San Diego Family Beach Photography
at La Jolla Windansea Beach and Scripps Pier
The rocky shore of La Jolla's Windansea Beach makes it a scenic spot in San Diego for portraits. You can dig your toes in the sand and feel the ocean breeze as the sunsets. You will be thrilled with the photos of our family, giving your beautiful memories to treasure always.
And Windansea, with its iconic Surf Shack, was made famous by the Beach Boys, who sang about it in the '60s. The palm-covered Surf Shack, initially built-in 1946 to host luau beach parties, lives on, and so does Windansea's reputation as a top surfing beach.

"I hired Dennis to do family photos while we were on vacation in San Diego. He was incredibly easy to work with— even from 1,000 miles away. My family had more fun on this photoshoot than any other, so much so that my 7-year-old didn’t want to leave.
And the photos... my goodness, the photos... he sent us well over 80 beautiful images, at least 20 made me gasp when I saw them. And I’m very picky! :) Some posed shots, and many ‘lifestyle’ shots that showed love, fun, and happiness. Simply priceless pictures that I will cherish. Could not recommend more highly".
THE PLANNING
Before our session together, we will schedule a phone consult. This will allow us to discuss the overall style of your shoot - wardrobe, location, and color scheme.
We aim to capture the true personality of your family, so your clothing choice must speak to who you are and make you happy in the process. Best tip select clothing to coordinate with each other but not to match.
*Stick to a color palette of three or four complementary colors

DENNIS MOCK
PHOTOGRAPHER
I began my journey as a sport and architectural photographer in San Diego, but when I discovered a draw to wedding and family photography, I decided to switch lanes. Today, I enjoy telling each unique story -- highlighting all the personality and joy that comes with it -- that comes my way.
My spontaneity and documentary spirit have earned dozens of local and national awards from professional photographers associations, including PPA, WPPI, PPC, PPSDC, and national camera companies like Kodak and Fuji.
Dennis Mock has been recognized as a Master Photographer and a Photographic Craftsmen by the Professional Photographers of America (PPA) and awarded "San Diego Photographer of the Year" many times by the Professional Photographers of San Diego County (PPSDC).
WHAT TO WEAR
Clothing always makes parents the most nervous about planning a family session. Just know that as long as your family is themselves, that is what is the most important! But here are a few general rules of thumb I advise clients to follow:
02
01
03
Wear something you can move in without worrying about it. Comfort is key!
Don't match! No one matches in real life, so don't start on picture day.
Plan minimal outfit changes for kids. They don't like it, so try to keep it to a single change, if any.
