Laguna Beach Family
Montage Laguna Beach is a wonderful destination for a professional photo session because it provides beautiful scenery and an atmosphere that is made for relaxation and rejuvenation. It just might become the place you go when you need to recharge your batteries. Your session will have a rich variety of backdrops to choose from as we meander along the coastal bluff and then descend onto the white sands below.
Annual family portraits preserve precious moments that remind you how quickly your children grow up. This ocean landscape is the perfect setting to play and create artistic portraits while doing so. Here are a few favorites from a recent session with a sweet family of three who traveled from Utah specifically to update their family photos at this Mama’s favorite ocean view! Enjoy! xoxo
Montage Family Session
Despite the roller coaster that 2020 has been, there have been many beautiful moments. Reconnecting with returning clients who have become friends, is always a highlight! I’m so thankful for the Case family! Please enjoy my favorites from their Laguna Beach family session. Please stay safe and well! And let’s plan to shoot together in 2021! xoxo
Laguna Beach Family Session
This Laguna Beach family session embodies many thoughts and emotions. First, this session was in honor of the long journey Mark and Traci have been on regarding their health. Mark has been suffering from Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for several years now and both of them underwent gastric bypass surgery last year. The fact that Mark was able to stand for more than a minute or two, in broad daylight, let alone participate in this photoshoot was a literal miracle! You can hear him tell part of his story by clicking here. He talks about how undergoing gastric bypass surgery allowed him to lose 190 lbs in less than a year and has helped alleviate some of his (IIH) symptoms.
The timing of our session was also miraculous! California beaches had been shut down for months because of Covid-19. They had reopened briefly, but were closing again for 4th of July. With the possibility of all of us having been exposed to the virus weeks before our initial session date, we tentatively rescheduled. (Mark and Traci are from Utah and extended their stay in SoCal to accommodate.) After confirming we were Covid-free and setting a new shoot day, the day before beaches were to close for the holiday weekend, our paths aligned and we were able to make beautiful pictures together! I’m so thankful this session came to pass! 😉
