Three Generations of Smiles at Rio Del Mar Beach

The family met us at Rio Del Mar Beach with the ocean doing what it does best: giving everyone something to react to.

A short hop later we were at Seascape Beach & Resort, which reads completely differently on camera. Two locations, one session, twice the variety.

Then Seacliff State Beach: same low sun, new scene.

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.

Locations: Rio Del Mar Beach (Aptos) · Seascape Beach & Resort (Santa Cruz) · Seacliff State Beach (Aptos)

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.
