I just returned from a business trip to Oregon. If you’ve never been there, let me tell you – Oregon is absolutely gorgeous and offers endless photo opportunities. Each morning I made a short commute from my hotel and drove passed this beautiful stretch of beach near the town of Garibaldi.

One morning I got up extra early, grabbed some coffee and explored this incredible section of isolated beach near the town of Tillamook. I spent about an hour hiking and taking photographs. It was peaceful, beautiful and inspiring. There’s always something great about taking photographs in new surroundings. Unfortunately, my time in Oregon flew by way too quickly and I soon found myself on a plane headed back to Los Angeles. A few days after returning home, I looked through the images I had taken in Oregon and found these to be some of my favorites. One way or another, I’m going back to Oregon to shoot more images of the stunning landscapes of the Pacific Northwest.
