North Coast Village Vacation {Oceanside Beach Family Photography}

As an Oceanside native, I have a lot of favorite places in Oceanside and North Coast Village is one of them! North Coast Village is such a beautiful place for a family vacation. It’s right on the beach with pools available and gorgeous tropical Landscaping. This makes North Coast Village the perfect place for a family portrait session when you are on vacation! I usually start the session walking around the resort and then we finished on the sand. I love the beach right in front of North Coast Village because it a lot more quiet and less crowded than most beaches in the area. Here are a few of my favorite photos from this beautiful family portrait session on the water!

There’s something so special about gathering multiple generations together on the beach. ✨ Parents, grandparents, kids, cousins—all in one place, enjoying the ocean breeze and each other.

Extended family sessions aren’t just about photos; they’re about capturing the love that spans decades. These are the kinds of moments that deserve to be preserved, not just for today but for years from now when the littles are grown.

Tomorrow I’ll share what makes extended family sessions so much fun (and why they’re one of my favorite things to photograph). 🌊 (2/3 coming next!)

There’s something about that first time your baby wraps their fingers around yours.
It’s instinct, sure—but it’s also connection.
A silent little promise: I know you. I trust you. I’m safe here.
They won’t remember this moment, but you will.
And years from now, you’ll look at this photo and remember exactly how it felt.
That’s the power of something so small.

Not trying to be dramatic- just honest. This season flies.
