A classic Manhattan Beach Pier family photo idea shot directly under the pier, waves crashing behind them for the perfect coastal backdrop.

The middle child and eldest lift their toddler sister, all toes in the sand. It was a playful moment for beach family photos with three children.

Individual portraits of each child, all different ages, captured playing on the beach. These are examples of timeless lifestyle beach family photography.

The oldest boy picks up the baby girl and smiles at the camera. It’s one of those perfect family poses at Manhattan Beach Pier.

The two little girls wear matching blue dresses and bows as the older sister hugs the baby, a sweet highlight of South Bay family photography.

The three kids pose together on the beach steps, creating a clean, classic shot for Manhattan Beach family photos.

The whole family gathers on the steps – mom and dad each holding a child, with the eldest in the middle – a beautiful coastal family portrait to end the session.
