The Gift of Surrogacy


I know Kamren from years ago when we both worked out at the same gym.  She moved just far enough out of town that we lost touch of each other so I was thrilled when she called to schedule family photos and… (wait for it)… maternity photos for the family she a gestational carrier for!  Kamren is a mom of […]

the Banke Family


The Banke Family is the coolest.  The whole family gives off a super chill and laid back vibe. It was freezing the morning of their session and no one – including the baby – was phased by any of it.  Alex and Hailey are awesome and helpful older siblings.  Everett and Lucy are the cutest set of Littles ever.  And […]

Ava


Ava is a Class of 2022 senior at Westside Christian High School.  Ava wanted an urban setting for her senior portraits. She also wanted non-traditional images – ones shot at different angles and from more trendy perspectives.  We traipsed all over Portland looking for cool spots that matched her vibe and her outfits.  It was such a fun way to […]

Jacob


Jacob is a Class of 2022 senior at Newberg High School.  He plays basketball and likes to hang out with his friends.  Our original plan for Jacob’s photo session was to go out to Champoeg State Park so we could get some rustic/woods photos, but it was raining non-stop the entire week of Jacob’s photo session with the exception of […]

the Farmer’s


The Farmer’s were some of OG clients.  One of their childhood friends took a chance on me and hired me at student pricing while I was building my portfolio and deciding if I was any good at portraits.  They passed my name on to their friend group and several of them hired me.  The best part of this – beside […]

Annabelle


Annabelle is a Class of 2022 senior at Newberg High School.  She is the goalie for Newberg’s water polo team and the girls just won 5th place at state.  Well done!  Annabelle had all sorts of fun ideas for her senior portraits and we somehow managed to incorporate them all: water polo, her Volkswagen bug, some sort of water for […]

Heaven


Heaven is a Class of 2022 senior at Newberg High School.  I remember chaperoning kindergarten field trips that Heaven was on so it was really fun to reconnect with her after several years of not seeing her.  What a gem she is!  This girl is joy-filled – bubbling over to everyone around her – in spite of dealing with some […]

Jacie + Aaron


Oh my gosh!  I got to photograph ANOTHER proposal, exactly a month after the first one I’ve ever done.  Even more ironic, the couple ended up getting engaged in the exact same location!  Meet Aaron and Jacie.  They’ve been dating for over three years and Aaron was ready to propose.  He knew Jacie would want her family there and was […]

Lauren + Michael


When Michael contacted me and asked me to to photograph his proposal to Lauren I almost said no. I’ve never photographed a proposal before and I got all sorts of nervous.  What if I screwed it up?  It’s not like I can go back and ask for a re-do.  And I also don’t get many opportunities to photograph newly-in-love couples. […]

Hayden


Hayden is a Class of 2022 senior.  Hayden is so polite and easy to be around.  A good conversationalist and excellent with people, he opted to finish the second half of his high school online.  He’ll graduate early and begin pursuing a career in real estate/construction/property management.  It’s so refreshing to meet a young adult that is hard working and […]
