I’ve had the privilege of photographing the Tea family for a few years now, and every session is a new, heartwarming experience. For this family beach photoshoot in Newport Beach, we took advantage of the soft, golden hour light to capture the joy and connection of this beautiful family.

Newport Beach offers such a stunning backdrop for family portraits, from its picturesque dunes to the calm waves in the background. The warm, neutral tones of the Tea family’s wardrobe perfectly complemented the natural beach setting, creating timeless, candid moments that truly reflect their bond. This session was all about letting the kids be kids—running through the sand, laughing, and enjoying the fresh ocean breeze.

Why Choose Newport Beach for Family Photos?
Newport Beach is a favorite location for family sessions, thanks to its versatility and beauty. Whether it’s the golden light of sunset or the endless horizon of the ocean, it provides the perfect environment for families to interact naturally, which is exactly what I aim to capture in every session.

This session with the Geer Family at San Clemente Beach was one of my all-time favorites. Despite the overcast sky, the photos turned out absolutely stunning. It just goes to show how beautiful a cloudy day can be for capturing family moments. The soft, natural light of a cloudy day at the beach creates a timeless, serene backdrop, and I love how this session perfectly captured the natural, loving bond between the Geer family.

As an Orange County family photographer, one of my favorite things about shooting on the beaches of San Clemente is the versatility that the location offers. Whether it’s the rolling waves, the iconic lifeguard towers, or the expansive stretches of sand, every element combines to create the perfect canvas for family photography. The Geer Family was such a joy to work with, and their two little ones had so much fun exploring the sand and surf.

If you’re looking for a San Clemente family photographer or want to book a San Clemente Beach family session, don’t hesitate to reach out. I love helping families capture these special moments at the beach, no matter the weather. From the gentle shoreline to the coastal cliffs, Orange County beach sessions always result in beautiful, natural portraits that will be cherished for years to come.

Let me help you preserve these precious family memories with an Orange County family photography session that captures the love, joy, and connection your family shares.

The Bing Family Mommy and Me Session was one of the sweetest I have done to date. As a local to Orange County, Huntington Beach is one of my favorite Orange County Beach locations. Watching this mom of boys chase them around the beach made it really easy to capture the sweet motherhood moments. Often moms are the one taking the photos, trying to capture moments of their children instead of moments with them. Motherhood Sessions, just like family sessions, allow for those intimate moments that we often experience to be captured.

As an Orange County Family photographer I alway strive to find the perfect location for family sessions, locations that allow for great scenery, and also allow for children to run and play which really allow me to capture those candid family moments. Newport Beach is one of my favorite locations to do family beach sessions, and the O'Brien Family was so much fun to work with. Their beach Family Session really allowed me to capture the perfect sunset photos with their children.

I’m excited to share this gorgeous Santa Barbara Family Session on the BLOG with you guys! This mamma is a fellow photographer (of Jennifer Kulakowski Photography) who traveled from Washington DC and asked me to document her sweet family while vacationing here! I have to admit its always nerve wracking shooting other photogs in the industry but this mammas is too sweet for words and her adorable (and incredibly photogenic) family made my job super easy! We had gorgeous sunset light and the entire stretch of beach to ourselves this night , it was a perfect evening for a family session!

 I love giving the children in our session free roam to play and run around, capturing their real selves, their little but oh so BIG personalities as they interact with mom & dad in front my camera. Play is the key in a successful family session. Lots of tickling, chasing, jumping , splashing - I live to capture that raw beauty that lies within family connection. Sometimes asking a toddler or child to sit still and smile doesn't exactly give us a true memory of them at this age, this is why I feel its important to sing with them , giggle with them, ask them questions. This is how I capture family sessions, like a casual day with mom & dad at the beach.
