Big Sur, California Winter Photo Session with the Larkin Family
Finding time to blog during this blog during the holidays and busy season with work has been hard but I had to share this winter session. Growing up here I've spent a lot of time at the beach, so I'm usually drawn to locations that have a little something more than beautiful ocean blues. When Jenna told me she had access to this beach but that we would have to hike, I couldn't say yes fast enough. By the time we got down to the location it was much later than I had originally planned, once I turned the bend and saw the light entering from between the bridge supports I knew this was meant to be.
Big Sur maintains a wildness about it that I haven't found on any other coast. Plunging cliffs, massive bridges, and miles of uninhabited rolling hills. One of my favorite activities is hiking new places with my camera in tow, so when families or couples want to do this with me I know I couldn't have a job I enjoy more. Now back to editing!
If you’re wondering what to do for your engagement photos—you’re not alone.
Most couples come in saying:
“We want something natural… but we have no idea where to start.”
The truth is, the best engagement sessions aren’t built around poses.
They’re built around experiences.
At Flora Gibson Photography, I approach engagement sessions like a quiet story unfolding—something you step into, not perform.
Here are ideas that will help your photos feel like you.
