Capturing small family moments by the coast is always such a joy, and Hanna’s session with her husband and 9-month-old daughter at Davenport Landing Beach was no exception. We chose this quiet, scenic spot along the northern Santa Cruz coastline for its natural beauty and relaxed vibes, giving plenty of space for little ones to explore and play. Hanna wanted simple, authentic photos that highlighted her growing family, and that’s exactly what we created—soft, candid moments of connection between parents and their baby, surrounded by sand, water, and gentle coastal light. This session was a reminder that family photography doesn’t have to be complicated; it’s about capturing the love, playfulness, and everyday magic in a setting that feels natural to you. If you’re looking for a Santa Cruz family photographer, sessions like this one at Davenport Landing are perfect for a small family who wants heartfelt, relaxed photos in a beautiful outdoor location.
