LAGUNA BEACH FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY AT TREASURE ISLAND BEACH

As a family photographer here in beautiful Southern California, word-of-mouth referrals are gold. Kathy Todd contacted me shortly after seeing the Holt family's photos (which you can check out here: A Surprise Beach Proposal at Little Corona Del Mar), and booked a family portrait session in Laguna Beach. It had been some time since the Todd family had professional photos taken, so I knew I wanted to create something truly special for them.

We chose the very popular Treasure Island Beach at the Montage Resort & Spa in Laguna Beach as our backdrop. Shooting in late December has its perks; the beach, usually super busy with traffic, was surprisingly quiet, giving us plenty of space to do what we had to do.

One of my favorite moments of the session was when the four kids and I climbed up to one of the higher points on the beach. I captured some really fun individual portraits of them there, which I think really set the tone for the rest of the shoot. It was a chance to capture their personalities and energy in a natural, candid way.

The Todd family was so much fun to work with, and they expressed their excitement about seeing the final images. I'm confident they're going to love them. I poured my heart into capturing their family's connection, and I can't wait to share the results!
