Little Boy on the Beach at Sunset

September Family Portraits at the Hotel Del Coronado

Every day in the early fall, the Coronado sunset sun creeps closer to the end of Point Loma, and I watch as the real change in seasons edges closer. San Diego summers last and last, and some of my favorite “summer” sessions happen in September and October, when the light is still warm and glowy and the empty beaches make a perfect backdrop for a fun session like this. The first photograph that beautiful evening was taken before I even met my sweet clients! As I arrived at our meeting place, they were checking out a sandy hill. I quickly took this candid silhouette shot, which became one of their favorites—and mine.
