A week at the beach {gold beach brookings oregon, family photographer}

I’m in love with the ocean.  Let’s start there.  The way it sounds.   The way is smells.  The awe inspiring, breathtaking, aching beauty of it all.  Once I get there I never want to leave.  So it only makes sense that our latest trip to the Southern Oregon coast has produced some of my most favorite photos to date.  I just can’t help but be inspired.  My poor children were sick to death of the camera once I was done.  But you can’t tell it by these photos.  Obviously they love me 😉  I didn’t really plan their wardrobe choices well enough before we left (I was too darn excited to get to the Ocean!), but we made do with a little thrift store shopping, and some creativity.  I also brought along my sister on this trip and was able to get INTO some of these pics!  Yipeeeeee!  So glad I did.  We were in desperate need of some new family photos.  As soon as we move into our new home, there will be some big prints happening.  I can’t imagine that I’ll have very many bare walls after this.  There are a LOT of photos…. are you ready for this?

WELCOME

I’m a pretty simple gal, I love Jesus, my handsome hubby and my 4 not so tiny kiddos teenagers. I love the beach and feeling the sun on my shoulders and the wind in my hair. I love wild color, and crazy love. I love coffee and bacon and tacos. Tending my garden and chickens feed my soul. If you will let me in, I promise to capture a little part of your one wild and beautiful life, and all the things that make YOU happy.
