Mary Kay is one of my Haiti “Sistas.” Mary Kay is brimming over with godly wisdom and she spills joy and laughter everywhere she goes. She is generous and kind. Thoughtful. […]

The Choi family wanted their family photo session to be in a lavender field, reminiscent of their recent trip to France. The Oregon lavender blossomed quickly this year so we had a hard time finding a field that hadn’t been harvested yet.

In May I had the privilege of working with Bryan Rupp as a second shooter at Stefania and Ryan’s wedding. I learned so much from watching Bryan work and am excited to share some of the images I took. Stefania and Ryan are from Detroit and have large families. They love food and wine so they opted for a planned elopement […]

Every time we hang out, I leave our time together with a heart overflowing with gratitude for her friendship. Her fragrance of joy lingers for […]

Sandra was one of my first friends when we moved to Newberg. Our now middle-school aged daughters were attending four-year-old pre-school together and we met in the pick up line. Sandra is steadfast and determined. She puts her mind to something and sees it through to completion. In the years we’ve been friends she has gone back to college and […]

Last week I had the chance to meet up with the Farmer family again – this time to do a maternity photo session for Son […]
