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 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

The original plan on this SUMMER day? The Oregon Coast….but then the weather was like “nah, I feel like rain and wind today” so we threw a hail mary and met in McMinnville instead…. and it was the best thing ever! No wind, earth tones for days, sunshine, and the damn finest dressed fam you ever did see.

When you get to spend the day with this gorgeous girl, dressed in sequins and flowy dresses, you can’t help but want to share all of the pretty…

With all that sunshine and this gorgeous family, this rustic session was a total success!
