Budd Family


To know the Budd family is to love them. Just ask any of their hundreds of friends. They bring fun and joy and authenticity everywhere they go.  I’ve known Abbie for years and celebrated with their family when they brought Ruby home. Abbie and John also have a beautiful love story. Their love and admiration for each other is obvious.It was […]

Menke Family


The Menke Family means so much to me and my family.  They have embraced all six of us like we are their own flesh and blood, loving us, including us, and just enriching our lives.  It was an honor to photograph Ann and Doug with their two lovely children and their families. Ann insisted that I bring my entire crew […]

You Captured Our Family Like No One Else Could


The Williams Family chose a Simple Offering – my version of a mini-session. It was perfect for the family photos they wanted.  We also took a couple of Jeremy and Tammy too since they just had a milestone anniversary. Congratulations!I can’t get over how giant those leaves were and how vibrant the color is. Enjoy your photos Williams Family. Tammy said, These are […]

You Did an Amazing Job With These


I met the Monroe Family for their photo session at a pretty neighborhood park in Beaverton.  Their son Abraham was about to celebrate his first birthday, so we took some one year portraits and some family portraits.  Isn’t he cute?  He even let me hold him while I was taking a few pictures of just his Mom and Dad.  I […]

Branden

Their land has open fields hemmed in by rolling foothills, a welcoming home with a big yard, and large wooded sections with grassy marshes where they duck hunt in the fall. It only made sense to do […]

Lawson Family

It’s perfect for families who just want a handful of images for their holiday card or to hang on their wall.The Lawson’s are good friends. It’s easy to be around them and our girls are all friends. It was fun […]

Sutherland Family


One of the perks of my job is meeting new people. The Sutherland’s were a lot of fun.  We did their photo session on their property on Chehalem Mountain.  It was a foggy, fall morning – perfect for capturing the beauty of where they live. Their home has lush gardens and a big field bordered by trees.  I had fun exploring the […]

Burch Wedding – Josh + Lindsay


I met Lindsay in the child care area at the local gym. Each morning when I dropped my kiddos off, she took care of them so I could take care of myself. When she told me she was a massage therapist, I hired her to help me get better from a chronic injury. You can NOT find a massage therapist […]
