It was an honor to photograph this special family from our church on such a beautiful May evening on Coronado. They were celebrating a graduation and the coming of summer, and I was celebrating the lightly-cloudy sky that is absolutely my favorite for beach sessions!

This darling family from Arizona carved some time out of their San Diego trip to get some new family portraits. Their three boys had a great time splashing around and goofing off in the surf. Their neutral and blue outfits played so nicely off the soft sky that evening and I was so pleased with how the photos turned out.

Twins made this family beach shoot twice the fun! Both kids had a ton of fun playing at the beach as we captured some vacation memories for their family.

Not sure how to dress for your family portrait? This family did a great job of coordinating without being matchy-matchy. You can see all their colors are similar in tone- and there aren’t loud or distracting patterns- which makes the photos “timeless” and lets their personalities shine! We were lucky enough to get some pink skies that matched the girls’ dresses- but that’s not something you can plan!
