BEST PLACE IN SAN DIEGO FOR FAMILY PHOTOS

I love living in San Diego- and I love that our weather makes it possible for me to work outdoors all year long! I am happy to serve clients who call San Diego home, as well as families who vacation here throughout the year. In this beautiful city we have no shortage of gorgeous places to shoot our family photography sessions. Here are a couple of my current favorites!

MISSION TRAILS REGIONAL PARK

Mission Trails is a hidden gem. Sure, a lot of photographers know about this spot already but it never feels overcrowded with photographers. The mountains and valleys in the back drop of this location makes your family photos here feel spacious and stunning. The way the light dips behind the mountains is my favorite thing about this spot. Summer sessions especially have the warmest, golden glow. I LOVE shooting here!

 
 

BALBOA PARK

One of San Diego’s most iconic locations is one of the most diverse places you can have your family photography session. I typically give my families a couple different options for Balboa Park. When they select their favorite we hit up about three different spots around the park.

Do you know what tomorrow is?? Tomorrow is National Nap Day! But since it's falling on a Monday I've decided to observe National Nap Day today! Who is with me?? ⁠⁠ Everyday around 3pm my body tells me I need to be still for a bit. I don't always fall
With every age/stage my kids are in I think to myself “This is my favorite age.” Then they grow a little, learn new things and then I love the new stage even more. ⁠ Lately I’m loving watching them be more independent. Yesterday my
Are you having fun at your family photo sessions? I've been making my family take professional photos since my kids were born- but the year we took these photos with @blairhartwelldesign was the first year we ALL had FUN.🎉 What changed? My mindset.
Fun kids + their own backyard + golden hour = my wildest dreams came true 🥰📷💚 Who is going to make my dreams come true next? Slip n' slide into my DMs. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Welcome to our #SanDiegoLifestylePhotographyEditingLoop⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ We are a group of San Diego
Can we talk about pregnancy old wives' tales? What struck true for you? I had horrible heart burn and while I didn't have bald babies, I wouldn't say they had a crazy amount of hair to warrant all the heart burn I had going on. Ok, your turn! What cr
The last 12 months have been full of the unexpected, don’t you agree? I never would have guessed there would be so much uncertainty and change to every-day things I took for granted- like my kids going to school in person!⁠⁠😔 ⁠⁠ While life [es
I. Will. Never. Take. Hugs. For. Granted. Again. Who is the best hugger you know? I once heard that long hugs release more oxytocin(the hormone that relaxes us). So I use that to torture my husband with really really long hugs. Like so long that he
