Pacific City Oregon Family Session in the Fog
Oregon Coast Family Session | The Mick Family
Pacific City is one of the most popular beach towns in Oregon. So many families spend their summer vacations here. What better way to document your amazing beach visit than booking a family session. I had the honor of photographing 20+ families this past summer along the Oregon Coast. This family session was a favorite for sure. In the summer, there is a good chance of a foggy day, especially in Pacific City. On this day, the fog hug Cape Kiwanda tightly. You could barely see anything. The solution, bright colored outfits. I love how the colors popped in the fog. We had such a great time together and I love that they ended the session with a splash in the ocean. A family session at the beach should always end in the water!
What if the weather is bad on the day of your Oregon Coast photo session?
- Embrace the weather you have been given. I love foggy days at the Coast because it creates a moody, almost romantic feel. Colors pop and everyone can open their eyes in all directions. Photos can be taken more hours of the day on foggy days, because their are no harsh mid-day shadows. If its raining, bring a few clear umbrellas and have fun with it. Some of my favorite family photos involve getting wet.
- Change the location. Rainy weather often is hit or miss along the Coast, depending on where you are. Maybe a 15-20 minute drive north or south will get you out of the rain clouds.
- Change the time. It's not too common for it to rain nonstop all day, of course, maybe in winter. But in the fall and spring, rain often takes breaks. In the summer, it is very rare to experience rain showers.
