If you have been thinking of having your family portraits taken on location at your favorite spot or in a studio setting, then Sun Diego Photo can help. Carolynn Shelby is a San Diego, California professional photographer for weddings, portraits and special events, on-location. Photography portfolio and gallery. Carolynn Shelby is a San Diego photographer with and Artistic and Photojournalistic Approach.

I love taking family portraits of kids and dogs as well as the whole family. I believe capturing those candid moments as well as the posed portrait for over the fireplace are both important. I will work with you and try to get to know your family a little so that your personalities show in the photos. So gather up your babies, children, pets and/or just the grown ups and have your family portrait taken by a photographer who enjoys what she does.

My Rates are reasonable and affordable and I give you a full hour and a half to two hours. This gives plenty of time to get to know you and give you a variety of photos. I give you over 100 images usually, sometimes up to 200.

I believe my photography speaks for it’s self, so please take a look at my galleries. I am an award winning fine art photographer as well as wedding photographer and a member of the Wedding Photojournalistic Association. I shoot Corporate Event Photography, other Event Photography such as Quencineras, bat mitzvahs, bar mitzvahs, Birthdays and I also photograph family portraits on location anywhere in San Diego. Most common places are La Jolla Beaches, Coronado Beach, Hotel Del Coronado and Balboa Park but can also include many other locations in San Diego for photography including Jamul and Cuyamaca . I will travel up to Los Angeles for additional fees and up to San Juan Capistrano and Fallbrook without additional Fees.

My approach is to capture what is put in front of me and to look for those key moments, not to force them. I have been known to nudge on occasion, but prefer not to force. Even in my teaching I take this approach. I find more control in not having the control. Does this mean I do not direct, no. I will direct when it is needed, such as for family and formal shots, but mostly taking in what is happening and capture what I see. I do also enjoy the artistry of posed photography, but even during those moments I utilize the individual's personality to guide me in my approach. I believe it is good to set up an idea, but to let the idea take on its own life and capture what happens. I am a photographer in San Diego who loves to venture even to the outskirts of San Diego. Some of the locations I have photographed family portrait sessions are La Jolla Shores, La Jolla Cove, Boomers in La Jolla, Hotel Del Coronado, Coronado Beach, Jamul Indian Hills, Morrison Pond in Bonita, Sweetwater Reserve in Bonita, Romana, San Diego Parks, Chula Vista Parks, San Juan Capistrano Mission, Old Town, Balboa Park, The Prado Balboa Park San Diego, and many more.
