I loved this San Diego Family photography beach session! This family was visiting San Diego and thought it was time for family photos now that Viola is 4. Viola has the most amazing hair I have ever seen!! She was so easy to do a beach photo shoot. I had such a great time at Ponto beach in Carlsbad Ca photographing this family. They hadn’t had a family photo shoot at the beach so it was the perfect night to do photos since they were visiting San Diego from NYC. I love when families want a mixed of posed shots and fun candid shots of them being real. Most families with small kids know that it is hard for everyone to look and smile at the camera. Well some of my favorite shots are not looking at the camera like the last one of this gallery. It is my absolute favorite!
