San Diego Summer Portrait Sessions — A Seasonal Series Shot on Film + Digital
There’s something special about summer in San Diego — golden coastal light, windswept grasslands, salt-tinged air, and the way time seems to slow down. I created this limited-edition summer portrait series to capture that feeling. This isn’t about stiff poses or over-planned sessions — it’s about real connection, easy elegance, and the kind of photographs that feel like memories.
Why a Summer Series?
Seasonal shifts inspire how I see and photograph the world. This series is an ode to warm evenings, windswept hair, sun-drenched skin, and the beauty of simplicity. These sessions are designed to be intimate, editorial, and honest — no distractions, no elaborate props, just the magic of golden light and the connection between you and your surroundings.
This series is open to couples, solo, and maternity portraits — anyone looking to mark a season in life with intentional, timeless imagery.
Where It’s Happening
You’ll choose between two dreamy San Diego backdrops:
Beach – Soft sand, crashing waves, and glowing light as the sun sets.
Grasslands – Warm, golden tones and quiet open space for an earthy, cinematic vibe.
And if you're booking the Full Story Package, you can request both.
Shot on Film + Digital
What makes this series especially meaningful: each session includes a mix of digital photography and 35mm film. Film adds an organic, nostalgic quality to your photos — perfectly imperfect in a way digital never can be. It's for those who love the timelessness of grain and the depth of tones only film can offer.
