Family Photos at Cannon Beach, the Oregon Coast, and Portland
The Pacific Northwest is unmatched when it comes to scenery, and few places capture its magic better than Cannon Beach, the Oregon Coast, and Portland. Whether you’re drawn to the wild coastline or the charm of city-meets-nature, these backdrops create unforgettable settings for family photos that feel timeless, emotional, and true to you.
Family Photos at Cannon Beach and the Oregon Coast
The Oregon Coast is known for its moody skies, windswept beaches, and dramatic sea stacks—perfect for storytelling family portraits. At Cannon Beach, your kids can run barefoot across the sand while Haystack Rock towers in the background, and you can embrace in the golden light of sunset.
Other Oregon Coast treasures include:
Hug Point – waterfalls, caves, and tidepools for adventurous families
Manzanita – a peaceful, uncrowded shoreline ideal for intimate portraits
Cape Perpetua – crashing waves and dramatic cliffs for the bold at heart
Seaside – playful, family-friendly energy with a classic boardwalk
Tips for Your Oregon Coast Session
Dress in layers—the weather can shift quickly.
Choose neutral, coastal-inspired colors that harmonize with sand and sea.
Schedule your photos during golden hour for soft, glowing light.
