Three Generations of Smiles at Four Mile Beach

We took the family up to Four Mile Beach, where the ocean fills the bottom of every photo whether you plan it or not.

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 in the hallway, the kids grow three shoe sizes, and the print from Four Mile Beach becomes the one guests stop at.

Location: Four Mile Beach (Santa Cruz)

The whole shoot, not just the highlights

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.
