Manhattan Beach Photographer | Manhattan Beach Family Photos

The Jones family headed west from Texas to bring their kids to Disneyland--and stopped by idyllic Manhattan Beach by the sea to meet with us for Manhattan Beach family photos at the Manhattan Beach Pier.

It was another amazing sunset evening, and the Jones gang was a whole lot of fun to spend time with. Call us local chauvinists, but we're betting they don't have summer nights like this back in Texas.

Behind the scenes video at a Manhattan Beach Engagement session for Cecile and Brian, our August 20th San Pedro bride and groom. It was an amazing, glorious summer sunset by the Manhattan Beach Pier, which photographer Sam Graham documented along with the happy couple.

It was cool to meet Katie on Sunday, for a weekend portrait session at that most iconic of settings, the Manhattan Beach Pier. Sam Graham and Katie did a variety of poses at "magic hour," until sunset, as Katie sought new headshots for blogs and newsletters.

Manhattan Beach Portraits | Manhattan Beach Pier | Manhattan Beach Quinceañera

We met the lovely Victoria Monday under the Manhattan Beach Pier for a portrait shoot. The meeting was to get a killer shot for display at her weekend Manhattan Beach Quinceañera, which is being held this weekend at Veranadas in Manhattan Beach. And we think we got it--we arrived under the Pier just in time for a big, rich, yellow sunset.
