It was great to reconnect with the Byars family after a couple of years apart. Jonah is now a senior at Lincoln High School so we did a family mini-session and then Jonah and I took off to shoot his senior portrait session. We had a beautiful fall morning to work with and Portland was showing off! Thank you Byars […]
Elsa is a Class of 2023 senior at Oregon Episcopal School. Years ago she was on a park and rec soccer team with my daughter.

Madison is a Class of 2023 senior at Newberg High School. I’ve known Madison since she was in elementary school playing soccer with my daughters.

Well spoken. Kind. […]

Teachers: Unappreciated. Underpaid. Influencers. World Changers. A gift from God. We all can tell stories with specific details of how a teacher or a coach impacted our lives. Jessica Hawney is one of the greatest teachers we’ve met. Jessica SEES greatness in kids. She SEES past their imperfections, past their road blocks, past their resistance to WHO they actually are […]
