Excited about Carlsbad!
We are excited to release our Carlsbad Collection - images of the various beaches and waves of this great coastal city. Enjoy! See the collection here.
The Foundation
It's more than a business
Westphoria, a family owned and operated biz, has roots in North San Diego for 40+ years. We're all about beach vibes, raising our groms to ride the waves and soak up those epic sunsets. Surf, sand, tacos - that's our jam!
The Why
The Unique Coastal Experience
The coast is uniquely beautiful. The meeting of ocean, water, and sky offers beauty beyond description, lasting memories, shared experiences, and profound feelings of wonder and perspective. It serves as a sanctuary for relaxation, rejuvenation, and creative inspiration.
The Capture
Getting the Shots
Todd Willer, the ocean photographer behind Westphoria, contributes a selection of distinctive prints. Through his work in the ocean, he seizes moments of ideal conditions for photography, often at dawn. He also ventures to non-ocean settings with his family, seeking beauty and adventure. More about the gear used.
What's Special
These Images are Local
Leveraging vast surfing and photography knowledge of southern California, our images capture a local's perspective: optimal beach visit times, secret spots, top sunset views, and more. We've explored every nook of San Diego's coast, enjoyed Moonlight Beach with our family and friends, hiked Torrey Pines, tackled Blacks' Rambo trail, camped from San Elijo to El Capitan, and cruised the 101 extensively. These adventures inspire our photography.
The Share
We Know We Aren't the Only Ones
Initially, Todd's images were exclusively shared with family and friends. Our presence has since expanded to shows, events, and Westphoria. We are grateful for the selection of this coastal imagery in homes and living spaces.
Featured Collection: Carlsbad
Carlsbad embodies sand, family entertainment, dining, and the quintessential socal atmosphere.
