La Jolla Beach Family Photography is what dreamy babymoon memories are made of. Just ask the McCrea family, who road-tripped from Palm Desert to San Diego for a little R&R… and a lot of sand between their toes. They booked a beach session in La Jolla to document life as a soon-to-be family of four (or five, if you count that sweet beach dog energy).

Now, I know what you’re thinking—cloudy skies? For our beach portraits? But let me tell you: professional photographers live for that soft, overcast glow. It’s like the universe set up a giant light diffuser just for your face. No harsh shadows, no squinting, no makeup-melting sun. Just beautiful, balanced natural light portraits that make everyone look like they slept 10 hours and drank their green juice.

The McCreas were effortlessly sweet, laid-back, and totally present—which is exactly the vibe we aim for with lifestyle beach photography in La Jolla. Their little one ran wild in the sand, mom glowed without even trying, and dad nailed the windswept-holding-a-toddler look like a pro. These maternity portraits at Windansea felt like a page out of a lifestyle magazine…but more real.
