We had some beautiful weather this day, and the light was a little better than last time – plus I had an […]

It’s always great to capture 3 generations in one photo shoot, especially at a fun location like Seabright Beach in Santa Cruz. It’s no easy task to coordinate four families and their schedules for one shoot, especially when they don’t all live in the area. Luckily the stars were in alignment, the weather was gorgeous, […]

OK, so there’s a lot more photos in this post than is typical for a family portrait session, but Tom and Kristin have five photogenic, fun kids that made it really hard for me to narrow them down. They live near Seascape beach in Aptos, so it was a natural choice for their family photo […]

Verona and Paul’s wedding is coming up in a few weeks, so we couldn’t put off their engagement shoot any longer! Luckily the November weather cooperated, giving us a beautiful setting at Panther Beach (where it’s usually exceptionally windy).

Capitola Beach is one of my favorite locations for taking family photos – kids love the beach, and everything from the colorful beach-side houses to the wooden pier make for incredible backdrops for family portraits. I met this family of four under the pier for their session, getting some formal group shots of them before […]
