Some sessions you plan around the tide chart. This one at Capitola Beach landed right where sand, light, and the family all showed up at the same time.
The direction on a family session is mostly invisible. Keep everyone moving, keep the jokes coming, and catch the in-between moments where the real relationships show. Nobody stands in a line staring at a lens unless they want to.
One of these ends up as the holiday card, a couple land on the grandparents' fridge, and at least one gets framed before the week is out. Decent return on an hour at Capitola Beach.
Location: Capitola Beach (Capitola)
Here’s a few highlights from this shoot. Most photographers only ever show a static portfolio of their very best images. I think every potential client should see more than that: the full shoots themselves. Nothing sets expectations like seeing multiple sessions at one location in different weather, times of day, and seasons. We get amazing photos no matter what, and we’re not afraid to show you.
