I had the pleasure of working with the Moegling family who had just bought a new sailboat. Unfortunately, delivery was delayed by 6 months so they didn’t get a chance to do Christmas cards. Of course, dad (like most dads) didn’t want it to be a big production, just a few photographs of the family...
With a wide variety of cameras available in the market, everyone has now become a photographer. These days, cameras are so handy and easy to use that they have left hardly any need to hire a photographer. All the family functions, friends’ birthday parties, and gala moments are shot by that one person in every...
1. RELAX! I’m serious. Have fun with it. Sounds simple enough, but I think most people don’t know what to expect when they come to a beach photographer to have family portraits taken. They think a photo shoot is walking around to different locations, sitting or standing and smiling at the camera. Beach lifestyle photography...
The Harding family was on vacation from Washington state and weren’t really familiar with the San Diego beaches. So, I took them to Coronado where they can do a family portrait session and then investigate the area afterward.

This sweet couple epitomizes “love thy neighbor”. They are ALWAYS helping out my best friend in one way or another. One day they are painting her house, the next they are helping rid the house of a mouse problem, the next they are gifting her a washer and dryer and the next, their sons are...
This little boy right here, this little nugget was all smiles throughout the entire one hour session. Maybe he is innately happy but maybe it was because I didn’t make him pose for any of the photos, too. I understand that children and babies have very short attention spans and it’s my job to make...
I love when families get together and agree that family portraits are important to them. They know leaving a legacy to their children is worth an hour of their time. We all strolled along the La Jolla rocks at low tide. This La Jolla coastline is always my favorite backdrop. Between the blue waters, the...
The Urich family is very sentimental to me because they were the very last wedding I ever photographed. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I wasn’t able to give them the proper family photos they deserved, which has never happened before! Leave it to me to have 8 years of a wedding photography career and on...
I believe your family deserves to have family photos on the beach, captured forever in beautiful quality artwork that you will cherish forever. Your children will cherish these images too. So show up in t-shirt and jeans if you want. Toss on a tie and your favorite dress but just SHOW UP. It will be...
Low tide goodness. Thats what I call it. Most people wouldn’t think that the ocean tide would matter for your family portraits on the beach but I can guarantee it matters! Low tide produces glassy sand that makes beautiful reflections. Low tide uncovers a whole new world to be discovered. Low tide makes sure that...
Even accounting professionals factor into their budget a little for making memories with the family! Ann is a certified public accountant who made the trek from Sacramento to vacation in San Diego and have some family photos taken on the beach, in La Jolla. To quote from her website, “Ann lives in El Dorado County...
The Corzo family makes a trip to San Diego every year for a convention and usually has their family portraits taken on the beach while they are here. This was my first time meeting them because they were looking to change things up this year. I decided to bring them to my all time favorite...
