Family Session1. How to Book – Effortless & Fun Family Photography
My name is Jessica, owner of The Beach Photographer based in Pismo Beach, California. Nice to meet you! The first step is easy – contact us. I’m happy to communicate over email, text, or a phone call, whatever works best for you!
After selecting a time, portrait package, and location that works best for your family, I will email you an all-in-one booking link. Check out the style guide to help you prepare for our session together.
2. What to Expect The Day of Our Session
When we meet, I’ll introduce myself to your family, and we’ll dive in! I’ll take a few group photos and then introduce fun prompts and opportunities for candid and lifestyle photos. We’ll take photos of all types of family groupings, kids only, parents only, and even change outfits as time allows to ensure we have plenty of awesome shots from our time together! I like to do a little walking around during our session to capture different backgrounds too.
3. After Our Session, Beautiful Photos to Print & Share
Within two weeks after our session, I’ll email you an online gallery full of beautiful photos. No need to choose your favorites – you keep them all! Download both the full-size images to print and social media-size images to share online.
You will also have the option to purchase professional prints and wall art directly from your gallery or print them anywhere you’d like. If you have any other questions, reach out anytime! Ready to get started? Contact us to book.
Jess is an amazing photographer, and so easy to work with! She took gorgeous photos of my family and was great with my difficult to photograph toddler and infant. Communication was great, and she got the photos to us super quick. I’d definitely recommend her for your next family photos!

Family PhotographyJess took some maternity photos of us during our babymoon and they were amazing! Jess was really easy to work and communicate with leading up to our photo shoot, which we’re so thankful for as we were coming in from out of town and we’re needing to keep an eye on the weather. Highly recommend Jess!
