Extended Family Portraits for San Diego locals

Mikki’s extended family is all local to San Diego, but even then it can be hard to round everyone up! We dodged some rainy days and met up in Pacific Beach on a beautiful evening with soft, even lighting that accentuated the closeness of this family. Oh, how these cousins love each other!
