Brittany + Alex ā¤ļø

Getting to photograph my bestie and the man she gets to do life with was one of those sessions that just meant a little extra to me.

We had theeee prettiest golden hour, spent most of the evening laughing, and Alex gave us the classic ā€œokay but what do I do with my hands?ā€ šŸ˜‚ Don’t worry, that’s what I’m here for haha. šŸ˜‰

More than anything, this session just made me so thankful.. Thankful that Britt found someone who loves her the way Alex does. Someone who makes her laugh, stands beside her, grows with her, pushes her to be all she can be and chooses her through all the different seasons life throws their way.

When you love your friends, you want so badly for them to find the kind of love that feels safe, steady, fun, and real. The kind that can handle the hard days just as much as it celebrates the good ones and that’s what I see when I look at these two. 🄹

Their love isn’t just in the big moments. It’s in the little teasing, the laughs, the glances, the comfort, and the way they just so naturally fit together.

I’m so thankful my bestie found her person. šŸ„¹ā¤ļø And I'm so thankful I got to capture a little piece of their love story for their anniversary.

Lisa reached out while she and Eric were visiting Cannon Beach with the sweetest little surprise, a couples session for Eric. ā¤ļø

& the best part? She told me that having her picture taken is not exactly her favorite thing which just made it that much more fun to show her how easy it can actually feel. 🄰

We spent the evening laughing, moving, playing around, and soaking up the beach together, and these two absolutely crushed it. šŸ˜

That’s one of my favorite parts of what I do. You do not need to know how to pose, where to put your hands, or what you’re supposed to be doing in front of the camera. That’s my job. I’ll guide you through it, keep things moving, and make sure it feels a whole lot more like hanging out together than standing around awkwardly taking pictures. ā¤ļø

So if you’re visiting Cannon Beach, Seaside, Astoria, or the Oregon Coast and you’ve been thinking about getting updated photos together… consider this your sign to DM me. šŸ˜‰

It’s the tiniest details that disappear the fastest. šŸ„¹šŸ¤

The little toes. The sleepy lips. The swirl of brand new hair. Those tiny fingers wrapped around yours. Even those perfect little ears that somehow you’ll swear you remember forever… until one day you realize they aren’t quite that little anymore.

When mama reached out for her newborn session, one thing she knew she wanted was the DETAILS.. and lots of them. And I understood the assignment. 🄹

Of course I love creating those beautiful posed newborn portraits, but these close up images are some of my absolute favorites because this is what changes so quickly. These are the pieces of your baby you’ll want to remember exactly as they were.

If you’re the mama who wants an entire gallery full of tiny toes, eyelashes, lips, fingers, hair swirls and every other perfect little detail… I’m your girl. šŸ¤

As a newborn photographer based in Knappa, Oregon, I photograph families throughout Astoria, Seaside, Warrenton, Knappa, Clatsop County and Columbia County, with both posed and lifestyle newborn photography available in my Knappa newborn studio.

Now booking newborn sessions for Astoria, Seaside, Warrenton, Knappa & surrounding Oregon Coast families.

I quickly became OBSESSED with Kannon the second he came out of that car. 🄹🄰 I mean… LOOK AT ALL THAT HAIR. 😭

And then he somehow managed to be just as sweet as he is adorable.

We went into his session with very realistic expectations.. hopefully we’d get some beautiful lifestyle images and, if he was feeling it, maybe a styled pose or two.

Kannon apparently heard that and said, ā€œBet. Watch this.ā€ šŸ˜‚

This little man came prepared to OVERACHIEVE. He slept, he posed, he let me move him from setup to setup, and then he even gave us FROGGY. šŸ˜­šŸ™ŒšŸ¼

Froggy is one of the more advanced newborn poses and one I will never force. It requires 2-3 people and hands on assistance, proper safety measures, and most importantly, a baby who is completely comfortable and willing to do it. Because of that, it isn’t a pose I promise or even attempt with every baby.

Kannon made us work for it a little bit. šŸ˜‚ We tried, he wasn’t quite feeling it, so we moved on to other setups and let him lead the session. Then later he was basically like, ā€œAlright lady, let’s finish what we started.ā€

And LOOK AT HIM. 🄹

This is exactly why I love letting babies lead their sessions. Sometimes the pose you hoped for happens immediately, sometimes we circle back, and sometimes baby says absolutely not and all three are perfectly okay. Their comfort and safety will always come before getting a specific image.

But this little overachiever? Total angel from beginning to end. šŸ¤

I’m just sitting here awwwwing over his gallery and feeling incredibly grateful that THIS is my job. My days are filled with tiny toes, baby snuggles, and getting to freeze these precious little details that change way too quickly.

What an absolute blessing it is to be trusted with such a fleeting chapter of their family’s story. šŸ„¹šŸ¤

Yesterday I welcomed our very first in studio newborn session in Knappa. šŸ¤

This sweet little guy decided to make his arrival a bit early, which meant a last minute scramble to finish painting, move furniture, hang things up, and pray it all came together in time for me..

