Sea Cliffs and Golden Light at Panther Beach.

20 edited photos · Panther Beach, Santa Cruz

How it went

Panther Beach sits on cliffs that drop hundreds of feet straight into the Pacific. We worked in the last hour of sun, when the light wraps the rocks and the marine layer thins out at the horizon.

We took our time. The plan said two hours but we used about an hour and a half, enough to cover the spot from a few different angles without anything feeling rushed.

The view does most of the work. The couple does the rest. 20 photos of one quiet hour at the edge of the Pacific.

The shoot
The whole shoot, not just the highlights

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.
