Crystal Cove: The perfect spot for your Newport Beach family photos

I had an awesome time photographing the Richard family during their Anaheim vacation at Crystal Cove State Park! Brydie wanted to add a touch of magic to their trip, and a family photo shoot in Newport Beach seemed like the perfect way.


Crystal Cove truly is a photographer's dream for family portraits. With its expansive beaches, plenty of room for playful moments, and breathtaking scenery, it's no wonder it's a popular choice. The Richard family's infectious enthusiasm made the session even more special. Maybe it was the California sunshine, or perhaps they were just excited to have a talented photographer (like myself!) capturing their memories. Either way, their joy was contagious!


Brydie's little boy was an absolute star, full of energy and smiles – a photographer's dream! The rest of the kids were equally fantastic. Honestly, I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful family to work with.

If you're looking for a memorable way to document your next family vacation in Southern California, consider a photoshoot at Crystal Cove State Park. It's a picture-perfect location that will create memories to cherish for a lifetime.
