A Sunset Family Session in Newport Beach

There’s just something magical about the coast at golden hour. Maybe it’s the glowing light, the sound of the waves, or the barefoot giggles from the little ones as they run through the sand. This family photo session in Newport Beach captured all of it.


From sandy snuggles and shell collecting to playful piggyback rides and splashes in the surf, this shoot was a beautiful mix of connection and fun. It’s the kind of session that reflects what I love most about outdoor family photography: authentic moments, natural movement, and letting your kids just be kids.


If you’re looking for a laid-back, light-filled location for your next family session, Newport Beach is one of my favorite spots in Orange County.
