It’s always such a joy to photograph the Boutelier family, and our sessions have become even more special since their recent move from Los Angeles to Orange County. Having worked with Jenna and her family for years, each session feels like a wonderful reunion as we explore new beach spots in Orange County together. Jenna is truly the sweetest mama, and it’s so clear to see the love and connection she shares with her family in every image. This Newport Beach family session was full of laughter and tender moments, as the Boutelier family embraced the beautiful ocean backdrop with their little ones.

As an Orange County family photographer, it’s always heartwarming to capture families as they grow and change, and I’m grateful to continue documenting the Bouteliers as they settle into their new home here in Orange County. Whether we’re chasing the sunset at the beach or enjoying some playful moments in the sand, every session with them is filled with so much warmth and love.

If you’re looking for a family photographer in Orange County or planning a session in places like Newport Beach or other scenic beaches in Southern California, I’d love to help you capture your family’s unique story. From Los Angeles to Orange County, I specialize in creating natural, timeless portraits that reflect the joy and connection within your family.

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.

Photograph the Generations!

Grandparents are fabulous to photograph because, for the most part, they've given up on being fashion model self-conscious and are more comfortable with who they are. That and the fact that they're absolutely crazy about the grandkids makes for a dream photoshoot. So don't wait until a grandparent is sick or ailing to take photos of them with your children. Make the effort to go get out the camera at every opportunity .

If there's one thing for us to gain from these images, aside from a full heart, it's the reminder that we won't always have them around. So go on, go and photograph the children with their grandparents or book your session. We'll always wish we took more.

 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.
