If you’re looking for a Newport Beach family photographer who captures real connection, joyful moments, you’re in the right place. Whether you’re local to Orange County or visiting Newport Beach on vacation, a family photo session by the beach is the perfect way to connect, and preserve this season of life—just as it is. It truly is one of my favorite beaches to capture those carefree moments with your littles.
Why Choose Newport Beach for Your Family Photos?
Newport Beach offers a beautiful mix of wide sandy shores, soft golden light, and ocean breezes—perfect for creating timeless, beautiful images. It’s a place where kids can run barefoot, parents can let go of expectations, and families can simply enjoy being together.
I love photograph families in a fun but gentle way, focusing on connection over perfection. There’s no need for stiff poses or forced smiles, just real moments that reflect your family’s love, and personality.
Let Go of “Perfect” – Embrace Real Life
As a photographer who has specialized in in working with young children and families since 2008, I know that life with kids can be unpredictable—and that’s exactly where the magic happens. The wind in their hair, sandy toes, giggles between siblings, the way your toddler runs and hugs their mama… these are the moments you’ll want to remember.
Your session doesn’t need to be picture-perfect to be meaningful. Some of the most beautiful photographs happen in the in-between—the way you scoop your child into your arms, the laugh you share when your baby throws sand, or the quiet way your child rests their head on your shoulder as the sun sets.
A Relaxed Experience for the Whole Family
I guide families gently throughout the session, offering direction when needed but always allowing space for natural moments to unfold. I’ll help you find the best light, suggest movement and prompts to bring out those silly giggles, and make sure your little ones feel comfortable and free to be themselves.
No pressure. Just a fun, enjoyable experience that results in photos that feel like you.
The key to a fun family photo session—especially with young kids—is to keep things light, playful, and pressure-free. Come ready to laugh, move around, and just enjoy being together. The more relaxed you are, the more your kids will be too. Instead of worrying about perfect smiles or poses, think of it as a chance to play on the beach, snuggle in close, or explore together. When you keep the mood upbeat and go with the flow, real joy shines through—and that’s what makes the photos truly special.
