Coronado Beach Proposal Photos by Amy Gray Photography

Such an exciting session! When Kyle contacted me months ahead of time to see about our session, I could tell he was a planner! He arranged a session with his girlfriend Randi and her little boy, and he told me that he wanted to propose DURING the session! We worked out a signal so I’d know when he was ready to pop the question, and it was so much fun capturing Randi’s reaction! Congratulations to all three of you!

Family Portraits on Coronado Beach in San Diego

I just loved everything about this sweet family, with their five kids who were all happy to get a little wet in the waves. We all had a great time making these images! It was hard to choose favorites!

Tween Portraits in Urban San Diego, CA by Amy Gray

You only turn thirteen once. When my daughter asked for a self-styled photo session for herself and two of her BFFs for her birthday, I thought of an area of town I have driven through hundreds of times, each time thinking “I bet that would make a good urban photo session spot.” I didn’t even scout it before we headed over there, girls all decked out in their favorite-color attire. They had a great time experimenting with the (rather out-of-character) “grungy, urban” look, and we were all amazed when we stumbled on huge graffiti art depicting Bible verses, a cross, and the words “Jesus Saves.” I couldn’t believe the way God set that up! Such grace. As Lissa embarks on her teen years, this photo session with her friends was a visual of how God shows up in the most unexpected places . . . and that light makes even un-pretty things beautiful.

La Jolla Beach Family Portraits | San Diego Photographer Amy Gray

I have to admit that the La Jolla shoreline is not my number one choice for a beach session, merely because the contingency plans for full sun or high tide conditions there are not as good as those elsewhere in the county (like my two favorite beaches!). HOWEVER, this client has a special place in her heart for La Jolla, and so it really needed to be there! When I showed up to Windansea and found the perfect tide AND the perfect cloud cover . . . and then the client showed up with kiddos dressed in these bold, fun colors, I was so glad we were at La Jolla! I got SO WET doing this session, and it was SO much fun!!

Beach to the Beach for more Family Photography of Vacationers

I had an almost three-week break from beach sessions, so it was fun to get back out on the sand last week! I had the perfect clients to get me back into the swing of things, too, because they were fun, happy, and adventurous! Even though it was chilly (it WAS January, after all!), they were happy to put their toes in the water, and their clothing selections were spot on for the sunset on that clear evening. Looking forward to many more fun beach sessions in 2017!
