We took our dog to the Washburne beach outside of Florence, Oregon. It’s one of several little beach access areas dotted along Highway 101 on the Oregon coast and it was absolutely beautiful. You can’t go wrong picking any one of them!

We took an amazing trip to Newport thanks to our dear friends who put us up for the night! I grew up on the Oregon Coast so it feels like a part of my soul, and I love to visit whenever I can. This ended up being an amazing sunny weekend filled with a ton of wandering, photography, coffee, and good times with friends. What else could you ever wish for?

We headed to Bend, Oregon for its famous Mountain Observatory. 

We are at the wildlife safari in Oregon. 

We headed to Florence, Oregon, for a weekend. A beautiful dog-friendly house to stay in, and we honored our mom's death.

This beach never looks the same. Sometimes, it seems super foggy, but it is super sunny/rainy the next hour or so. If you are a photographer trying to take lifestyle photos, North Jetty is a very family-friendly good place to do that. :) (Parking is also free!)
