As the beach photographer, I had the pleasure of working with the Smith family, who came to California from Arizona for vacation. They brought their mom along and wanted to take advantage of their trip by getting a family portrait session done in addition to visiting Disneyland.

We decided to do the session at a nearby beach in Newport Beach, which provided a beautiful and natural backdrop for the family. The family was all dressed in coordinating outfits and were ready to have a good time.

The session started off with some group shots of the whole family, including their mom. It was clear that they were a close-knit family and the love they had for each other was evident in the pictures. You could even see the love of the siblings, as they came up with fun poses for each other. I also captured some candid moments of them playing on the beach and having fun together.

We then focused on individual shots of each family member with their mom, as they wanted to make sure to capture the special bond they shared. The mother was beaming with pride and love as she hugged and kissed each of her children.

The session was a great success, and the family was thrilled with the results. They left with beautiful memories of their vacation and their love for each other captured forever in the pictures. It was a pleasure to work with such a lovely family and I am sure they will treasure these pictures for years to come.
