Windansea Beach is mighty popular for the local surfers, tourists and family photographers! There is always one, two, three or more of us down in La Jolla, armed with fancy camera gear, some have soft boxes, some have the amazing 70-200mm telephoto lens, and we all bring differing years of experience... but the one thing we have in common is: Families. Families love the textured rocks against the Pacific Ocean & bring with them hope of the perfect beach portrait to be framed in their living space. And they entrust that to us.
I was so flattered to have the opportunity to take fellow photographers portraits tonight-- the team at Zabrosky Photography booked me for an updated classic photo that would include both of their daughters (news on the street is that last formal family photo included only their firstborn). Despite the June gloom weather, the kids were full of energy, making my time with all of them a joy!
Enjoy your sneak peek, Zab Family!
Can you see what their son is actually doing here? Checking his camera phone pics. No, really.
An imperfect 'portrait', but perfect moment. Probably my favorite shot of the evening:
(did you notice the fantastic pedicure on Mama?? She got a great deal!)
Just a sweet moment toward the end of our shoot- thanks for a great evening Zabroskys!
great session!! love that first shot!

These are so amazingly beautiful. I just can't get over the freshness in each shot you take! The blue shirts were pure genius. Beautiful family. Beautiful photos.

I can't begin to thank you enough! In the end, you captured what I was hoping for: a picture of MY FAMILY. Kissy faces and all. :)
