This San Clemente lifestyle session was all about letting the moments unfold naturally: barefoot races along the shoreline, a comfortable embrace and plenty of laughter in between. The overcast light gave everything a calm, timeless feel which is exactly the feeling Nicole said she wanted to capture together.
