As a San Diego beach family photographer I get to shoot in the most beautiful places and catch the most amazing sunsets! From Imperial Beach, all the way to Ocean Beach, you can get so many different looks in your pictures! I’ve made a list of my clients favorite San Diego Family picture locations.
Coronado
Starting in south county, and my absolute favorite place to shoot is Coronado Beach! The beach is as expansive as the sunsets! This gives everyone enough space to play and shoot without running into other beach-goers and photographersI love to start up at the dunes to capture shots in the green sea plants and then work our way down to the beach for dreamy reflections. This spot is perfect for families with little kids because there is plenty of space to run and run! Fun fact: the seaplants on the dunes spell out Coronado when viewing from the sky or google maps. Coronado is a San Diego family photographer’s favorite.
Mission Beach/Pacific Beach – Crystal Pier
Next up the coast we have Crystal Pier! It separates MIssion Beach from Pacific Beach. The food and fun filled boardwalk is home to Belmont Park and the Big Dipper roller coaster! It attracts vacationers year round. My clients love shooting at this beautiful pier!
Sunset Cliffs
Another great location If you are looking for sweeping views of the ocean in the background of your photos! Known as the best seats in all of San Diego, hence why everyone wants their pictures taken at sunset cliffs! The sun lights up these cliffs and somehow makes golden hour feel frozen in time. This is a great spot to grab a burrito and watch the views, but I wouldn’t suggest this location for people afraid of heights or families with small children.
La Jolla
Next we head over to the Jewel of San Diego! La Jolla shores is an iconic beach here in San Diego! A fan favorite spot for dreamy family photos is the Scripps memorial pier! If you’re up for a little walk, at La Jolla beach you can get a variety of sea cliffs, beach, and the iconic shots under the pier!
Swami’s Beach
Finally, there’s nothing like a north county, San Diego beach. Swami’s is a famous surf mecca! Parking is up on the bluffs with expansive views of the coast! When you get down to the bottom, there are plenty of different perspectives to shoot with cliffs to one side and water to the other. You can get a variety of different looks if you’re willing to make the trek down the steep staircase!
From locals, to tourists, I love getting to photograph families all over San Diego beaches! I feel so lucky to be a San Diego family photographer!
