Newport Beach Family Photographer – Back Bay

Newport Beach Family Photographer – Back Bay Portrait Session

Another gorgeous session at the Back Bay. It’s hard not to come back here for every family portrait. I hate to wear out our photo locations but this place consistently produces beautiful results! As soon as the sun hits the horizon, the lighting is unreal! We have been a Newport Beach family photographer for 14 years now and I’m sure we will be back here again next week.

This family is one of our favorites. They document every milestone so we get to see them quite often. She is also my orthodontist, and is seriously THE BEST in Orange County! 🙂 The formal attire made this session so cool. They look like they are heading to a red carpet event! You really can’t go wrong with this style of portrait- and every guy looks sharp in a suit!

Newport Beach has almost every look you can imagine. From sunsets on a beach to gorgeous yachts in a busy harbor. Most people think surf and sand- but the Back Bay has a warm rustic feel that beats the beach any day! We actually love to bring our family here for bike rides and nature hikes on the dirt paths. You can find wildlife, wild flowers, and the kids love to explore the trails.

One of the speakers at graduation on Tuesday May 20th talked about how important these next ten years are. They will be making choices in the next ten years that will have a huge impact on their entire future. They aren’t just closing a chapter - they’re writing the beginning of their own story. I am soooo excited to see Tyler write his own story. It’s going to be a bestseller and I’m here for it. 💕 I’m going to soak up every bit of time I have with him this summer before he heads to New Hampshire for two years to serve a mission. Love you TT

Struggling to pose newborns safely? Here’s my top safety tip!

Safety is the number one priority. Always have spotter (usually a parent) nearby, especially for composite shots. Use soft, padded surfaces and never force a baby into a pose. Comfort comes first!

How do you capture the perfect ring shot outdoors during an engagement session? 💍✨ Look for natural light and textured surfaces! Place the ring on a textured element like a rock, tree bark, or even a flower, and angle the ring towards the light to catch that sparkle. #EngagementPhotography #RingShots #outdoorphotos
