Beautiful Family Portraits with Your Adult Children in Newport Beach

A Special Session with Adult Children in Newport Beach

As a Newport Beach family photographer, I typically photograph families with younger children, but after this recent session, I’m excited to photograph more families with adult children. During their vacation, this couple enjoyed precious time with their two adult daughters, who had traveled from different states to reunite together.

They picked out beautiful neutral tones that complemented the natural beach tones beautifully. The soft, earthy colors and textures worked perfectly against the backdrop of the ocean, and golden sand that captured their love and connection.

Tips for Your Family Photo Session

  1. Neutral Outfits Work Wonders: When planning outfits for your family photo session, choose neutral colors like whites, creams, and soft earth tones. These colors blend seamlessly with the natural beach surroundings and help your family stand out in the photos without being too overpowering.
  2. Consider Timing: To get the best lighting, schedule your session during the late afternoon about 1 hour before sunset. These times, known as “golden hour,” offer soft, flattering light that will make your photos feel warm and inviting.
  3. Embrace the Natural Moments: Whether your family is walking along the shore or having a quiet moment together, the best photos are often the candid ones. Don’t be afraid to let go of perfect poses and allow for natural interactions that truly showcase your family’s unique dynamic.

Photographing families with adult children is a unique and rewarding experience. There’s a different kind of energy and depth when the kids are all grown up, and their bond with each other and their parents is something truly special. The genuinely enjoyed each other’s company made capturing those moments so easy and effortless.
