Carter is a senior at Newberg High School. We managed to squeeze his session in just before the yearbook deadline. It was a chilly but beautiful morning. The Simple Offering is a great option for my senior guys. They can be done in thirty minutes and they still get a minimum of five digital images to call their own. Have […]
Tyler is the captain of Newberg High School’s water polo team, leading his team to three consecutive Oregon 6A state championships. He’s also the best 6A water polo in the state of Oregon… voted MVP in the state two years in a row. Oh and did I mention that he’s one of Newberg High School’s fastest swimmers? I’m happy to sing his […]
It’s a rare winter that the Willamette Valley gets enough snow that it accumulates enough to cover the grass and cold enough that it sticks around for a few days. This winter the valley got blasted by five separate storms over the course of a couple of weeks. The result? We got snow that stuck for days, beautiful sunshine, blue skies, and […]
McKenna’s “little” brother has been good friends with my son since we moved to Newberg more than eight years ago. The family resemblance is strong! I’m so used to relating to McKenna’s family via Raleigh and water polo that it was strange and super fun to spend time with McKenna and her mom doing something unrelated to water polo. McKenna […]
I met Gracie the summer before her 7th grade year. It’s crazy to me that she’s a senior now and about to launch into adulthood. Isn’t she lovely? We got so lucky with the weather for her senior session. It was cold, but sunny and so beautiful for a winter day in Oregon. Gracie didn’t complain about the cold and […]
I met Erin years ago when she worked at the gym in the childcare area. When she got engaged to Nick she asked me to shoot her engagement photos. I then had the privilege of photographing their wedding. It was with great joy that I agreed to do another photo session documenting a big event for them: a maternity session for their […]
This fall I photographed the Cheung family for the third time. Each time we’ve hit snags actually getting to the photo session: weather and illness have sidelined us multiple times and this session was no exception. It was worth it to wait for decent weather and healthy kids though because their photos are some of my favorites from the fall […]
Photographing my friends is one of my favorite perks of my job. I was so excited when the Zielsdorf’s hired me to take their family photos, but the weather was uncooperative. It rained and rained in the first part of the week, then got really cold and snowed – a rare occasion in the Willamette Valley. The morning of the session […]
The weather the week leading up to the W family photo session was bad. Rain and rain and rain. Then a rare snow shower in the valley that shut down schools and roads because it was followed by freezing rain. Oregonians – at least those that live in the Willamette Valley – don’t know how to do snow. The morning of their […]
I met the Chinwuba’s on a moody fall Saturday for their photo session at Champoeg State Park. The weather was a perfect fit for the bittersweet occasion. Family photos just didn’t seem right without Osi. Osi’s absence was deeply felt. We all cried big tears. Pulled ourselves together, then had fun. I would venture to guess our session moodiness is […]
