There's a window at Soberanes Trail between four and six in the afternoon where the cliffs catch direct light and the water turns deep teal. That's when we shot.
Next stop was Bixby Bridge, where the cliffs play harder shadows. Different mood entirely from the first spot.
We took the long route. Two-plus hours including driving, the kind of shoot where every location adds another color to the gallery.
Big drop, big wind, one small question. That ratio is why cliff proposals hold up.

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.
