Urban Photos Little Italy San Diego

Taylor & Lissa’s Urban Session | San Diego Couples Photography

My daughter Lissa and her boyfriend Taylor are home from school for the summer, and we headed down to Little Italy to capture some fun dating photos in my favorite urban location. These two have known each other since they were FOUR and have gone to preschool, elementary school, middle school, and high school together. This last year as sophomores at Cal Baptist, they leveled up their friendship.

Can I resist a little-kid photo of these two together? No, I cannot.

A session like this with multiple outfits and locations requires a helper or two! My parents came along and carried all the stuff! It made it extra fun to have them there, and we finished off the evening having dinner at Filippi’s Pizza Grotto, our traditional Italian favorite in the area.

This location is less than a mile from San Diego Lindberg Field airport, and the planes taking off and landing provided natural pauses in our photo session action.

As two firstborns, this competitive pair loves playing games. One of their favorites is SORRY!
