KELLEEN HITE

Nocatee is a great backdrop for a shorter senior session especially for a senior who wants something lush and green instead of sand and sun. Shaded trails, open grassy lawns, and boardwalks give this session a completely different feel than a beach shoot, all without leaving the Ponte Vedra area. Nocatee even has intercoastal areas and water axis for eastern skies at sunset.

Big oaks + miles of boardwalk= a natural vibe

Senior Photos in Nocatee

Miles of shaded trails wind through Nocatee, giving us open lawns and tree cover for a completely different feel than a beach session. It's a favorite for a senior who wants something lush and green in their gallery. This works perfect for a mini session, since it gives you multiple looks in a close area. 

Timing & Getting Around

Miles of shaded trails wind through Nocatee, giving us open lawns and tree cover for a completely different feel than a beach session. It's a favorite for a senior who wants something lush and green in their gallery. The clubhouse at Crosswater is also a great addition! Nocatee also has water access, parks and wide open green, and grassy spaces. Add in the little village at the center, and you have a wide variety of locations in a small area, which is perfect for a shorter session! 

The Nocatee Paths & Town

Nocatee gives us a soft, natural, tree lined look that's hard to find anywhere else on this list. Its also near the beach, and Guana, so gives you the "town" feel but close enough to be added on to the areas that surround it. 

Why Nocatee
 works for Senior Photos

Q

&

A

Mainly the Nocatee Greenway trails and the boardwalks, including a few spots along the Intracoastal. We'll pick the mix based on your style and how lush or structured you want the gallery to feel.

Golden hour still looks beautiful here, and along the Intracoastal, shooting east at sunset can give us soft pink and blue sky colors too. The shaded trails also stay comfortable outside golden hour, so there's more flexibility on timing than a straight beach session.

Yes, this is one of the best options for that. It's lush, green, and shaded, a completely different feel than sand and sun.

A few weeks out is plenty, since the shaded trails give more flexibility than a beach session tied tightly to golden hour.

Yes. Both are close by and this combination is popular, greenway, oceanfront, and reserve all in one afternoon if that's what you're picturing.
