Teanna set up a shoot for her family, her mother in law who was in town and also her own mother. Such a great idea! Reminds me I need to take photos of my kids with my parents who are right here in town more often. Here are a few faves from this winter beach session.
This last one is my favorite kind of beach family shot. I do it whenever I can because I think everyone should get to see their family this cute!
I am falling behind on my blog posts of clients. I have a few more stacked up ready to show… or really for me to put together anyway. First up though are two families who are actually related but photographed separately:) Love props, love kids in cute super hero shirts. Some really great images… see below:)
and the Hacker family:)
Enjoy !
The second day of photo sessions was down on the beach just north of Wind and Sea in La Jolla. It was a cold and kind of wet weekend but just dry enough and bright enough for perfect beach photos. I actually do not like sunny days for photo shoots at the beach. Overcast with a glow is ideal. So this set of sessions was a little different than Saturday’s. I photographed a couple of families, one mom who’s son couldn’t make it decided to come herself which is such and awesome idea (every mom should have great images of herself), a birthday boy, a family who was going to the hospital the next day to have their second little boy (congratulations you guys), and some darn cute kids.
I also couldn’t pick just one so there are at least two from each session. I love love love location shooting. So I definitely felt more in my element on the beach. But I think both sessions went pretty great. Here’s day two:
A very fun day:)
We have had a few super hot days here in the beginning of this last week. Super hot… like 95 degrees at the beach. That is really hot for here. Hotter than the hottest day in summer. Now we are back to our regular low 70’s. We lucked out with a day on the cooler side even though the beach was packed.
I love so many of these. Actually more than I am even putting in the sneak peek:)
While I was changing my lens, someone took a head first spill into a wave. She was pretty cold and done but I love this last shot of everyone smooshed together. One of my favorites:)
More to come in your slideshow soon. Hope you guys enjoyed the rest of your visit here!
It’s always fun when I get clients who come from out of town and even better, out of state. We decided to do the shoot in Birdrock, La Jolla because it is one of the prettiest beaches. I swear the water sparkles more there than all the other beaches along the coast. We actually got rained out on Sunday and we got a beautiful spring day instead. I told Heather to bring a change of clothes because they might get a little wet… I suppose I should have said drenched. I should be more clear to my clients in the future:)
Here are some of my favorites from our shoot. I have the time right now to be a little experimental with the mood of the images so a lot of these have some Jesh de Rox actions all over them.
This would be one of the drenching parts…. I almost got taken down but I am pretty quick and caught a few awesome shots and managed to not drop my camera in the water. We all left pretty wet though
The prettiest hair in the world! I totally love that one on the left
I hope you all had a great rest of the trip and made it to the beach again. I have so many more to show you and can’t wait… soon!
