Golden Hour Magic: Capturing Family Memories at Newport Beach (100% Unedited Slideshow)
 

There's something truly special about capturing family moments, especially during the holiday season. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful family at the iconic Newport Beach pier. The golden hour light, the stunning ocean backdrop, and the genuine connection between family members made this session truly magical. And what's even more remarkable? This entire slideshow showcases the images completely unedited. At Glenn Inskeep Photography, we achieve stunning results straight out of the camera, thanks to our professional on-site studio lighting. It's all about capturing natural beauty without the harshness of the midday sun.

Behind the Scenes:

Photographing a large family can be a fun and rewarding experience. With multiple generations coming together, there's a beautiful dynamic to capture. This particular family was full of energy and holiday spirit. We met near the Newport Pier and took advantage of the stunning beach scenery. One of the key advantages of our on-site studio lighting is that we can control the light, even outdoors. This eliminates the harsh shadows and squinting faces that often occur when shooting in direct sunlight, especially during the golden hour. This is particularly beneficial for those with light eyes, who are often more sensitive to bright light. The children were playful and excited, which made for some wonderful candid shots, while the adults were happy to pose for more formal family portraits. As the sun began to set, the light became even more magical, adding a warm and golden glow to the entire session.

"My approach to portraiture—whether it's a family group, a graduating senior, a couple in love, or a maternity session—is to create a comfortable and collaborative experience. I bring the same level of direction and attention to detail as I would to one of my modeling portfolio or fashion catalog shoots. I guide my clients through posing, expressions, and interactions, ensuring they feel confident and look their absolute best. This makes for a much better photo, and my clients truly appreciate the direction. I want to capture a mix of posed and candid shots that are not only beautiful but also reflect the genuine connection and personality of the individuals. The beach setting provided a perfect backdrop for this session. I wanted to incorporate the iconic Newport Pier and the beautiful ocean views to create timeless memories. And because we use professional lighting, the images you see here are truly representative of what you can expect from a Glenn Inskeep Photography session – naturally beautiful, with minimal editing. Beyond family portraits, I also specialize in graduation portraits, professional headshots, maternity portraits, couple portraits, and any other portrait ideas you can dream up!"

Newport Beach is a dream location for family portraits. The pier, the beach, and the surrounding areas offer a variety of scenic backdrops. The light is particularly beautiful during the golden hour, just before sunset, which is the ideal time for capturing warm and flattering portraits. And with our mobile studio lighting, we can ensure perfect lighting, regardless of the time of day.
