Encinitas, with its charming streets, stunning beaches, and golden sunsets, is a photographer’s dream. For those seeking to preserve life’s most beautiful moments amidst this idyllic coastal backdrop, Alison Hatch Photo (little ol’ me) offers a personalized and artful approach to photography. Based in the heart of Encinitas, I combine my passion for storytelling with a signature creative style to deliver images that are as unique as the people in them.

Encinitas is more than just a location; it’s a lifestyle. With its relaxed vibe, iconic surf culture, and breathtaking natural beauty, it provides the perfect canvas for portraits, family sessions, and celebrations. Whether you’re strolling through the vibrant gardens of the San Diego Botanic Garden, playing on Moonlight Beach, or exploring the coastal trails at Swami’s, there’s no shortage of stunning spots for a memorable photo session.
