Mini-Sessions Round 1 | Family and children’s photographer Longview Wa.
Back in November I ran a facebook special that went over so well I had to do it twice! This is the first round of mini-sessions from way back then, of course I had to wait until now to post them as all of these families used photos from their sessions for the Christmas cards and I didn’t want to spoil the surprise for anyone.

Cannon Beach
My friend and I decided to take a trip down to Cannon Beach with all of our kids (well most of them that is). We figured we’d make an appearance on the beach and let the kids fly kites or something like that until they were frozen and then pack up and hit some candy shops. We dressed warm (it was November after all) grabbed our kites, kids, blankets, sweatshirts, coats and wagon and headed out on the beach. Once we got on the beach we realized that A. There was no wind so kites were out. B. It was REALLY warm so sweatshirts were unnecessary. And C. The water looked really inviting to those kids. So we all un-bundled ourselves and started playing. I’ve never been to the Oregon Coast and had it 1. Not be windy, or 2.Be warm. It was both. At first it started out with “let’s just let the kids get their feet wet” and next thing we knew all of the older ones were soaking wet, laughing and having a great time. Now I thought that once they were wet they would get cold, but no…it was really that warm. They got out of the water, played in the sand for a good long time, got BACK in the water, played in the sand some more and then repeated it until the sand in their pants started to rub their legs raw at which point we finally decided it was time to pack on up and get those kiddos some dry (and un-sandy) clothes. I think we were on the beach a good 3 or 4 hours which is also probably the longest amount of time I’ve ever spent on the Oregon coast as it’s always windy and cold out there…..this day was the first exception I’d ever seen and I loved it.
Olivia giving me her “Can I please get in the water????” look.
Tristen (being a typical 7-month old) had to taste the sand.
From that point forward it was a losing battle between me and sand.
Such a cute little sand monster! (and I think I went through a case of wipes on him)
The older boys all covered in sand from hours of road and sand castle building.
The 5-year-olds : No we didn’t let them get that far out without one of us close by – my friend is just out of the shot. ;-)
All-in-all the beach was a huge success. Dirty exhausted kids. Worn out parents. And some super fun memories with photos to boot!

One of my favorite families to photograph. I love them and their kiddos….they are wonderful, amazing people and I’m blessed to have them in my life.
