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…

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

Golden hour, wildlife, pet snails, and a beautiful family connection in the countryside of McMinnville, Oregon.
