Every time I shoot at the beach, whether Santa Monica, Venice or down in the South Bay, I am reminded how lucky I am to be a family portrait photographer in a city that a) has a beach, and b) has the climate that enables us to enjoy it most of the year.
This couldn’t be more true for the recent family shoot I did in Santa Monica. Both parents hail from Canada, the mother hails from Vancouver, home of the recent winter Olympics, and the father hails from Calagary, home of the 1988 Winter Olympics… for those of you who like me, remember that far back. So, for a family originally from a much colder climate living in the Los Angeles climate is wonderful, no snow boots in sight.
Their ten month old daughter couldn’t have been more delightful. She arrived at the shoot in a happy slumber, so we had to wake her and I didn’t hear a single whine during the whole shoot. She was playful and excited, plus this was her first time in the sand and she seemed to love the sensation. She was so lovely, she brought huge smiles to her parents’ faces. The sun was warm, but so was their personality.
