Extended Family Beach Photographer here, Let’s be honest—getting the entire family together in one place? That’s rarer than a parking spot at the beach on a Sunday. And catching everyone in the same city, not to mention the same mood, long enough to snap a beautiful photo? Practically a unicorn. Which is why, when you...
Vacation beach photographer here, reporting from La Jolla, Ca, where the entire Marcelo family—visiting from Hawaii—ditched their flip-flops and made the most of their time together in sunny La Jolla.

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.

Coronado Beach Family Photography doesn’t always mean vacationers and suitcases—sometimes it’s the locals who know best. Enter the Hartos family, rare unicorns in my calendar of mostly out-of-town clients.

Family Vacation Photos Coronado Beach are basically a rite of passage if you’re visiting San Diego—and the Harding family absolutely nailed it.

The Dobson family booked a session for family photography Coronado Beach with a lifestyle beach photographer (hi, that’s me!) to capture this fleeting, unforgettable time in their lives.

You know what makes a beach session in La Jolla unforgettable? A beach lifestyle photographer and a family who show up ready to embrace the chaos, the salt, the sand, and maybe even a little splash war.

The Curtis family flew in from San Antonio, Texas for a little California dreaming. College tours, beach time, and a solid break from the Texas heat? Yes, please. While they were in the area, we also carved out time for family portraits Windansea style. Their daughter Caroline is thinking about going to college in California—so...
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.
