Where do I even begin… Shelby owns my 2nd home in Lincoln City (Salt Coffee Shop). I can’t function correctly if I don’t start with my signature iced espresso from her place. And if you know this cafe, then you know that the style of decor is one of a kind. When I walked into their home for the first time….

We woke up with the sun, and played catch me if you can on this gorgeous beach in Neskowin, Oregon. Photographing this sweet family made crawling out of bed early worth every minute.

I’ve been lucky enough to get to photograph this sweet family year after year. Liam’s personality shines bright right just his older brother Orion. Liam is the goofball of the bunch, while Orion has a sweet sensitive side. They have that special kind of love for their mama who I love so much. We wandered their gorgeous property, full of salamanders and large tree stumps ready for climbing. I’ll forever look forward to their next session…

Finally sharing some of the photos from the happy times from this past year. Shelby, owner of salt crave (my most favorite place in the whole wide world), and her fiancé Tyler, owner of Schooner Creek Designs (so freaking talented), spent a couple hours with me roaming the empty beaches of Pacific City, Oregon. It was full of cold wind and a glowing sun, and I just feel so happy about how the day went.

The most gorgeous boho senior session, yummy light, and a picture perfect sunset in Pacific City to end the evening!

I feel so lucky to know such an selfless and helpful human in this industry. Betty was also raised in Pacific City, so these photos makes them that much more meaningful. Her family is the freakin’ cutest ever, and even though the beach was crazy packed, we pretended we were the only ones there

Can we just take a moment…. to appreciate… all of this beauty? Nicole over at Pacific Coast Floral Design was like “I have a bunch of brown ferns” and I didn’t even have to think about saying Yes. She’s just so creative and I’m so lucky to call her my friend. Natalie from Natalie Kate Images brought the most beautiful dress from Reclamation and beautified her fingers with rings from RAW by Olivia Mar. Basically, everything was perfect.

Wait until you see this curly haired, adventure seeking, so in love couple!

Loving all of the fun backdrops Lincoln City had to offer for Michael’s senior session!

Spent a few fun hours with Emma and her perfect hair and beautiful personality. I can’t believe this is my JOB!
