There's something about Astoria that keeps pulling people back. Maybe it's the fishing boats in the harbor, the fog rolling through the hills, or the way every season feels a little different from the last.
As an Astoria photographer, I specialize in documenting families, couples, seniors, and small celebrations in a way that feels natural and true to who you are. My approach is simple: less stiff posing, more connection.
Whether we're wandering downtown Astoria, exploring a quiet beach nearby, or chasing golden light through a field, my goal is to create images that feel like memories rather than a photoshoot.
Living on the coast means embracing whatever the weather brings. Some of my favorite sessions have happened in fog, wind, and light drizzle.
You don't need perfect weather.
You don't need perfect outfits.
You don't even need to know how to pose.
You just need to show up as yourselves.
Every season offers something different. Summer brings long evenings and warmer weather, while fall and winter often create the moody coastal atmosphere many people love.
Absolutely. I regularly photograph sessions throughout Clatsop County and the Oregon Coast.
Yes. Family sessions, couples, engagements, seniors, maternity, and small weddings are all available.
Sessions begin at $600. This includes up to an hour of shooting time, 1-2 outfit changes and 40+ retouched digital files uploaded into an online gallery where you can download, print and share from.
If you're looking for an Astoria photographer who values genuine moments over perfect poses, I'd love to hear from you.
