San Clemente Family Photographer
Situated between San Diego and Los Angeles is the beautiful coastal town of San Clemente. It’s a dream for a San Clemente family photographer and a popular destination for families looking to capture memories with a photographer. Recently, I had the pleasure of capturing the memorable moments of friends Tammy and Devin, and miracle baby, Calvin. . we spent time exploring the unique sea cliffs, lush sea plants, and crashing blue ocean beach.
The Shelley’s
We met the Shelley’s at church when live all lived in Logan, Utah. We became instant bff’s and I have been photographing them ever since! As we walked along the shoreline in San Clemente, I was able to capture the special connection between Tammy, Devin, and Calvin. They are the sweetest parents. We love spending time with the Shelleys. Above all, watching them play mommy and daddy.
I believe in creating an experience for my clients that goes beyond simply taking pictures. For example, scouting locations and parking. always strive to capture photos with emotion, personality. Above all, beauty. I want my clients to look back at their photos years from now and be reminded of how much joy there was during those moments together. For instance, Tammy nursing her babe on the grass next to the ocean is one of my favorite pictures.
I know firsthand just how special it is to have your family captured in such a beautiful place like San Clemente State Beach. With over two miles of unspoiled coastline and its Mediterranean-style climate perfect for photography any time of year. It’s no wonder why so many families choose it as the backdrop for their family portraits!
Every family is unique and has its own story to tell. I would love to capture your family memories as a San Clemente Photographer. In other words, hire me!
