Little Boy with Sword Dodging Waves on the Beach

La Jolla Family Photography | San Diego Weeks

I consider it a gift to be able to capture this little growing-up family, even when their favorite beach choices take us somewhere extra-splashy, like La Jolla! I never thought to include a pirate sword in a family portrait session, but after Coco’s demonstration, I’m beginning to think I might need to add one to my prop bag, along with a cowboy hat. It was a magical evening with lots of flouncy dresses, spinning, and getting clobbered by waves. A+
