The Brown Family’s San Clemente family photos were simply stunning, capturing the natural beauty of Calafia State Beach. The warm, earthy tones of their neutral wardrobe perfectly complemented the sandy cliffs and rugged boulders of the beach, creating a timeless and serene look. This location, with its large canyons and open spaces, offered the perfect backdrop for a relaxed family photo session.

As an Orange County family photographer, I love photographing families at Calafia State Beach because of its versatility. From the majestic cliffs to the tranquil shoreline, and even the charming train tracks that overlook the ocean, this location offers a variety of beautiful settings that keep kids entertained and engaged throughout the session. The natural scenery here never disappoints, providing the perfect mix of adventure and calm, which is ideal for family photos.

The Browns were dressed in a palette of soft, neutral colors, which blended seamlessly with the warm tones of the landscape. This choice of wardrobe is one I often recommend to my clients, as it brings out the natural beauty of the location without overpowering it. For anyone looking to achieve a cohesive, organic feel for their family photos, neutral tones like these are always a winning choice.

Whether you’re located in Orange County or anywhere along the Southern California coast, I would love to help capture these special moments for your family. San Clemente offers a variety of settings, from the iconic pier to the breathtaking beaches, making it an ideal spot for family sessions.

This session was a special one because one of these sweet girls, (Sophia , age 8yr), is a best friend of my daughters and in her second grade class  . I really love shooting at this location because of the versatility in all the scenic you get ! This spot has incredible hiking trails like the one you see us shooting on below and it offers an incredible view of the ocean! Not to mention, kids always love watching the train go by right along the beach! Just perfect. I truly loved watching these two sisters ( Sophia & Emma) bond in the ocean and run and play, capturing their sweet connection as siblings! I love  getting mommies in these shots too, because even though we tend to hide from the camera, our munchkins will love having these memories to look back on together later! Thank you Sarah for allowing me the privilege to capture these moments of you & your beautiful girls!
