July 11th, 2026

Carmel-by-the-Sea, CALIFORNIA

An Exclusive Petite Portrait Series in the Picturesque Carmel-by-the-Sea. The Enchanting Beauty of the Quiet Morning Hours. There is a specific and unmistakable magic to the Carmel coast during the early morning hours, before the world fully wakes up and the day begins in earnest. When the Bay fog gently settles over the pristine sand and the soft light becomes a luminous, pearlescent glow that bathes everything in its ethereal radiance, the beach transforms into a private and intimate stage perfectly suited for capturing your family's unique story and cherished moments together.

Sessions will be held in the morning and Late afternoon.

Why seashells by the seashore you ask?

She is beautiful to place to spend time together as a family or as a couple. We will be supplying large, authentic seashells, and sand dollars to showcase the mini session.
