once in a lifetime we may find our one true love… this is just the case for Katie & Tony. they are both successful, independent and amazing individuals but together they truly shine. from the moment Katie contacted me we hit it off. let’s just put it this way, her name is my phone is Cute Katie!

a beach about 1.5 hours south of me named Yachats holds a special place for them and was the perfect location for their shoot. the weather was amazing but oh my… the wind was something else. as you can see though, the wind didn’t bother them any because they rocked it.

we chatted about how they met, their jobs and family, but the whole time i wasn’t really focusing on the conversation. why? because their connection was unlike anything i’ve ever seen. i was in awe of how much they complimented one another. the way Tony watched her when she was laughing and helped hold the hair out of her face was with such love and tenderness.

moments like these are why i love my job. being able to capture the moments that take our breath away… amazing!

“WOW”…. what a FUN senior session. Jayda, along with her mom and grandma came to the Coast for her senior experience and ROCKED it! We had so much fun shooting, laughing and chasing the light. 

I have nothing but LOVE for this amazing family. When Sarah contacted me we connected right away and the moment we stepped foot on the beach this family had completely stolen my heart. Their style is top notch and I love her hair… Yes, I hair envy over here! When I started shooting her brothers family they told me they haven’t had their family photos taken in YEARS… yes years! I kinda giggled a little bit as I had to confess that I hadn’t either. As a photographer my family images never come off my computer, sadly to say. This year I hope to get them up on my walls once and for all. Here’s to hoping….

The Olson family traveled all the way from Canada to the Oregon Coast for their family vacation. I was so blessed to spend this gorgeous morning with them on the beach, playing and having fun. Also, hearing Leah talk was like a bird singing, her accent is incredible. Seriously their pup loved wearing this hat and how stinken cute is he and his big ole smile?

Kristine is the owner of Kristine Jayne Photography out of  Phoenix, AZ. Her family and friends came up to the Oregon Coast for a relaxing vacation and asked me to come photograph them. I adore her and her beautiful family. Such a great group of people and even though we were freezing it was so much fun.
