After all the craziness of 2020 I am so excited to hit the sand
and see how much everyone has grown!
2021 Beach Mini Sessions are here!

Summer may be the perceived "best beach time" but believe it or not San Diego falls are hands down the BEST time to enjoy the beach. The gloomy skies have moved on, the dry air is warm and sweet, creating beautiful sunsets and cotton candy type skies. So lets capitalize on that with my favorite beach mini sessions! 

Coronado Beach Jetty
August 29th or September 10th
​Sessions are 20 minutes long and begin about 6pm*

Coronado Dunes
August 21st or September 19th
​Sessions are 20 minutes long and begin about 6pm*

*Sessions begin at $125 and include 3 retouched digital images.
($125 for up to 2 people and $25 for each additional person)

~ Session times are approximate and may be shifted 10-15mins or so
~All examples are for an idea of the location. No particular background is guaranteed, the beaches are public land and are forever changing. Weather ie like clouds and direct sun can and do effect colors and outcome of photos. With mother nature no back ground or colors can be guaranteed.
~ Additional images and prints are available for purchase 
~Mini sessions are NOT suggested for families larger than 5 or with children under the age of one.
Please reach out with any other questions or concerns a.burakrd@yahoo.com

The Macartney family is a photographers dream family....I mean just look at these boys! They should be modles

​forward to the next one!

We had the most beautiful evening in Coronado the other night.
The Sky was full of pink and yellows and this beautiful family was
​full of giggles and dance moves.

Sometimes during a shoot you just have to stop and dance...
​especially when you have a fun skirt on that twirls.

Thank you to the Rookus family for playing in the sand with
​me on this beautiful evening!
