OREGON COAST FAMILY SESSION DETAILS
Gentle Guidance. Natural Moments.
FAMILY PHOTOS ALONG THE OREGON COAST
Wind in your hair, sandy feet, kids running freely — Oregon Coast family sessions are about being present together in one of the most beautiful places on earth.
RELAXED, JOYFUL FAMILY PHOTOS
No stiff poses. No pressure.
Just a relaxed experience where you can explore, laugh, and connect — while I gently guide you and capture the real moments that matter.
The Oregon Coast is my second home, and I know the quiet beaches, dramatic views, and golden evening light that make sessions feel effortless and meaningful.
You get more than photos — you get a memorable family experience captured naturally.
WHY THE OREGON COAST?
The Oregon Coast is the perfect place for family photos — wide open beaches give kids space to run, explore, and just be themselves.
No crowded studios. No pressure to sit still. Just fresh ocean air, beautiful light, and room to move.
With dramatic views, soft sand, and ever-changing skies, it’s a setting that feels peaceful and unforgettable — where your family can slow down, connect, and turn simple moments into lasting memories.
Shannon has been our family photographer for the past 3 years, taking photos of my two children from birth to toddler age and everything in between. I always leave the shoot knowing I will love the photos and when I finally see them I’m NEVER disappointed (and I’m really picky!) She’s extremely patient, easygoing, and somehow always gets my toddler to smile! She truly is a talented photographer and I can’t recommend her enough!

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME OF YEAR FOR BEACH FAMILY PHOTOS?
SUMMER & FALL
Summer and Fall is the warmest time of year at the Oregon Coast and the driest. Summer and Fall also brings higher chances of fog, especially in the evenings. Extreme low tides also make for amazing tide-pooling and exploring.
WINTER
In the peak of winter, it might be a little chilly or it might be all sunny, often more sun than rain. This is a perfect time for cozier outfits. King tides also occur, creating an epic wave viewing visit.
SPRING
The weather begins to warm but also spring showers are more common. This is a great time if you want to avoid peak tourist season.
WHAT TO EXPECT
WHY FAMILIES CHOOSE ME?

HOW DO YOU GET YOUR FAMILY TO SAY YES AND KNOW IT WILL BE FUN?
Worried about getting the whole family excited for photos? You’re not alone — and it’s exactly why these sessions are designed to feel more like a relaxed outing than a photoshoot. Kids can run, explore, and play while I guide you gently, so everyone stays engaged and comfortable. There is plenty of time for being silly, interacting with your family and making the memories you will remember the most. Most families leave surprised by how easy — and genuinely fun — the experience felt.

“Shannon has captured some of the most treasured memories in our life thus far.
Beginning with our engagement session and wedding, followed by maternity photos and newborn sessions for each of our children, as well as photographing our extended family. Shannon photographs beautiful & organic moments that you just can’t wait to frame and look back on for years to come.”
“What truly makes Shannon so special, on top of her beautiful work is her calming energy, it feels like you are taking photos with a friend. From playing hide & seek with my toddler to get her to smile or wrapping our baby in the most beautiful swaddle, she is quite the baby/child whisperer!
Her work never disappoints, I would recommend her to anyone looking for quality photos. The way they print is just stunning..”