And somehow, it did. It always does šŸ¤

He was absolutely perfect. Sleepy, content, and completely unbothered by all of us as he snuggled into every pose that didn't involve his belly haha. We even got to incorporate Dad’s Coast Guard flight helmet and other items, which made the session even more meaningful for their family.

As I sat there photographing him, I found myself reflecting on how much has changed in just a few short years.

Not because of anything special that happened in that moment, but because moments like that used to feel so far away. 🄹 When I made the decision to move to the Oregon Coast, I was excited, but I was also absolutely terrified. I was leaving behind years of relationships, clients who had become friends, and a business I had spent years building. I was walking away from everything familiar and starting over in a place where I knew no one but my parents and siblings. There were so many moments I wondered if I’d ever rebuild what I had left behind.

Yet yesterday, I stood in my home studio that once existed only in my imagination, photographing a beautiful newborn who found his way to me because of a recommendation from a friend who was once a client and became and incredible friend

Every session, every referral, every friendship, every family who shares my name with someone else has been a piece of the foundation that made this all possible.

This little boy will never know it, but his session became a reminder for me.

A reminder of God’s faithfulness.

A reminder that sometimes the things we’re most afraid of are the very places where blessings begin to grow.

A reminder that this business has never really been about photos.

It’s about people. Their stories. Their trust. Their memories. The bonds built. What an incredible honor it is that so many families continue to choose me to tell them.
Today my heart is just full.
Thank you for supporting my dream šŸ¤

It’s kind of crazy to think that I’ve been photographing Kai since before he was even born. ā¤ļøšŸ„¹

From maternity photos to newborn snuggles, milestones, and now watching him walk around with so much personality, it’s been so much fun getting to document each stage of his life. Looking back at where we started compared to where we are now is such a reminder of just how quickly these little years fly by. šŸ˜­šŸ„¹ā¤ļø

Jitmala family, thank you so much for trusting me to capture so many of your family’s memories and milestones over the years. There is something incredibly special about getting to tell a family’s story. Watching your family grow has been such an honor, and I truly appreciate that you’ve continued to invite me back to capture it all. ā¤ļø

Thank you for always making me feel so welcomed. I can’t wait to see what we get to capture next. ā¤ļøšŸ„°

✨ Class of 2027 Spotlight ✨

Meet Lily, one of our amazing Class of 2027 seniors from Warrenton High School! šŸ’œšŸ–¤

Lily is a dedicated Warrenton High School cheerleader who also spent years pursuing dance, and that grace, discipline, and confidence shine through in everything she does.

One of our favorite things about getting to know Lily is hearing about her dreams for the future. After graduation, she hopes to head off to college to earn a degree in business, and we have no doubt she’ll accomplish incredible things.

Congratulations, Lily! Thank you for trusting Tibbitts Photography to capture this exciting season of your life. We can’t wait to see where your journey takes you. Here’s to an unforgettable senior year and an even brighter future! šŸŽ“āœØ

Funny how something as small as "someone you may know" can completely change your life.

Neither of them could’ve known that one random suggestion would eventually lead to this. 🄹

A courthouse said they were legally married.

But the Oregon Coast?... This is where they slowed down, soaked it all in, and celebrated the beginning of their forever… just the two of them. šŸ¤

Every session has a little something special for me..

For the first time ever, I got to sign as a witness after their ceremony. Such a sweet simple moment, but one I’ll never forget.

People ask me all the time what makes my sessions different. It’s this.

My clients aren’t just names on my calendar. They become my people. We spend hours together. We laugh, we cry, tell stories, chase sunsets, get windswept by the coast, we enjoy the chaos, we take time to slow down and somewhere along the way, we build friendships.

Photography isn’t just about beautiful photos to me. It’s about preserving a feeling. It’s about documenting your story exactly as it happened, so years from now you can remember not only what it looked like… but most importantly what it felt like so you can come back and feel that same warmth in your heart.

To Mr & Mrs McDonald, thank you for trusting me with your story. It was an honor to celebrate your love, witness this chapter, and capture memories you’ll have forever. ā¤ļø

Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Munoz! šŸ¤

From the quiet, emotional moments to the laughter and happy tears, it was an honor to document the beginning of your next beautiful chapter together.

Your wedding day was a beautiful reminder that love isn’t about perfection. It’s about choosing each other, every single day.

Thank you for trusting me with these memories. Wishing you both a lifetime of adventures, endless laughter, and a love that only grows stronger with each passing year.

Also wanted to say another thank you to my dear friends the Scroup's for the recommendation and getting us connected. I couldn't do what I do without people like you. It's the heart of my business and it means the absolute world when my people trust me with their people šŸ„¹šŸ¤
