Soberanes Trail to Bixby Bridge, on the Cliffs.

How it went

Cliffside light at Soberanes Trail is the kind that makes everything look bigger. We caught the last hour of sun, with surf breaking on the rocks below and nobody else in the shot.

Next stop was Bixby Bridge, where the cliffs play harder shadows. Different mood entirely from the first spot.

Multi-location shoots are equal parts choreography and improvisation. We mapped the order in advance, but the actual photos came from being patient at each stop until the light cooperated.

Years from now they'll point to one of these photos and remember exactly what the air smelled like that afternoon.

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.
