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...
Family vacation photographer La Jolla reporting for memory-making duty. The Bonneville family flew in from Pennsylvania with sand between their toes and a dream: finally getting those picture-perfect beach family photos they’d been talking about for years. And spoiler alert—they nailed it. Turns out, the mom already had an eye for artistic, natural-light photography (a...
The water clarity in San Diego is always difficult to predict that’s why I usually photograph all of my underwater portraits in swimming pools. But on this rare occasion, Kaitlyn and I headed out to La Jolla Shores for an impromptu session to show off her gorgeous mermaid tail. Although the hazy water makes things...
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. And let me just say: when a whole family manages to be in the same city, at the same time, it’s basically a unicorn moment....
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. They think a photoshoot is walking around to different locations, sitting or standing, and smiling at the camera. Beach lifestyle photography is...
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. They’re San Diego locals—the kind who don’t need GPS to find the best taco truck or the perfect hidden beach trail. And yet, even in a...
Family Vacation Photos Coronado Beach are basically a rite of passage if you’re visiting San Diego—and the Harding family absolutely nailed it. They flew in from Washington state, trading in pine trees and drizzle for palm trees and sunshine. And let me just say, they made the right choice. When they told me they weren’t...
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. This year they decided to have their family photos taken on the beach in San Diego. So, of course, I took them to one of my favorites, in La Jolla.
Dogs Aren’t Just Pets—They’re Basically the Favorite Child (And yes, they absolutely come on vacation too.) 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. They flew in from Chandler, Arizona for their son’s soccer tournament...
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. Shannon reached out to me because she wanted to create something truly meaningful for her parents—who are both...
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...
