Dog Family Portraits at the Beach

Dog Family Portraits_Family of Three_Debbie Markham Photography

Dog family portraits at the beach are so fun to shoot, especially with an adorable pet! This family of three were on vacation from Southern California when they decided to hire me for an hour photo session at San Simeon’s. These shoots feel like hanging out with friends at the beach!

Feel the sand between your toes, laugh as your dog runs around, climb ocean front cliffs and hug each other for great photo ops.  After all this fun quality family time, you get to keep approximately 100 sweet dog family portraits that will make you smile for years to come!  I feel so blessed to capture these moments in time for such a beautiful family, and one adorable dog.

The Peninsula at Hearst State Beach, a.k.a. San Simeon Cove

Today I photographed 3 generations of a beautiful family at The Hearst State Beach while on their vacation.  I love family reunion photo shoots – seeing grandparents play with grandkids, and parents struggling to corral children is food for my soul.

Thinking ahead, I brought my running shoes and a change of clothes, and hit the sand at 6pm after the shoot.  I was in awe of all the natural beauty of the cove and enjoyed my iPhone panoramic option.  I highly recommend the trail that heads up and around the peninsula at the end of the cove.
