GOLDEN GATE MOTHER’S Magazine, "Young Mom" Story

Here are a few highlights from a recent photoshoot for Golden Gate Mothers Magazine at Ocean Beach, San Francisco, capturing the essence of "Young Moms" for an upcoming article.

By sheer luck, the shoot landed on one of those rare, almost mythical beach days—warm, calm, and utterly perfect. The usual thick fog and wind were nowhere to be found. Instead, the air was still, the sun was gentle, and the sand was scattered with crabs and sand dollars. It was such a special moment at Ocean Beach—one that felt like a gift.

Photo sessions like these remind me why I love photography—the ability to freeze time, to capture emotions that might otherwise slip away in the rush of daily life. I hope these images bring you into the moment with us, letting you feel the warmth of the sun, the softness of the breeze, and the connection shared between the Mom and the kids.
