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!

Six months. That in-between place.

Still tiny, but suddenly sitting up.
Still baby, but full of personality.
These sessions are quiet little time capsules—
before the crawling, before the running,
before they’re off to chase the world.

Big smile. Little boots.
The kind of joy you don’t have to pose.

She wasn’t trying to be anything but herself—
and that’s exactly what makes this magic.

Because “sit still and smile” is not in their vocabulary⁠
⁠
And honestly? I wouldn’t want it to be.⁠
⁠
The laughter mid-air, the tiny toes kicking, the wild beach breeze—that’s the magic.⁠
⁠
These aren’t just photos of your kids behaving… they’re memories of them being.⁠
⁠
Because years from now, you won’t miss the perfectly posed moments—you’ll miss this. The sound of their giggle. The weight of them in your arms. The way they lit up when you played airplane.⁠
⁠
Let’s capture that.⁠

Changing every day, in every possible way.
That’s the thing about childhood—it doesn’t wait.
One moment they’re clinging to your hand, the next they’re sprinting ahead.
You won’t remember every snack meltdown or muddy shoe…
But this?
This is what you’ll hold on to.
