Scriven and Booth


It sure was fun to meet Emily and Matt Booth and Emily’s dad, Dave Scriven, for a photo shoot on Portland’s south waterfront.  They are such a fun group to work with. I’ve got to believe their real estate customers just love them for their warm personalities, their joy, and their intellect.  They know how to get stuff done. It was a cold […]

the A Family


We shot the A family’s photo session between rain showers on a moody Saturday.  Thankfully the location was their lovely backyard so they ducked inside as needed when it would start sprinkling.  Thank you A family for your willingness to roll with the weather. Happy holidays! #winter #family #brick #backyards

Jenny and Nathan


We met Nathan eight years ago when he was volunteering in the two year old classroom at our church.  We appreciated his faithful service, gentle demeanor, and welcoming smile, especially on the Sundays when our reluctant, often tearful two-year-old would cling a little longer before heading into class. I remember when Nathan met Jenny.  His already bright countenance got even brighter.  He […]

the Farmer’s


The Farmer’s were some of my first clients when I was just getting my business started which makes them extra special.  Plus they are straight up awesome.  Their boys are busy and fun, giggly and mischievous, and obviously adorable.  So basically, they are irresistible.  Thank you Kara and Brock for another fun session.  It is so fun for me to […]

the Frey’s


Another year. Another family photo session with the Frey’s.  It warms my heart that I get to be their photographer.  We are raising our kids together, sharing life’s joys and sorrows.  There is a lot of laughter, adventure and fun when our families get together.  I sure do love you people. #familyportraits #familyofsix #fourkids #threeboysandagirl #barn #fall

the Rogers Family


I photographed the Rogers family three years ago when their youngest son was an infant.  It was so fun to meet up with them again update their family photos.  Aren’t they adorable?  The lighting in the barn made for some really cool black and white images. Thank you Rogers Family for another fun afternoon. May Jesus bless you in this coming […]

the M Family


The M Family chose to shoot their photo session in their park-like backyard.  We included their labradoodle Andes in the session.  He was a good model.  The kids had all kinds of good ideas for posing and locations which made this session a truly collaborative session. Thank you M family for a fun day. May Jesus bless you in the upcoming year. #fall #familyoffive […]

Six Kids Under the Age of Six


October was the third rainiest October on record in Oregon’s history.  It made shooting fall photo sessions really tricky.  Thankfully we lucked out and had a dry and gorgeous morning at Champoeg State Park for our multi-generation family photo session that involved three sisters, their husbands, their children, and their mom.  The six kiddos involved ranged in age from 5 years […]

Horsford Family


The Horsford’s chose a Simple Offering.  It’s my version of a mini-session: a thirty minute session and five high resolution digital images you choose from a private online photo gallery. Kelly knew just what she wanted and we were able to nail it all with five images: a head shot to use for her growing business, pictures of their beautiful girls and a family […]

Chey


Chey moved from New York to Oregon the summer before her senior year of high school.  How brave is that?  She’s finishing her high school career at Sprague High School and already making a bunch of friends.  It was such a pleasure to meet her and her mom.  She chose Champoeg State Park for the session location because she loves […]
