Nick and Katie’s Surprise Proposal at Coronado Beach

Yesterday, as the sun began to set over Coronado Beach, casting golden hues across the soft, undulating dunes, Katie and Nick made their way towards the dunes. The sound of gentle waves lapping against the shore created a serene backdrop as Nick guided Katie along the sandy dunes. This is one of their favorite San Diego beaches, a place filled with shared memories and moments that made their relationship grow. As they reached a secluded part of the dunes, Nick paused to get down on one knee in a spot where he had arranged a small area with soft blankets, a few candles, and a bottle of champagne nestled in a basket with flowers. It felt intimate, a world away from the bustling beach.

Monique’s Family Session at Coronado Beach, San Diego CA

Yesterdays early morning session with Monique and her sweet family was so much fun! We got there early early morning at 7am, which thanks to the time change didn’t feel quite so early. And we ran through the dunes, and Ellie (monique’s daughter) told us all about her new baby brother and hunted for birds and beautiful shells. Monique and I actually used to work together many moons ago, so it was amazing getting to see a friend. I loved getting to hang out with the whole family while we just got to chat and pretend for just one minute that things are sort of normal, or maybe we’re just all doing our best and adjusting to this new normal.
