I’m sure you know how RARE it is when the entire family gathers together. I’m sure you realize how quickly your children are growing. I can’t think of a better time to get professional family portraits done than when you’ve taken the time to make family a priority. The Coronado sand dunes are one of...
The entire Marcelo family was visiting San Diego, from Hawaii, and gathered together on the beach in La Jolla for some fun and candid photography. There are a few that let loose and a few that were on the more serious side and that’s okay. However, it IS my goal to get you out of...

The Hawton family always gets family photos taken while they’re on vacation…Glacier National Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, Grand Teton to name a few.

Shannon contacted me for a family portrait session on the beach in San Diego. Her parents are almost 80 and she really wanted to make the photoshoot memorable for them.

The McCrea family took a little babymoon to San Diego from Palm Dessert. We photographed their little family of 3 on the beach in La Jolla, on a cloudy day.
