The family met us at Rio Del Mar Beach with the ocean doing what it does best: giving everyone something to react to.
From there we moved to Seacliff State Beach, trading one backdrop for another without losing the light.
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 Rio Del Mar Beach.

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.
