Every year on Ava’s birthday, Elise and her family make the drive down to San Diego, and every year we do a session. I’ve watched Ava go from a toddler who wanted nothing to do with my camera to a nine-year-old ready to run the show. 🎈

There’s always a giant number balloon. The first few years Ava was terrified of it, then she merely tolerated it. Elise thought this might be the last balloon year... but Ava disagrees! She’s already requested a “1” and a “0” for next time. Twice the balloon fun!!

Elise and Samuel, thank you for making me part of Ava’s birthday every year, and for blessing me with your friendship. 💛

🐓 Last month I found myself at the Lakeside Bones residence, surrounded by homeschool books, chickens, and love. I only had my iPhone to remember the goodness, so I requested (demanded) a return invitation to capture it all with my real camera.

Jon and Karen are raising their beautiful family (and birds) in a cozy homeschooling paradise, and I felt *compelled* to celebrate it.

Check this out . . . no pastel beach backgrounds here, but a fun, different editing take to fit the subjects.

A cozy, collaborative session in Lakeside, California, capturing the Bones family's homeschool days, backyard chickens, and music-filled afternoons—shot alongside their lifestyle photographer, Frankie Rose.

Elesha and Sajiv have been in San Diego for 15 years, but their last family session was for their girls’ newborn photos. It was time for an update! The girls were the perfect age, and Elesha had her eye on some beach photos. She’d seen the ones with the glassy shore, the whole family alone as if they had the whole coastline to themselves.

After 15 years calling San Diego home, Elesha and Sajiv finally booked their first family session since newborn photos — full of sibling silliness, dry humor, and genuine smiles against the Hotel del Coronado.

Every year for her birthday, nine-year-old Ava returns to San Diego with her family for a photo session that's become a cherished tradition . . . this year featuring a giant balloon and a butterfly kite.

Some families are loving, silly, and loud, and Teri's is exactly that. She grew up on this coastline and has been bringing her kids back for decades. With Ashlyn, 20, and Sam, 18, both starting to head their own ways and only Cole, 12, still fully in kid mode, Teri knew it was time to get everyone together before that changes even more. The photos she loved most weren't the posed group shots, they were the one-on-one moments with each kid and the sibling groupings that get rarer every year. A day in La Jolla, a great dinner after, and photos she called ones "we will treasure for a lifetime." That's the whole job right there. 💛

Some families live an ocean apart. The Murrays came together one last time before three of them moved to Thailand, and we spent an evening on South Ponto beach capturing fifteen people across three generations. Little kids being little kids. A couple everyone already calls family. A grandmother getting the photo she'll treasure. Tracy said it best. "Thanks so much for capturing this really special time for the family."

Trisha had been meaning to book family photos for four years. Life kept happening, and every year their photos ended up in the dead grasses of fall or the springtime grass instead of the beach. Two weeks before their San Diego trip, she decided this was finally the year.

Richard, Trisha, Trisha's mom, Raelynn (14), and Trever (11) met me on the sand at Crystal Pier. Trisha told me she wanted photos that showed the true them... the love and joy between all of them, the candid moments along with the posed ones.

Her favorite is one you might not expect. Just her and Raelynn, holding hands in the ocean, backs to the camera. As Trisha put it, it's all the life lived that no one else knows about wrapped up in that picture. So many tears, so many laughs, so many conversations.

Kind, outdoorsy, loving life. That's how they described themselves, and it shows in every frame. 💙
