This recent family session with the Inthavong family at San Clemente’s Calafia State Beach was an absolute dream. With neutral-toned outfits, the family blended perfectly with the earthy tones of the stunning cliffs and natural boulders surrounding the beach. If you’re looking for a location that offers breathtaking views of both the ocean and rugged canyon landscapes, Calafia State Beach is the perfect spot for your family photo session.

One of the highlights of this session was how much fun the children had exploring the big canyons and boulders, with the ocean breeze adding to the beauty of the moment. Calafia State Beach also features a unique train track that overlooks the water, making it a magical place to capture genuine family moments.

As an Orange County family photographer, I specialize in capturing natural, lifestyle-inspired photography that brings out the authentic connections between families. I always encourage clients to wear neutral, earthy tones, which create timeless photos and allow the natural surroundings to shine.

If you’re considering booking a family photo session in San Clemente or anywhere in Orange County, I highly recommend Calafia State Beach for its versatility and incredible views. Whether it’s a playful moment with the kids or a candid, loving embrace, the location offers plenty of opportunities to create stunning family portraits.

When creating imagery for families, I hope to tell their story. I hope that what I create allows the viewer to go back in time for a moment, relishing in the sentiment of that chapter of his/her life , as a way to still hold onto it, in a sense. We all know time can be a fleeting thing but creating imagery that reflects the stage of life you are in now , allows you to re-live that beautiful moment again later. Photographs are what keep us connected ; reminding us of people, places, feelings, and stories.

Whether its remembering as a child how you flew high in the air when dad jumped on the trampoline with you, the nostalgia of moms scent when you cuddled up beside her with a book, or the sound of notes on the piano playing in the house with your fur-babies crowding around your feet; all of it encompasses a part of your story, a sliver of their childhood . Photographs are a way to savor that. Reminds me of my fav quote ; “You never know the value of a photograph, until its all you have left“. Ain’t that the truth though? Something to ponder when considering whether to take the picture or be in the picture. ;)

Lucky for me, I get to go into Orange County homes capturing the mundane everyday life moments you have with your little babes! Being an OC Lifestyle Photographer feels like a dream sometimes! I mean, I get to witness & capture the rawness of your family in the home where all the love grows , how special is that?

Just remember, you document something, you get to have it forever. <3
