Family Portraits at Crystal Pier | Special Needs Photography

Beth’s family was stationed twice in San Diego before her husband Curt retired from the Navy, so to celebrate their 50th anniversary, the whole family converged on a VRBO in La Jolla. They came from Colorado and Texas, and they wanted family portraits on the beach to commemorate their time together. Beth shared that her 15-year-old grandson Aidan has autism and that it might be difficult to get a genuine smile, but it turned out Aidan LOVES the beach, and we captured some stunners where Aidan’s personality and love for his family really shined through. Such a favorite session. <3
