Carlson Family Portraits - Manhattan Beach Pier, CA

The Carlson family recently had a family portrait session at the Manhattan Beach pier and beach on a sunny, beautiful day.

The location provided a stunning backdrop for the session, with the ocean waves crashing against the pillars and sandy beach.

The family started the session on the pier, where we were able to capture the unique structure of the pier as well as the beautiful ocean view.

With the sun shining bright, we were able to get some amazing shots of the family in their casual beach attire.

Next, we moved under the pier, taking advantage of the shade and the pillars to create a different mood and atmosphere for the photos.

The pillars provided a unique framing for the family shots, and we were able to capture some playful moments between the children as they explored the area.

Finally, we made our way down to the sandy beach and waterfront, where we captured some more traditional family portraits with the ocean waves in the background.

The Carlson family was having a blast, playing and running around on the beach, and we were able to capture some great candid shots as well as more posed portraits.

Throughout the session, the Carlson family was a joy to work with, bringing their own energy and personality to the shoot.

The result was a set of stunning, memorable photos that will last a lifetime.

If you're looking for a family portrait session that captures the beauty of Southern California's beaches, the Manhattan Beach pier and beach is an excellent choice.
