Goodbye Full Sun, Hello full Moon

Newport Beach has to have the most magical light this time of year. As if the whole city is seen through a snapchat filter. The sky is clear, the air is crisp, and you can’t beat that pacific ocean sunsets. There isn’t a better time to get your family photography session than fall time in Orange County. This sweet family drove down to Newport Beach for their family session from Culver City. Lucky us, we watched a bright orange sun dip into the ocean, and as we walked up to our cars, we were lucky enough to see the full blue moon rise over the horizon.

The session was an adventure of exploring tide pools, naming the animals we saw, and chasing seagulls into the vast blue sky. It was less of a photo shoot and more of a family adventure, the adventure you go home with proof that you had a good time. Proof in photos.

These two lively boys have come a long way. The first meet being in their home as newborns, and with 10 years of adventure between us, I feel so lucky to be the one to document their love as a family, and photograph them here in Orange County.

Nothing beats a low tide adventure for a photo shoot. We saw so many anemones, had hermit crab races, and dipped our toes into the not too cold waters.
