Huntington Beach, California

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.
