An Evening Light Family Session at Manhattan Beach / Ritz Carlton HMB

The family met us at Manhattan Beach / Ritz Carlton HMB with the ocean doing what it does best: giving everyone something to react to.

Twenty years of family sessions teaches you the timing. When to direct, when to disappear, and when to just let a moment finish before raising the camera.

Sand in the car, tired kids, a camera full of keepers. That is a good day at Manhattan Beach / Ritz Carlton HMB.

Location: Manhattan Beach / Ritz Carlton HMB (Half Moon Bay)

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.
