Salt air fixes stiff shoulders faster than any posing direction. Ten minutes into Capitola Beach and everyone had forgotten the camera was there.
Then UC Santa Cruz: same golden hour, new scene.
The playbook: start loose, sneak the posed group shots into the middle while everyone is warm, and end on something fun so the last memory of the session is a good one.
The photographs from days like this earn their keep slowly. They go up on a wall, the kids grow, and one day the session at Capitola Beach is the version of the family everyone remembers.
Locations: Capitola Beach (Capitola) · UC Santa Cruz (Santa Cruz)
