Ocean & Beaches

All in the Perspective

Looking at this view at first glance in this photo, it might seem like those rocks aren't too far off from where I stood when capturing this photo. However...if you look a little closer, just in the lower left area of that green grass, there's a bench. Seeing that bench really puts in to perspective how vast this area is, and how far back I really am when capturing this moment. It wasn't a stellar sunset moment, or a brilliant morning sunglow. But it was a gorgeous moment, where the sun played off the waves, the sounds of the water crashed against the rocks, and it made for a perfect moment none the less. Cape Perpetua, Oregon.

Just Another Day

Just another day on the coast. Waves crashing along the shoreline. While this happens all day every day, every wave is unique and no two are the same. That's one of my favorite things about the ocean and the crashing waves along any shoreline. This beautiful spot is located along the Oregon coast.

Cannon Beach, Oregon at sunset and low tide is quite the site. During low tide you get the chance to walk up close to Haystack Rock and all its gorgeous surroundings. Tide pools, starfish, birds, and more! Although hide tide is a favorite of mine, there's nothing like low tide to be able to walk around these rocks that are normally well under water.

Rolling waves - coming in to the shore in Yachats, Oregon.

I could sit here and watch a sunset like this forever. Soaking in every feeling and thoughts that comes with viewing a magnificent display by mother nature.

Waves crashing against the rocky shoreline of Depoe Bay, Oregon.

Tide Coming In

As the sun sets, the tide is slowly coming in here on this rocky shoreline. The water is mesmerizing as it falls off of the rocks after each wave. Not the most colorful sunset ever seen, but it was gorgeous nonetheless. Yachats, Oregon.

Fresh Start

Churning waves coming ashore along the Oregon Coast.

Into the Rocks

The sound, the smell, the feel of that mist in your air as you sit on the ledge with these waves crashing at your feet.... a feeling that just cleanses the mind and brings peace to my soul.

Alone in the Ocean

These haystacks along the Oregon Coast are simply mesmerizing to me! The amount of wildlife that utilize them in their environment, to just the sheer vastness of them rising above the ocean waves. Truly a site to see.

Perfect Timing

Sometimes finding that perfect sunset shot takes the perfect timing. We had headed down the coast further south originally planning to stay for sunset at a new location. As that didn't pan out, we regrouped with just 45 minutes to spare. That spontonaeouty brought us here... and it was one magnificent sunset just standing on this beach, soaking up the last of the daylight this world had to offer us.

Crashing Into Your Soul

The sound of the crashing waves shakes you to your core. Near Yachats, Oregon. A beautiful day in October, fall temperatures in the air, whale watching season in full swing, it's a magical place.
