Post-Thanksgiving Multi-Generation Family Portraits @ Natural Bridges, Santa Cruz CA

Post-Thanksgiving Multi-Generation Family Portraits @ Natural Bridges, Santa Cruz CA

Wow. What an amazing family to photograph at iconic Natural Bridges in Santa Cruz tonight. I always have families meet me at the rear entrance so we can get some forest-vibes shots before we head over to the beach. I’m SO glad I did because the sun coming through the trees + some fresh grass was absolutely beautiful. This was a big group, with grandma at the top, 4 adult kids, each with their own families. It’s tough to get all the combos, but I feel like we most definitely did. Enjoy my 50 favorites from the session, in both forest and beach environments, below. And if you’re looking for a photographer in the Santa Cruz are to expertly capture your rambunctious family, I’m your guy!

Forest and Beach Family Photos @ Natural Bridges in Santa Cruz, CA

Natural Bridges is a great spot as you can start in the forest/field setting at the rear entrance, and end at the beach. The beach is often crowded, especially the money-shot angle that has the natural bridge in the background, so I always start with the more private forested region off Delaware Ave.

This family I swear could all be models, and I had such a fun time capturing how much they adore each other. They even pulled off some pretty well-matched outfits, which is always risky. I think they nailed in, and I’m pretty sure they think I did too!
