The Tea Family | Newport Beach Family Beach Photos | Orange County Family Photographer |

Cori Kleckner Photography | SoCal Family Photographer | Beach Photos on Film

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.

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
