Recently, I had the chance to photograph the Jenkins family at Laguna Beach, one of my favorite spots in Orange County. We chose the area near the Montage Laguna Beach, with its stunning ocean views and natural landscapes, which made the perfect backdrop for their family photos.

Why Laguna Beach is a Great Spot for Family Photos

Laguna Beach offers a mix of scenic cliffs, sandy beaches, and beautiful lighting, making it an ideal location for family sessions. The timing of the Jenkins family shoot was perfect, capturing the soft, golden hour light. The result was a collection of warm, candid moments that reflected the joy and connection in their family.

The Montage area provided a peaceful and picturesque setting for the Jenkins family and their two sweet boys. The session was filled with playful moments between the boys and more intimate family shots. There was no need for forced posing—their natural interactions were what made these images special.

A Family Session with a Focus on Connection

As an Orange County family photographer, my goal is to capture genuine family connections. Whether it’s running along the beach or quiet moments together, I aim to create photos that feel authentic to each family. The Jenkins family, with their easygoing vibe and sweet boys, made this session a joy to photograph.

The stunning coast of Laguna Beach is always a perfect backdrop for family photos, and this session with the Gutierrez family at Montage Resort was no exception. With the waves gently crashing and seagulls flying in the background, it was the perfect setting for creating timeless, lifestyle images. This location in Orange County offers beautiful scenery for family sessions, and it’s always a favorite of mine for its diverse options for stunning coastal shots.

For this family, we opted for a neutral wardrobe, which really brought out the natural colors of the beach while keeping the focus on their loving interactions. These authentic moments make for the best family photography, and it’s always my goal to document families in a way that feels natural and relaxed.

As an Orange County family photographer, I specialize in capturing these genuine connections—whether you’re looking for a beach photoshoot in Laguna Beach, family photos in Palos Verdes, or a session at a nearby Los Angeles or San Diego beach. My focus is on creating images that feel timeless, so families can look back on these memories for years to come.

If you’re looking for a family photographer in Orange County, Los Angeles, or San Diego, or if you’re specifically wanting a beach family photoshoot at iconic locations like Laguna Beach, Palos Verdes, or Newport Beach, reach out!

It was an absolute pleasure to capture the Babluch family during their Laguna Beach maternity session, celebrating the anticipation of their second little one. As a Newport Beach maternity photographer, sessions like these are always a wonderful mix of love, excitement, and tender moments between family members. The stunning backdrop of Newport Beach combined with the glow of an expectant mother creates an unforgettable experience.

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Jessica and Mike Trout during their first Newport Beach maternity session as they eagerly anticipated the arrival of their first son, Beckham Aaron Trout.
