I have a really hard time picking my favorites from each shoot, but it’s a great exercise to review your work from time to time. This is the first installment of what I hope becomes an annual tradition – picking JUST ONE photo from each of my shoots from the past year, be it a business portrait […]

I love taking photos at Capitola Beach, and when I have a fun family to work with it’s always a blast. The kids are adorable, Romy gave new meaning to “sand-wich.” There were so many great photos, even though it wasn’t a long session. Enjoy some of my favorites below.   Recent “Family Portrait” Posts:

It had been quite a few years since these girls last had their photos professionally taken together, and with Morgan off at college, getting them all together would only prove more challenging. It was an overcast day and a little chilly, but the girls had plenty of energy, and I had them run around a […]

Great family portraits are awesome to hang on the wall. But sometimes, there’s just too many good ones to choose from – or more likely, simply not enough wall-space available for prints. In those cases, I recommend my clients invest in custom-designed albums that tell the story of their fun photo shoot with GoodEye Photography […]

The awesome thing about the Santa Cruz/Monterey area is you can shoot at beaches year-round, and they pretty much always look the same. The only thing that changes is the clothing people wear. I photographed Nick and Tara’s beautiful family of five (if you include Oso, the dog) a week before Christmas, but you’d never […]

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. I met this family of four under the pier for their session, getting some formal group shots of them before […]

This is a fun, short family photography session taken at Capitola Beach. Michelle told me she really only wanted one photo, but of course you know this isn’t my style. Let’s have options, baby! These guys have tons of personality and I thoroughly enjoyed spending this evening with them. Here’s some of my favorite photos from […]

Large families can be challenging to shoot – there’s that many more eyeballs and expressions that have to be open and happy at the exact same moment. Add to that the unpredictable wind, surf and lighting for an on-location outdoors shoot, and you have a lot to manage as a photographer! I’m always up for […]

Oh. My. God. Little 2yo Veronica is simply adorable! She was a little shy at first, not sure what to think about me (see first photo below), but after a couple minutes she was all smiles. It doesn’t hurt that I’m not ashamed to dance for small children. Or anyone, really, but I digress. I […]

These little guys had a lot of fun playing with each other, running around the beach and chasing mom with sticks. Ah, boys will be boys! I ran around with them, doing my best to capture the moments. They were good enough to even pose for a few shots under the wharf, which turned out […]
