The Toussaint Family: A Sunny Day in Seal Beach
As a Southern California photographer, I'm always thrilled when a family wants to capture their memories at the beach. There's a timeless, laid-back magic to our coastline that makes for the perfect backdrop. Recently, I had the pleasure of spending a beautiful afternoon with the Toussaint family at one of my favorite local spots: Seal Beach.
Seal Beach has a unique charm that sets it apart. It’s more than just a beach; it’s a quintessential small town with a tree-lined Main Street, a historic pier, and a sense of calm that makes everyone feel right at home. It’s a photographer's dream, offering a variety of backdrops from the soft white sand and the classic old wood pier to the greenery of Eisenhower Park. This diversity allows me to capture a wide range of genuine moments, from playful photos by the waves to relaxed family portraits with the sunset as a canvas.
For this session, we were blessed with a perfect day. The sky was a vibrant blue, and as the day wound down, we were treated to a colorful and sweet sunset that provided a stunning golden hour glow. We explored the area, letting the Toussaint family's natural interactions guide the shoot. The best photos are always the candid ones—the shared laughter, the quiet hand-holding, and the unscripted moments that truly tell a family's story.
Whether you're a local looking to document a "day in the life" or a family on vacation wanting to capture your adventures, a customized session is the perfect way to freeze those moments in time. From a playful day on the sand to a sightseeing trip, our goal is always to create an experience that feels authentic and joyful.
The memories we create together will become cherished heirlooms, reminding you of this special time in your family's journey.

Note To Family:
I had a wonderful time with the Toussaint Family at one of my favorite Southern California Beach locations. The day provided us with a most excellent blue sky complete with a colorful and sweet sunset.
I've always found Seal Beach to be a great spot for family portraits because of its laid back small town feel, tree lined main street and soft white sand beach that offers such diversity in photographic opportunities. Some highlights include:, Eisenhower Park, historical Red Car Museum, and of course the classic old wood pier.
