Natural Beauty by the Sea: Stella’s Coastal Senior Session in Lincoln City By Carly Carlson
Photographed by Carly Carlson, this dreamy Oregon Coast session captures the effortless connection between Stella and the rugged beauty of Lincoln City. With soft overcast light and the gentle tones of sand, sea, and grass, this session perfectly reflects Stella’s wish for something natural and organic — a celebration of her authentic self in a place she loves most.
Carly embraced the moody, textured tones of the Pacific Northwest coast to create a session that feels both calm and adventurous. The muted palette of Stella’s wardrobe — denim blues, a rose-hued jacket, and an olive beanie — echoed the earthy tones of the cliffs and sea grass. Each image feels grounded and real, letting Stella’s quiet confidence and joyful spirit shine through.
From cozy moments on the driftwood to barefoot laughs in the sand, this session is the perfect example of why overcast days are secretly every photographer’s dream: soft light, natural tones, and pure emotion.
