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...
San Diego beach photographer here, reporting for baby birthday cuteness duty: What better way to celebrate your baby turning one than by taking them to the beach for a sun-soaked beach photo session that captures everything from their squishy cheeks to their cake-smashing skills? This little mermaid just hit the big O-N-E, and I got...
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...
As your friendly family vacation photographer La Jolla, I can tell you: this city is begging to be documented. I’ve lived here for over 20 years—moved from Pennsylvania and never looked back—and San Diego still surprises me. One minute, it’s golden hour and pelicans are photobombing your sunset. The next? The tide rolls out and...
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...
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...
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...
A rare sighting of some San Diego locals. A lot of my clients are visiting from out of town but not the Hartos family. They live right here in San Diego and took time out of their day to capture some lifestyle portraits of the fleeting moments of childhood. Little Matthew was in a great...
The Harding family was on vacation from Washington state and weren’t really familiar with the San Diego beaches. So, I took them to Coronado where they can do a family portrait session and then investigate the area afterward. Coronado Island is filled with little gems everywhere, including some great restaurants. The Hotel Del Coronado is...
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.
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...
