Cannon Beach & the Oregon Coast Family & Session Photographer

As a local to the northern Oregon Coast I specialize in session photography on the beach. The Oregon Coast is a magical place for families, kids and everyone. Creating a fun and adventurous photo session experience where laughter and happiness shines though in each image. The perfect place to capture amazing moments together. Whether vacationing with family, a family reunion or a couples retreat I can help preserve those memories.

With 20 years of professional photography experience and a lifetime commitment to the art of photography I make it my goal to capture timeless photographs to be cherished for generations. My wife and I with our 4 kids enjoy the slower pace and beauty of living on the Oregon Coast. I am dedicated to creating memories of joy and emotion in all of my photographs. From natural lifestyle, candid and posed to those in between moments.

LOCATIONS

I can help with location suggestions and local knowledge of the Oregon Coast. There is an abundant amount of amazing beach locations to choose from. In some cases the best location for your session may be the beach where you are staying. The convenience of walking out onto the sand and meeting your photographer can work really well.

Choose from incredible locations capturing the beauty of the coast. I frequently photograph in Cannon Beach & Haystack Rock, Manzanita Beach, Seaside, Rockaway Beach, Pacific City, Neskowin and all along the north coast. Choose from an abundant amount of amazing scenery. From dramatic views of sea stacks to soft sandy beaches, waterfalls and old growth forests. I can also photograph indoors if needed.

BEST TIME OF DAY

Sometimes the best time of day for photos is when your kiddos are most happy. Although, once they step out onto the beach and start exploring the magic of the Oregon Coast, that makes for happy and joyful photos. I generally recommend early morning, afternoon or evenging sessions. With my session booking calendar you can choose from any time of day or pre set sunset session times. The sunset session time begins about 1 hour before sunset to capture that golden hour of photography. Mid day photographs can also work great.

WHATS INCLUDED

Fun and engaging photo sessions to preserve your family memories. Where the mountains meet the ocean makes for a spectacular backdrop for your family photography session. With each session you will have the choice of amazing locations along the coast. Spectacular wide open beaches with rolling sand grass hills, sea stacks, waterfalls, old growth forests and incredible viewpoints.

My photo sessions generally last around 1 hour and include a large variety of posed, fun and lifestyle images. Your photos will be posted to an online photo gallery where you can download your high resolution collection of memories and have the option of ordering prints. Each session includes 70-120 edited high resolution digital photographs.

I look forward to helping with your beach photography session on the Oregon Coast!
