Couple Walking on the Beach

Michelle & Robert Celebrate 27 Years | San Diego Beach Photography

Michelle and Robert traveled to San Diego from New Mexico to celebrate their 27th anniversary this year, and Michelle made a special point to mark the occasion with the first professional portrait session they’ve had in over 25 years. She reached out at the first of the year, when New Year’s resolutions are fresh, and told me about her vision for a dreamy sunset session at Crystal Pier during their March trip. Michelle’s been vacationing here since she was a child, and Pacific Beach is a special favorite. This couple has a whole decade’s worth of memories of yearly trips to PB, so it really was the perfect location for their session (not to mention that it’s one of my TOP beach spots—because look at that light!!). I loved her vision right away, and I love how these images turned out.
