Which La Jolla Beach is Best for Family Photos?

When it comes to choosing the perfect beach for your family photos, it can be overwhelming. But fear not, as your trusted photographer, I am here to guide you! My personal favorites are Windansea Beach, La Jolla Shores, and Scripps Pier. Each location offers unique scenery, natural lighting, and a relaxed atmosphere that will make for a fun and enjoyable family session

What Should I Wear at the Beach?


Are you looking to capture your family’s unique story and create some beautiful memories? Look no further than La Jolla family beach photographer, Dennis Mock! He specializes in capturing your family’s personality, laughter, and connection through fun-filled sessions at stunning San Diego locations like Windansea Beach, La Jolla Shores, and Scripps Pier.

  1. Don’t try to match! Instead, coordinate outfits by choosing complementary colors and patterns. This will add visual interest to your photos and make everyone feel more comfortable.
  2. Keep it simple for your little ones. Kids are often uncomfortable with multiple outfit changes, so stick to one outfit that they feel comfortable in and matches the overall color scheme.
  3. Opt for comfortable clothing that allows you to move and play freely. You’ll want to be able to run, jump, and play with your family without worrying about your clothing..
