San Clemente Beach Family Session | The Geer Family | Orange County Family Photographer | Cori Kleckner Photography

This session with the Geer Family at San Clemente Beach was one of my all-time favorites. Despite the overcast sky, the photos turned out absolutely stunning. It just goes to show how beautiful a cloudy day can be for capturing family moments. The soft, natural light of a cloudy day at the beach creates a timeless, serene backdrop, and I love how this session perfectly captured the natural, loving bond between the Geer family.

As an Orange County family photographer, one of my favorite things about shooting on the beaches of San Clemente is the versatility that the location offers. Whether it’s the rolling waves, the iconic lifeguard towers, or the expansive stretches of sand, every element combines to create the perfect canvas for family photography. The Geer Family was such a joy to work with, and their two little ones had so much fun exploring the sand and surf.

I love helping families capture these special moments at the beach, no matter the weather. From the gentle shoreline to the coastal cliffs, Orange County beach sessions always result in beautiful, natural portraits that will be cherished for years to come.

I had the pleasure of photographing the Duggins family for the first time during this beautiful session at Emerald Bay, Laguna Beach. The overcast day provided the perfect soft light, making this coastal session all the more magical. As an Orange County family photographer, there’s something truly special about capturing a family in such a relaxed, natural setting like the beach. The Duggins family was full of love and laughter, and it was an honor to freeze these heartfelt moments for them.

Emerald Bay is one of my favorite locations for family photography in Orange County.

This Laguna Beach Family session was such a dream to capture! Not too long ago, I was capturing The Roach family right as they welcomed their third little guy into the family, now look at him a few months later full of that adorable luscious baby chub! What a treasure it is seeing families & your kiddos grow. What an honor it is when families choose me time and time again to still be the one to capture their family. I love every minute of capturing you snuggle, kiss and play with your babies and never take this amazing job for granted .
