Crystal Cove Family Photos with a One-Year-Old | Newport Beach Family Photographer

This Crystal Cove family session with the Chang family was such a sweet reminder of how quickly the first year goes by. Their baby girl just turned one, and this stage is one of my favorites to photograph. If you’re looking for a Newport Beach family photographer or Newport Beach baby photographer, this is such a perfect age to document because your baby is full of personality, curiosity, and those little expressions you never want to forget.

Crystal Cove State Beach in Newport Beach is one of the best locations in Orange County for family photos, especially for families with young kids. The open space, soft coastal light, and natural scenery make sessions feel relaxed and effortless, without needing stiff posing. It’s also a great spot for one-year-old milestone photos because there’s room to move, cuddle, and let your little one explore while I capture the real moments in between.

For this session, we focused on a mix of classic family portraits and candid connection. We captured sweet snuggles, walking along the shoreline, and playful moments with their one-year-old as she took in everything around her. These are the kinds of family photos that become more meaningful as time passes because they don’t just show what your family looked like, they capture what this season felt like.

If you’re searching for Crystal Cove family photos in Newport Beach and you want a session that feels natural, timeless, and full of connection, I’d love to photograph your family. This is such a special stage of life, and it deserves to be documented in a way that feels beautiful and true to you.
