My favorite place to do family photos is on the Oregon Coast. Extra bonus for sun, and if the kiddos can make it to sunset, you’ll be in for the ultimate treat. I love the sweeping sky line, and the neutrality of sand and rock. It never fails to create the ideal environment for play for the kiddos and the parents always feel at ease as well because there is so much to do and see.

Indian Beach is always a go to because it’s easy to access from the parking lot and the rock formations and sea life give the kiddos an activity and the parents a chance to enjoy a beach day. This location is also so close to Cannon Beach that families always thank me for the recommendation and make a day or weekend trip, planned around our time together.

When Katherine reached out saying she had twins, I was really excited because I honestly don’t think I had ever photographed twins. These four showed up with the softest color palette and I love the way this sun soaked, sandy toed session turned out.

This session was captured on 35mm film. Kodak Porta 400.
