Several years ago, we started a tradition of photographing a group of kids — friends of my daughter, friends of the family — on a yearly trip to the Oregon Coast. The first group of kids all happened to be blue-eyed and blonde-haired so we affectionately tagged them “The Fabulous Blondies.”

Years have passed, kids have become adults, new people have joined and others have departed (and some of them aren’t so blonde anymore) but the spirit of the Fabulous Blondies remains.

As we prepare for Beach 2022 — where we photograph other kids, as well — we offer this collection of pictures from last year’s sessions with Amelia Anderson, Carson Verity and Hannah Loyd (aka “Blondies ‘21”). Some have already appeared on our Instagram; some have never been released.

Enjoy!
