Horsford Family


The Horsford’s chose a Simple Offering.  It’s my version of a mini-session: a thirty minute session and five high resolution digital images you choose from a private online photo gallery. Kelly knew just what she wanted and we were able to nail it all with five images: a head shot to use for her growing business, pictures of their beautiful girls and a family […]

Chey


Chey moved from New York to Oregon the summer before her senior year of high school.  How brave is that?  She’s finishing her high school career at Sprague High School and already making a bunch of friends.  It was such a pleasure to meet her and her mom.  She chose Champoeg State Park for the session location because she loves […]

Nate


Nate is a senior at Newberg High School.  He didn’t want a big, long senior session, but he did want some cool senior portraits.  The Simple Offering was perfect for him.  We did a quick 30 minute photo session.  He had enough time to change once and still use several different backgrounds.  His five images capture who he is and tell his […]

Josie and Paula


Paula and I have been acquaintances for year and close friends for almost two years.  It sounds silly on paper.  Only two years? Cause it feels like a lifetime.  In those two years we have worked together. Played together.  Run together. Hiked together.  Worked through disagreements together. Shared our joys and sorrows with each other. Cried together.  Prayed together.  Celebrated together. In two […]

the Simmon’s


I met Carrie at the gym when we first moved to Newberg.  You know when you’re “new” somewhere it feels like EVERYONE knows each other except you?  I felt that way at the gym, but Carrie and her friend Michele said “Hi” to me.  They smiled. Made conversation.  They helped me not feel like such a newbie.  That was years ago. […]

the Nanson’s


Another year… another photo session with the Nanson’s.  It’s crazy to me to see how much their girls have grown and changed in the four years that I’ve been taking their family photos.  Aren’t they adorable? We chose Bells Up Winery as the location for their family photo session.  Sara and Dave, the owners of Bells Up, are clients of mine […]

Kaleigh


Kaleigh is a delightful and fun senior (and volleyball player) at McMinnville High School. We had a bright, sunshiny morning for her senior session.  We travelled to three different local vineyards to complete her senior photo session and had a ton of fun along the way. May God bless you in your senior year and beyond Kaleigh. #seniorportraits #tellyourstory #mcminnvillehighschool […]

Travis Family


The Travis Family won their photo session at a fundraiser for Visible Grace, a non profit organization whose mission is to “help children break the chains of poverty by caring for them physically, mentally and spiritually. We do this by providing education and a safe, loving home for them. We have a wonderful staff of people who care for the kids and […]

the Miller’s


I got to photograph the Miller twins as newborns.  Look how much they’ve grown?  Happy birthday sweet babies.  You are so much fun and way too cute. Thank you Nicole and Ron for choosing me to help you document your family as your children grow.  Congrats on making it through the first year with twins too.  That is no easy […]

The Lindell’s


The Lindell’s are such a great family. Kendra is warm and hospitable; Nate is quiet and attentive.  And look at those darling twins! It has been my privilege to be invited out to their home in the country the past two years to photograph their family.  Thank you for another fun morning.  I’m already looking forward to next year. #family #familyportraits #farmlife […]
