Some families grow on you. Others? You grow with them. That’s how it’s been with the Hartos family. As their beach photographer in Coronado, I’ve had the honor of photographing their family portraits every single year since Kirstin was pregnant with their youngest, Matthew. And let me tell you—watching a family go from “just the...
Its not very often that men reach out to me for family portraits, it’s usually the wife or girlfriend do the requesting but not with this family. Matt reached out because he wanted to take beach portraits of himself and his brother as a gift to their mom, how sweet is that?!
Family vacations come and go—but photos? They stick around long after the sunburns fade and the sand finally disappears from the car seats. This extended family knew that. That’s why, before fully diving into their week of surf, tacos, and together time in Pacific Beach, CA, they made sure to book something that would last...
As a lifestyle beach photographer in San Diego, I’ve done it all—sunsets, extended families, wild toddlers, you name it. But sessions like this? Where there’s love, movement, and just a dash of chaos? That’s where the good stuff lives. The family hadn’t had professional portraits since baby #2 arrived, so this wasn’t just another day...
The Beckman family, owners of the successful dog training business in Ramona, recently had a family portrait session done on the beautiful beaches of Encinitas. The Beckman’s have been close friends of mine for years. Their love for animals, and many years of experience working with marine mammals, made it a no-brainer for them to...
Thank you to the Nollens family for a fun day at the beach! This family of six is always so much fun. We had a great time exploring the sand and climbing rocks. Their sons are adorable and had fun with my camera! Hendrik’s parents made the long trip all the way from Belgium so...
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...
Coronado Beach is one of my favorite spots to photograph families on the beach. The Fletcher family was visiting from Arizona, so we took advantage of their extended stay and did some portraits at the beach. They were celebrating their parent’s 50th wedding anniversary and wanted to check off this bucket list item for the...
What better way to celebrate your one-year-old’s celebration than by taking them to the beach for some family portraits? This little mermaid turned one and joined her family for some portraits on the beach in La Jolla. I absolutely love the location we chose for this shoot; the most beautiful beach and perfect light! The...
Do you have a mermaid lover in your house? Yes, mermaid. It might sound ridiculous, frivolous, or even just plain silly but those who consider themselves mermaids are just true water lovers at heart! It is a hobby that anyone can join, regardless of age, size or gender. Plus, it’s actually great exercise, especially for your core...
Planning a family vacation to San Diego? Don’t forget to book your family portraits on the beach. I mean San Diego is known for its beaches and beach lifestyle. I’ve been here for over 20 years (originally from Pennsylvania) and I’m always discovering something new about this city! Even the low tides and high tides...
As one of those San Diego family photographers who has seen every shade of navy under the sun, I can tell you this: warm tones are a breath of fresh, salty air. Seriously, if I had a dollar for every family that showed up in cool blues and whites, I could probably buy a beach...
