There’s nothing better than a golden hour session with happy dogs and their favorite human, especially when it’s at one of the most scenic spots in town. As a San Diego dog photographer, I love capturing the joy and personality of every pup I meet, and this session at Coronado Dog Beach was no exception.
Meet our stars—two adorable Chugs, Dewy and Darla, who also happen to be sisters from different litters. These two were full of energy, running through the sand, chasing waves, and occasionally stopping to strike a pose. Their mom wanted to capture their playful bond, but like true siblings, they had their own ideas. Sometimes they’d sit together perfectly, and other times… not so much. When they refused to pose at the same time, we rolled with it, taking individual shots and later working some Photoshop magic to bring them together.
The afternoon light was perfect, casting a warm glow on the sand and highlighting their expressive faces. Whether they were sprinting across the beach or giving me their best head tilts, every moment was a joy to photograph. By the end of the session, we had a collection of images that truly captured their personalities—sweet, spunky, and full of life.
After the session, Mom chose to preserve these special memories in the most beautiful way—by purchasing an heirloom album featuring all her favorite photographs. Crafted by Blacksmith Print Co., this stunning album showcases her Chugs in all their beachside glory, from playful action shots to sweet, soulful portraits. It’s a timeless keepsake that she can flip through for years to come, reliving their perfect day at Coronado Dog Beach over and over again.
