply
After applications close, selected applicants will be invited to attend a parent-and-senior meeting. Following the meetings, final Team Beach invitations will be extended. A place on the team is officially reserved after the required agreement and investment are completed.
Senior photography exclusivity
Team Beach members agree to use Maria Beach Photography exclusively for their senior portrait experience. This does not prevent participation in school, sports, prom, family, or event photography with other photographers.
Applying without a friend
You do not need to know anyone else or apply with a friend. Team Beach is intentionally small and designed to create space for new connections to grow throughout the experience.

Team Beach: The 2028 Senior Collective
I built Team Beach from a desire for senior girls to see the truth of who God created them to be: beautiful, known, and deeply loved. My hope is to create a space where you can show up fully as yourself, build genuine connections with other girls, and step into your senior year more confident in who you are.
The photographs will preserve the memories, but the connection, joy, and growth are what make this experience so much more than senior pictures.
