The Charmans (Family Photography) @ Ocean View Park, Santa Cruz

This was a fun photo shoot with multiple families at Ocean View Park in Santa Cruz. It’s got great views of the boardwalk and ocean (as its name states), and lots of great locations around the park to shoot. Since we were a pretty large group, we didn’t walk around as much as I would […]

The Tates (Family Photography) @ Pajaro Dunes

It had been a couple years since I last got to work with the Tate families while they vacationed over Thanksgiving at their beachfront rental house in the Pajaro Dunes development near Watsonville.

Susan + Colin = Jackson > Odessa (Family Photography) @ Capitola Beach

Capitola Beach is one of my favorite locations for taking family photos – kids love the beach, and everything from the colorful beach-side houses to the wooden pier make for incredible backdrops for family portraits.
