Deep blues of the Pacific Ocean, warm hues of a sandy beach, endless forms and texture of a rocky cliff-side, and evening after evening of beautiful sunsets… the tide pools of Corona Del Mar (Newport Beach) provides a setting made for smiles, laughter, warmth, and those special photographic captures you’ll treasure for a lifetime. The Patterson’s enjoyed every bit of that in this family shoot.

Southern California has a seeming endless and convenient supply of beautiful scenes and settings for photography, abundant with beaches and mountains, sunshine and sunsets. But home is where the heart remains, and it is there that often provides the perfect setting for a family shoot, a genuine snapshot of a family’s unique and beautiful story. The Koehler’s chose to have their shoot at home for this very reason, capturing life where life happens every day.

This shoot with Su and family was done down at Seal Beach Pier, during the golden hour. The rich, natural colors of the wooden pier paired with the perfect lay of the setting sun always makes for a beautiful photo shoot.

As much as the eyes reveal the world to ourselves, they too reveal ourselves to the world. Joy, sadness, excitement, fear, inquisitiveness, laughter, anger, hope, and love… the eyes are the master communicators of the soul, the talebearers of our emotions. Photographed right, at the right time and in the right way, you’ll have a story worth reading a thousand times over, captured in a single image.
