Beach family photos are some of my most popular sessions. I love this family portrait session at the Oceanside Pier, there are so many great backgrounds, I never run out of creative ideas!

Photography isn’t just about taking pictures—it’s about holding onto memories.
I want you to look back at these photos and remember the way it felt to hold your kids, the sound of their little laugh, and all those tiny moments that make this time so special.
Because they’re only this little once. 💕

As a portrait photographer, my goal is to capture people just as they are in this moment—real, unfiltered, and full of personality.
I work hard to see the real because that’s where the beauty is.
As a mom, I want to remember my kids exactly as they were—messy, joyful, and completely themselves. And no one embodies that better than toddlers. They don’t pose, they don’t fake a smile—they just are. Whether they’re flashing a toothy grin or wobbling their way through those first few steps, every expression is 100% real.
And that’s exactly why I love photographing them so much!
Preparing for your photo session? Keep it simple!
I find solid colors (like white, cream, tan, or gray) or classic patterns like a soft floral photograph beautifully, and avoiding logos keeps the focus on you and your family.
Let’s make your session fun and easy! DM me with any questions.
