Parking

Parking is tricky here, especially on weekends. Try street parking on El Paseo Grande or La Jolla Shores Drive or any of the adjacent residential streets. There is paid parking near Caroline’s Seaside Cafe, but it’s not always available. Best to come early and be prepared for a walk. Some clients have needed to park as far away as La Jolla Shores Beach parking lot.

Bring

Please remember to bring a towel and change of clothes. My clients often get wet! If you have young children, bring a snack and special treat (aka bribe).

What to Wear

Please refer to my styling guide. I will email you the password to access Style & Select.

Shoes, etc.

I recommend flip-flops that you can kick off when you get to the sand. We don’t worry about “real shoes” for beach sessions. I’ll also ask you and your party to remove gum, hats, hair ties on wrists, sunglasses, and smart watches/FitBits.
