Panther Beach sits above the water with the kind of view that makes people go quiet. The drop to the water does half the composition work; the wind does its best to undo it. Fair trade.
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 Panther Beach becomes the one guests stop at.
Location: Panther Beach (Santa Cruz)
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.
