Favorite San Diego Locations

Do you want to book a family photography session in San Diego but don’t know where to start? Are you curious to see which locations look best for your photography session? Do you want to see examples of photos taken at a specific location?

I’ve created a list of a few places in the San Diego County area that are so beautiful to photograph; you’ll want to print those photos and hang them at home!

Scroll down to see some beautiful families and locations they have chosen for their photoshoots.

La Jolla Scripps Pier

Located in the heart of La Jolla, sunset photoshoots are always magical on this spot. Park in the neighborhood, walk down the stairs, and enjoy the sand on your feet. The pier gives a beautiful backdrop and the cliffs that meet the ocean.

Presidio Park

Centrally located in San Diego, Presidio Park offers beautiful Spanish-style backdrops. Whether you are looking for a minimalist look using the white building or if you are looking for more character under the arches. This location has been a favorite for family photoshoots due to its versatility.

Coronado Sand Dunes

This location is right next to the very famous Hotel Del and offers a variety of photo spots. Including a white sand beach, beautiful sand dunes, palm trees, and, of course, the Hotel Del as a backdrop. This location is excellent both in the morning and during sunset.
