Choosing Your Oregon Coast Family Photographer

 

 

If you are looking for an  Oregon Coast Family Photographer you landed in the perfect spot!

The Oregon Coast is a magical and almost mystical place. Even though I have been to many different coasts in different parts of the world I have to say there’s nothing quite like it. Oregon Coast photography is as magical as it gets.

If you have been thinking of having pictures taken at the Oregon Coast all I can say is that this is a fantastic location. But now let me tell you more about why you should choose me as your photographer:

 

Why hire an Oregon Coast Family Photographer while you’re on vacation?

Your family vacations is the ideal time to have family photos taken

You might be wondering, “Is it really worth it to book a photoshoot on vacation?” Honestly? It can make all the difference — especially if you’re visiting somewhere as stunning as the Oregon Coast or colorful Portland. Vacation photos let you capture your family just as they are: relaxed, happy, and fully in the moment, without the rush of everyday life. Instead of a few quick phone snaps, you’ll come home with beautiful, lasting memories you’ll treasure for years.

 

When is the best time to do my Oregon Coast vacation photos?

The start of your vacation is ideal, but most importantly is getting it done.

While thinking about hiring your Oregon Coast Family Photographer, you might be wondering at what point in your trip is the best.

• Should we do the session at the start or end of our trip?”
  Booking at the start of your trip is usually best: everyone’s fresh, clothes are clean, and you’ll still feel excited. It also gives us room to reschedule in case of bad weather.

• “What time of day is best?”
  For the most flattering light, sunrise or sunset (“golden hour”) is ideal — especially at the beach or outdoor locations. Midday light tends to be much harsher, but of course, as an experienced photographer I’m totally happy to work with your schedule.

What should we wear for our Oregon Coast Family session?

Dreamy dresses, natural fabrics and color coordination are key.

My clients get my full support planning their outfits for family photos. That means that you’ll get a personalized style board, a planning consultation and access to my client closet. Making it super easy for you to plan the family photos of your dreams.

Some of my favorite stores to shop for dresses for family photos at the beach are:

Free People

Joy Folie

Christy Dawn

 

Can my Oregon Coast Family Photographer recommend the perfect spot for photos?

My favorite spots are Hug Point and and a few other spots along the coast.

As your Oregon Coast family photographer, helping you find the perfect location is actually one of my favorite parts of what I do. I love helping families discover the perfect spots — whether it’s dramatic coastal cliffs, peaceful forest trails you might not find on your own. And if we have time, we can even hop between a couple of locations to add more variety to your photos.

What if it rains?

Moody weather is not uncommon at the Oregon Coast, and it’s beautiful too!

• “What happens if the weather is bad?”
  We keep an eye on the forecast and can adjust the session time, change locations, or reschedule if needed. I leave space on my calendar so that I can accommodate changes related to weather or other non-preventable issues

 

 

Will the photos feel posed?

My style is unposed and natural, focused on play and fun.

Many families say:

• “We’re awkward in front of the camera.”
  My approach is natural and relaxed. I gently guide you so nothing feels stiff, and capture candid, emotive moments between you and your loved ones. Your kids will be having so much fun the won’t even mind having their photos taken.

How do we book a family session at the Oregon Coast?

It’s simple:

1. Reach out with your travel dates & vision.

2. We’ll choose the best location and time.

3. Sign your agreement & pay a retainer to reserve your session.

And that’s it — you can focus on enjoying your trip, knowing beautiful memories are planned.
