Teenage Family Photos in Laguna Beach

There is a lot of negative speak out there about teenagers. Until I had one of my own, I had no idea what to expect besides the negative stereotype that was put out by others I thought knew what it was all about. As soon as I had a teenager of my own, I was pleasantly surprised how much fun they were. Sure, they are no longer under our control, and they are out there making choices and doing things we don’t wholly approve of, but they are funny, and full of ideas, and unique and overall super fun to hang out with. I mean I’ll take a good thrifting day and a movie with hot pot over a day at the park every day of the week.

This is the 13th year I have been lucky enough to photograph this sweet family. The best clients are always the ones that have been with me since the beginning. I have been honored to get to know these kids over the years, and I am starting to feel like an busy auntie that only has time to catch up once a year.

What luck to know that they were willing to jump in the water with me here in Laguna Beach. Although the water wasn’t as warm as last week, we were able to paddle boar out at sunset and get some amazing good vibes from that healing water.

At my core, I believe that a family photo session is better when you get a chance to play a little, and what better spot the in the Pacific Ocean. And as our children grow up, and eventually leave our home, I hope we always remember that today is worth remembering too.
