SEAL ROCK BEACH & RECREATION SITE

Seal Rock Recreation Site, often called Seal Rock Beach, is one of the most picturesque locations along the Oregon Coast. Located near Newport, Oregon, this breathtaking spot is renowned for its rugged rock formations, playful seals, vibrant seagulls, and mesmerizing tidal pools. A winding path through coastal trees leads you to the serene beach, offering the perfect backdrop for intimate and memorable photoshoots.

When planning Chelsea and Nick’s maternity session, I scoured Google Earth for the best beaches on the Oregon Coast. Seal Rock Beach immediately stood out for its dramatic beauty, unique features, and the dreamy glow it offers during golden hour.

WHY SEAL ROCK BEACH IS PERFECT FOR A MATERNITY SESSION

The expansive shoreline, soft sunsets, and iconic rock formations create a stunning canvas for capturing love and connection.

Seal Rock Beach is ideal for couples looking to embrace the wild beauty of Oregon’s coast while avoiding overcrowded tourist spots. Its secluded nature allows for intimate moments and dynamic shots, whether you’re capturing movement along the tide or still moments with the sunset as a backdrop.

Chelsea & Nick

Chelsea and Nick, a California-based couple, decided that an Oregon Coast maternity session was the perfect way to celebrate this chapter of their lives. With Seal Rock Beach’s dramatic scenery as the backdrop, their session was nothing short of magical.

As the sun began to set, the beach came alive with warm, golden hues, perfectly complementing the couple’s thoughtfully chosen outfits. Their wardrobe reflected their personalities and blended beautifully with the coastal tones, adding an extra layer of depth to their photos.

One of the most important things I strive for in maternity photography is to keep it authentic. Chelsea and Nick’s session was no exception. Their photos feel like a natural extension of their love story—filled with laughter, connection, and genuine joy.
