Huntington Beach Family, Senior & Engagement Photographer
Huntington Beach is home base, so I know exactly where the light lands from the pier to the wetlands. Sessions here move easily between sand, grass and boardwalk without a long drive between them.

Favorite spots
Where I like to shoot in Huntington Beach
Here are a few Huntington Beach locations that photograph beautifully. We will choose the one that fits your session and the light.
Huntington Beach Pier
Iconic pilings and wide sand that glow in the last hour before sunset.
Bolsa Chica State Beach
Quieter stretch of sand with soft dunes and big open sky.
Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve
Boardwalk and wetland trails for earthy, editorial portraits.
Huntington Central Park
Mature trees, lake views and grassy clearings for family and senior sessions.
Light tip
Summer fog often burns off by late morning, but the best beach light is the hour before sunset; in winter, the sun sets earlier and the pier glows around 4:30 pm.
