I’m so honored when a client hires me and then tells me, “We’ve never had professional family portraits taken” or “it’s been years since we’ve done professional portraits.” The Cannon family fell into that category, so it was pretty awesome to get some fun snaps of their family in the fun location they chose, in spite of the cold and […]
Lucas is a class of 2021 senior and baseball player at Southridge High School. He wanted an urban vibe showcasing Portland for his senior portraits. The day of his session was COLD and foggy, but the sun burned off the fog as we were shooting his session. It was super cool to have multiple backdrops and lighting changes as we […]
Lucas is a Class of 2021 senior at Newberg High School. Lucas is an avid outdoorsman, an athlete, and hard working. He wanted to have his senior session be a small reflection of the things he loves: the water, his dog, his family, and the fun urban-grunge part of his small town. Winter sessions in Oregon are always risky with […]
Jane is a Class of 2021 senior at Lincoln High School. Like every other Class of 2021 student, she had to adapt her dreams and expectations for her senior year to Portland’s COVID restricted life. She is honest about the disappointment, but still filled with joy and that big, beautiful smile. I loved being around her uplifting spirit and easy-going […]
Jordan is a class of 2021 senior at Newberg High School. I met his mom years ago at Outdoor School. We were both chaperoning for the week and got paired up as cabin moms – such a fun way to make a new friend. We’ve kept in touch over the years and it’s crazy to me that her oldest is […]

They make life look easy, even when it’s the farthest thing from easy. May the Lord continue to guide and lead […]

He is a good conversationalist, polite, thoughtful, loyal and kind. Mason works hard and looks for ways to help and serve others. His long-time girlfriend Sophia made a cameo appearance […]
This is the second time I’ve had the privilege of photographing the extended Johnson family. It’s crazy how much the kids grew and changed in a handful of years. Rain was not in the forecast for their session. And yet… we got everybody set up for the first photo and the skies unleashed. We ran for cover and contemplated our […]
This is Whitney. Isn’t she darling? We did a mini-session together this fall just because. Because 2020 has been a hard year and because stuff like this brings joy. What’s not to love about a darling kiddo smiling in the sunshine?!? Thanks for bring some sunshine and joy to my life Whitney. You’re amazing. #jodistilpphotography #minisession #portraits
