Welcome Baby Girl


What a difference a year makes!  Last year, this sweet family vacationed at the Oregon Coast and hired me to take maternity-family portraits.  This year they were back.  Vacationing in the same spot, but this time with their darling baby girl.  They said they did the “no rain dance” and it worked because gray, rainy days gave way to a […]

Juliette


Juliette is a Class of 2022 senior at Lake Oswego High School.  Isn’t she stunning?  Juliette is good friends with my daughter so I’ve had the best time hanging out with her this summer.  I was so honored when she asked me to take her senior portraits.  She wanted a non-complicated, simple, outdoor session that included a golden field to […]

The Other Side of the Extended Family


This summer I had the unique opportunity to photograph BOTH sides of Mark and Sarah’s extended family groups.  Mark’s family was in town visiting in July.  Sarah’s out-of-town family was visiting in August.  It was such a joy to meet ALL their family and celebrate with them in how richly blessed they are.  Such great groups of people!  Here’s Sarah’s […]

Faith


Faith is a Class of 2022 senior at Veritas High School.  She loves theatre and choir and hopes to pursue an education to become a teacher.  Faith’s mom and I were in MOPS together with our girls were in pre-school so it was super fun to get reacquainted and be asked to take her senior portraits.  We did some urban […]

Jordan


I met Jordan when she was 4 years old.  Her mom Milly and I were both in the 4 year old preschool line, anxious about dropping our babies off at school for the first time, and we struck up a conversation.  Before we knew it, coffee dates and play dates became part of families’ routines. Our friendship has spanned 14 […]

Kati


Kati is a Class of 2022 senior at Yamhill Carlton High School. Everything she does, she does with excellence. A highly decorated athlete, Kati plays soccer, basketball and softball.  Her softball skills have earned her a slew of All League and All State honors and she still has a year of high school left.  Kati is also a member of […]

Oliver Springs Vineyard


Stephanie and Jim own Oliver Springs Vineyard in Newberg.  I got to take photos of them in their vineyard with their wine AND their fur babies.  We had beautiful light, beautiful people, beautiful dogs, and delicious wine.  What’s not to love?  If you’re in Newberg/Dundee and want to taste some incredible wine, give them a call to set up a […]

Emily


I have know Emily since she was a 4 year old preschool classmate with my daughter.  I can’t even wrap my head around the fact that they are all seniors this year.  Emily is kind and sweet.  She loves theatre and is a talented musician.  She plays the trumpet and the piano, and sings in the choir.  We shot her […]

The Morris Crew


I had the privilege of photographing Drew for his senior photos last summer.  Now he’s about to head off to college (All The Feels) and so I got to meet the rest of his family during a pre-leaving-for-college family photo session.  What a great crew they are!  Thanks for trusting me with your family portraits.  I pray God leads your […]

The Duggan’s


For years the Duggan’s lived on the same cul de sac as us, and then they moved out to the country.  It’s been fun to stay in touch with random sightings at the store or if one of my kids gets Derek as their teacher.  They are such a great family… solid, down to earth people raising good humans and […]
