I’m going to assert that this beach Barbie photoshoot brings all Malibu vibes even if it was from just a smidge north up the coastline. 🙂
With the palm trees in the background, this brought all the beachy, California feelings!

Why a Barbie photoshoot for senior photos? Because it’s fun! This playful concept was a fun match for this senior’s personality.

Barbie Photoshoot Ideas
While the typical approach for a Barbie photoshoot is to get a life-size box to pose inside, this session is a nod to the Barbie look and lifestyle with less of the doll vibes. It’s a more natural take that I think clients would find very appealing. They can push the doll side of things in their Instagram captions, or they could lean into the beachy, California fun side! It’s their choice.

How fun is this?!

Photos from this beautiful Barbie photoshoot were taken at the amazing Snapshot Photography Conference in Santa Barbara. I had an amazing time and wholeheartedly recommend this workshop.
