There's a window at Garrapata Beach between four and six in the afternoon where the cliffs catch direct light and the water turns deep teal. That's when we shot.
After that we drove south to Soberanes Trail, where the cliffs give way to a bigger sky: wide open, longer focal lengths.
From there we made our way to Bixby Bridge. The Pacific from that perspective drops your jaw the first time you see it.
Two-plus hours of slow walking, quiet direction, and a couple drives between spots. Each location added a different look to the gallery (coast, cliff, ridge, trees) without the day ever feeling rushed.
Years from now they'll point to one of these photos and remember exactly what the air smelled like that afternoon.
Here’s a few highlights from this shoot. Most photographers only ever show a static portfolio of their very best images. I think every potential client should see more than that: the full shoots themselves. Nothing sets expectations like seeing multiple sessions at one location in different weather, times of day, and seasons. We get amazing photos no matter what, and we’re not afraid to show you.

Holding a date costs you nothing. We plan it together, and you pay same-day, once the shoot wraps.
