Where we shoot, on a map
You may see a few photos from nearby locations here. Many shoots span multiple spots in the same session.
Where you land comes down to the session you choose. A shorter weekday session sits at the low end; a weekend session with more time and more edited photos sits at the top. There's no deposit, and you pay after the shoot, not before.

A few things about Seacliff State Beach
Paid or free lot adjacent to the sand; can fill up on weekends.
Dog-friendly in most areas; leash rules vary by season.
West-facing — chase the last hour of sun through blue hour, especially clear winter evenings.
Exposed — wind picks up in the afternoon. Bring layers + a hair-tie if it's a coast cliff.
Seacliff State Beach also appears as Rio del Mar / Seacliff.
