An intimate, cinematic family and maternity photoshoot by IKIGAI PRODUCTION
There are stories that speak softly, and then there are stories that breathe — in golden light, ocean mist, and unspoken connection. This was one of them.
Set against the wild, windswept beauty of Cannon Beach, Between Waves and Heartbeats is a cinematic maternity and family photoshoot that captures the tender threshold between what was and what’s to come. Alex and Halya brought with them not only the quiet anticipation of their second child, but also the bright, untamed joy of their first — a child whose laughter became the rhythm of the day.
From soft embraces in the sea breeze to raw, unscripted moments between mother and child, this shoot unfolded like a living poem. Shot entirely on location, the imagery is rich with movement, intimacy, and natural light — every frame telling a story of love in transition.
At IKIGAI PRODUCTION, we believe in visual storytelling that’s not only seen, but deeply felt. We handled the creative direction and full photography production, shaping a space where the family could simply be — unposed, uninhibited, unforgettable.
Whether you’re looking for cinematic maternity photography, a storytelling family shoot at Cannon Beach, or visual work that blends art and authenticity, this session is everything we stand for.
