When your backyard is a garden oasis with intentionally curated spaces of beauty and relaxation you shoot your family photo session THERE. This is the second time the DeMaster Smith family has invited me into their beautiful space to photograph their family. Each time I’m in awe of how tranquil and lovely it is.. a true act of love and […]
Shae Ferguson is a Licensed Professional Counselor. She needed updated headshots. We went back and forth on if we should shoot the session with a more formal vibe in her office or if we should go for a more relaxed vibe on her property in the country. Ultimately we chose the relaxed vibe and I’m so glad we did. Shae […]
Fianna was my first Class of 2026 senior for the season and man did she set the bar high. She wore a dress she made herself. Like followed a pattern and sewed it. It was STUNNING and so detailed. She’s a dancer so she wore her pointe shoes and gave me a little lesson on how they work, how they […]
Audrey, Class of 2025, graduated last week as Salutatorian of her class at Newberg High School. I got to shoot her senior photo session in the summer before her her senior year so it was loads of fun to bookend her year with a cap and gown session celebrating her accomplishments and finding out her plan for the future. Audrey […]
Peyton is a Class of 2025 graduate from Oregon State University. While earning her Bachelor’s degree she also served our country in the Air National Guard and still managed to find time for sorority life. This photo session was special because Peyton and I worked together for her high school senior portraits. It’s hard to believe she’s already graduating from […]

We chatted through different options and settled on me staying on the ground but traveling with the chase crew to pick up John, JNae, their pilot and their […]
Several years ago I photographed the innkeeper and her staff at Chehalem Ridge Bed & Breakfast. It’s a stunning home tucked on the edge of a mountain top overlooking Newberg and the valley… so peaceful and beautiful. It was special to be invited back to update the photos and include the new staff. Everyone chose a prop that represents something […]

He’s graduating with a perfect 4.00 GPA and an honors diploma which qualifies him to be a class Valedictorian… a massive accomplishment and one that takes incredible determination, discipline and intellect to accomplish. Congratulations Jack! Jack will continue his education at BYU in the fall and plans to study […]
Elizabeth is a Class of 2025 graduate from Sherwood High School. She decided midway through this school year that instead of using her senior year next year to take electives she would graduate early and kick start her college career and next chapter of life. She and I met up on a lovely early summer evening for a quick photo […]
The Specter’s were some of my OG clients… hiring me my first year out when I was building a portfolio and doing student pricing. More than 12 sessions later, I’m honored to still be their person for all things portrait related. They own Bells Up Winery and we typically photograph them in their vineyard, but this year we went all […]
