A Crystal Pier Christmas | San Diego Family Photographer

Daniela’s beautiful family needed to schedule their photos quickly since their Navy dad was shipping out for the holiday season. Fortunately, the weekend they were available was perfection! Gorgeous, buttery sunset light, low tides, warm weather. The girls were perfect models, and I love Daniela’s styling! I’m so glad we got to make these memories. From Daniela:

We are a military family, and as the holidays were fast approaching, I thought I had more time to plan a family photo session; well, the Navy decided my time frame was even shorter than I thought. It was a Wednesday, and my husband informed me he was leaving on Monday (Got to love the military life). I panicked just a little, realizing I had not planned our family pictures. Knowing he will also be deployed for Christmas next year, I contacted Amy. I had seen her work and figured she would be booked; I said a little prayer and went for it. Right away, I got a response saying we could make it work!! Her willingness to do this for our family was so heartwarming and a blessing for our little family. The day of the shoot was perfect in every way! She gave us all the tips before the shoot and during the shoot. Now we have our beautiful pictures and Christmas cards! I told my husband we did it and pulled it off, but in reality, Amy was the one who did it. She captured the most precious moments of our family and delivered them so fast that we could share them with our family and friends. If you are looking for a photographer, she is your gal. She gives you and your kids the right direction to avoid those awkward moments of not knowing what to do. She spends every minute of the shoot capturing those precious moments. I look forward to our future photo sessions with Amy. I 100% recommend her.
