HB Engagement Session – Huntington Beach Pier

Huntington Beach Engagement Session 

We met up with C & C at BJ’s in Downtown Huntington Beach for their engagement session. They were AWESOME! We immediately hit it off and had a great time getting to know them at their E – session. They are both in amazing shape so it was pretty easy to make them look great 🙂 Our favorite way to shoot an HB engagement session is walk around Main Street. With new and old architecture all around, you are sure to always find interesting textures and great light. After we wandered around out of the wind, it was time to hit the beach! There was a volley ball tournament going on so it was very busy- but we managed to find a few angles and it turned out great!

HB Engagement Session Inspiration

There are so many great locations in and around the coastal areas of Orange County! We love the beach but we always encourage our couples to get a variety of looks. Most couples turn their session into a guest book for the wedding. The more looks you have, the more interesting your guest book will be. The beach can be very busy, so think of a few options before you get started at your HB engagement session.

If your kids are home for the holidays, do this one thing.

Take new photos together. When kids grow up and move out, opportunities feel smaller. Make the most of the moments you do have. These years are worth remembering.

Do you know the number one reason people regret skipping photos?

Because life looks different faster than they expected. The kids grow, seasons shift, and all of a sudden years have passed. A session is a pause button and a gift to your future self.

Parents ask: What if my child cries with Santa?

It is completely fine. We take our time, let them warm up, and follow their lead. Some kids jump right in, others are more timid and shy. Both are normal and both make sweet memories.

What part of your child’s personality do you wish you could freeze right now?

This age changes faster than we think. I love sessions like this because kids show exactly who they are in the moment, whether that is silliness, shyness, confidence, or curiosity. If you have been wanting to document this season of life, this is your reminder to make it happen.

Is the Santa Experience worth it? Here is what I see every year.

Kids who walk in unsure and leave glowing. Parents who say it felt excited and personal. And families who come back year after year because it becomes a tradition.
