San Diego’s beautiful bounty of locations for photo sessions does not disappoint! Lots of beaches, but the top 3 best San Diego beaches for photo sessions make this list undeniable. With over 15 years of sessions in outdoor San Diego locations, Connie has done the work, photographed 1,000’s of families, seniors and babies, and narrowed down to the best photo locations in San Diego!
Our beautiful Coronado is an island, and it’s got the coolest vibe! The beach, rocks, gorgeous spots in the Del, and gorgeous homes around every corner, makes this a stunning location for photos! Not often you’ll find a vintage VW bus on the sand, surfboards lined up perfectly and beautiful dunes all within a 10-minute walk!










Stunning cliffs, hidden alcoves and beautiful water lines make this beach a winner! Whether you want senior photos, family session or maternity – the beach is big enough for big fun families, and has plenty of crevices for cozier, more secluded spots too. The only caveat is making sure to check the tide schedule in order to access the sand. Otherwise, cliffs are good, just no toes-in-the-sand if it’s high tide!














The pier in La Jolla has been a favorite spot of mine for over a decade! No matter how many times I’m there photographing families, seniors, maternity sessions – they’re all so unique as the beach, skies and overall landscape brings its own personality!












So there you have it, the top 3 best beaches for photo sessions in San Diego. Which one is your favorite? Maybe one I didn’t mention? I can probably add a few more, but these are definitely this SoCal girl’s favorite spots for photos!
