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

The Parker family’s connection and warmth, set against the serene Orange County spring landscape, shines through in every photo.

It has been such a privilege to capture the Breiner family since their first child was born, and now to witness and document the addition of their newest little one fills my heart with so much joy. As an Orange County family and newborn photographer, there’s something incredibly special about getting to watch a family grow over the years, from one newborn session to the next. It’s these milestones—moments that are both fleeting and monumental—that make lifestyle newborn sessions so meaningful.

This Newport Beach newborn session was filled with beautiful, natural moments of love and connection. The way the family embraced the calmness of their home created the perfect backdrop to capture not only the newest addition but the entire family dynamic. From playful moments with big brother to the peaceful snuggles of newborn life, every image reflects the warmth and love in their home.


Photographing these milestones reminds me of the importance of freezing these moments in time—moments that feel like they’ll last forever but pass by in the blink of an eye. It’s a true joy and honor to continue capturing the Breiner family as they grow, and I look forward to many more sessions with them as the years go by.

If you’re looking for a newborn or family photographer in Orange County or surrounding areas like Los Angeles or San Diego, I would love to help you document your family’s journey through timeless, heartfelt images.

Welcoming newborn twins is such a special and unique experience, and I had the absolute honor of capturing the Kovack family as they welcomed their first set of twin girls into their lives.

I’m always thrilled to help preserve these milestones, knowing how fleeting those early newborn days are.

The session was filled with cuddles, laughter, and quiet moments of awe as the family embraced their new chapter.

I’ve had the honor of photographing the Calhoun family since Jennifer was pregnant with Knox. Now they are expecting their baby girl, Lennox , any day now and I get to be a part of witnessing their beautiful family grow. I always feel so incredibly honored when a family chooses me to capture their family as it grows because it feels like I am a part of the journey with them .

This family though, let me tell you- they are some of the kindest most humble people you’ll ever meet. Jennifer is a gem, always glowing as a mamma to Knox and as a wife. You can feel her love for that sweet boy of theirs and it’s so deep and beautiful, makes me never want to put my camera away. Not to mention, each time we get together for a session, it feels like Jen and I are long time friends catching up, we laugh a ton and just have fun during her session.

This Newport Beach maternity session was a dream, not only because of the sweet overcast day we lucked out with , but because this family is the sweetest to capture . Can’t wait to meet their baby girl soon!
