I love it when my clients introduce me to more and more of their extended family. I’ve been friends with Jenny and Nathan for years and been taking their photos for a few years. Last year Jenny hired me to do extended family photos with her side of the family. This fall it was Nathan’s family’s turn. We shot the […]
Ah this Wolf family. They just make me happy. We’ve done three sessions together over the past five years and every session has been at a different family farm, all on the same road. I love how ingrained their family is in their community and all the years they have given to farming and hard work. Plus their kids are […]
Zach is a four time Oregon 6A water polo state champion. This year, as one of the co-captains of the team, he led his team to a 35-1 season and a fifth consecutive state title for Newberg High School. He also earned first team all league and first team all state honors. Zach plays hard and with big emotion. In […]
Kelly was one of my first friends in Newberg. Ten years ago we moved from the Chicago area and rented a house – sight unseen – in Newberg. We were hard to miss with four little and loud kids, ranging in age from 2 to 7 years – and not a friend in sight. Kelly lived down the street with […]
Maddie is a senior at Newberg High School and YES, that is 100% her natural hair color. Isn’t she beautiful? We had so much fun exploring the south waterfront in Portland and dodging rain showers for her session on a typical fall day in Oregon. Maddie loves to read and had some fun ideas to incorporate this passion into her […]
Oh these Varuska’s. They are some of my favorites, but don’t tell anyone. They hired me SUPER new into my career to photograph their family when their twins were turning one and it’s become an annual tradition. Watching my clients’ children grow up is so fun. Aren’t they the cutest ever? Have a great year Varuska family. I hope to […]
Dane has been a constant in our family’s story since we moved to Newberg. For more of the back story of how Dane and my son Grant became friends read this gem of a blog post that I just unearthed. I NEVER could have guessed the friendship story God would write between our boys over the next ten years. They […]
The Guidry’s are Our People. We’ve only known them for six years, but our friendship was fast and immediate. Cyndi and I went deep on our first lunch date and have been close friends ever since. Our husbands also had an instant connection. Then they moved to Newberg and were a mere two miles from our house. ALL THE PRAISE […]
Oh my gosh Wils… How is it possible that this post is about your senior portraits? Pass the Kleenex!!!! I remember when you started playing water polo in 6th grade. Baseball had been your life, but you made the switch to the pool and you had a wicked shot. Grant was in the cage, and even though he was a […]
The Luthers have been our neighbors for ten years. An entire decade. Where does the time go?!?! Layla and I really got to know each other when I joined her Cascade Lakes Relay team. We raced together for two (or was it three?) years and had so much fun together. Layla is one of the kindest women I know. She’s […]
