Dana Point Beach | California Film Photographer

Hey there! Let me tell you about this epic day I had at Dana Point Beach with the coolest family ever. Picture this: waves crashing, sun shining, and this totally rad green VW van covered in beach stickers—like, pure California vibes, right?

Family Vibes at Dana Point

I hung out with this amazing crew who are all about surf, sun, and just soaking up quality time together. The kids were bouncing around their super cool VW van (I’m low-key obsessed and secretly want one for myself), which they use to hit the waves. It’s not just a van; it’s their mobile beach clubhouse!

What’s a Lifestyle Shoot?

Now, you might be wondering what the heck a “lifestyle shoot” is. Basically, I set the stage for families to do their thing—play, laugh, be themselves—and I capture those genuine, real moments. Like, I might ask them to chase each other, tickle, or just chill and soak in those awesome beach vibes.

Why Film Photography Rocks

As a California film photographer, I’m all about that old-school charm of film. For this shoot, I busted out my trusty Ektar film, known for its vibrant colors that perfectly capture that beachy feel. It’s like turning everyday moments into timeless memories with a cool, nostalgic twist.

Making Memories That Last

From the kids darting in and out of the waves to the grandparents cuddling (and low-key embarrassing the kids with kisses) in their VW bus, every colorful photo was about freezing those precious moments. It’s about capturing the love, laughter, and quirky little details that make each family so unique.
