Summer is almost upon us.  This is the time of year the whole family may actually be in the same place. 

Cousins running around and having fun.  The grandparents getting all their hugs and snuggles in with the grandkids. Someone is grilling and there is always that one complaining about the sand or heat.  And sadly, nobody has thought about portraits — because why would they? The moment feels infinite.

It isn't.

I've been photographing families for almost 20 years, and the sessions I think about most are the extended family ones.  Not because they are the most complicated to coordinate (they are), but because I feel they are the most important.  From personal experience I had these done before my father passed and those photos I treasure the most.

If your family is together this summer, it's worth a conversation with everyone to make it happen.

My studio is in San Clemente. Sessions booked by retainer, and summer fills faster than people expect.  If you've been thinking about reaching out, the sooner the better.
This studio session brought four generations into one room. The daughter who organized it got everyone together before her niece flew back to Idaho with a baby due in June. Sessions like this don't happen on accident. Studio or beach, the harder part is getting everyone in the same place. If yours is going to be in one place this year, this is the kind of session it makes.

Four generations on the beach for spring break. The great-grandparents in the center have lived in San Clemente for over sixty years and she's never moving. Their daughter flew in from Virginia to make this happen. Sessions like this don't happen on accident. Someone in the family decided this year was the year and called everyone in. There's a saying in this family that once you're in, you don't leave. If yours is going to be together this year, this is the kind of session it makes.

They saw how it was being done…. and said, “we’re doing it differently.”

No roadmap.
No support.
No paycheck for years.
A pandemic 18 months in.
And babies in the middle of it all.  Because why not. 😏

And still… they built it.

An award-winning hospital.
A powerhouse team of women.
A business that actually cares - about pets and people.
 
Oh - and they didn’t stop there.
They’re now helping other women step into ownership too.

This is what it looks like when you stop waiting… and just go for it.

If that little voice in your head has been whispering “what if”… this is your sign.

Contact me if you’re building something bold - I want to feature you.
She Means Business.

Two women.
Zero apologies.

Behind every successful brand is a face people trust. And trust begins with visibility.

If you’re building something extraordinary… your presence should reflect it.

High-level women don’t hide.
They lead.

DM me if you’re ready for your brand to match your ambition.
