Youngberg Family: Avila Beach Family Photographer

There is nothing like the California beaches in the “winter” since the days are warm and the sun is shinning from sunrise to sunset. My sweet college roommate, Hannah, and her family visit the Coast often and I was luckily enough to steal one of their mornings for a playful shoot on the beach. I left with my heart glowing because Hannah and Travis truly are the best parents to their adorable little girls. I cherish the gift of freezing time for families and capturing the silly faces of the kiddos and endearing pride of the parents. Thank you, Youngberg Family, for being a bright light and I am thankful to know you!

McDevitt Family: Paso Robles Family Photographer at Avila Beach

This group knew how to celebrate a wonderful mother/grandma since they had a few days away in San Luis Obispo and ended the birthday fun with a large family portrait session. Having a crew of littles, we had a combo of traditional “look at the camera and smile pictures'“ followed by candid playing at the beach. I think 3 out of the 4 kiddos fell in the water at some point but reaction from the parents was priceless and we kept laughing and going. Oh how I love seeing cousins chase waves and the authentic joy the beach brings for all ages!

Mello Family: San Luis Obispo Family Photographer in Avila Beach

The joy this group brings is life giving...simply put, I think they are amazing.  Wyatt and Davida are blessed with three adorable boys that are full of energy and laughter.  We had a stellar morning exploring around their family ranch that overlooks Avila Beach...I was spoiled.  Thank you, Mello Family, for allowing me to spend the morning with you all!
