There is something about these two brothers that just melts me. The way they interact with each, their mom and with me is so precious. And that full body hug that Fletcher gave me? Well that just made my day. Maybe my week. Last year little Win was not on the move. This year, he was all over the vineyard, […]
Another year… another session with the awesome Nanson family. We’ve got this Fall Family Photo Session thing dialed in. Thanks Nanson’s for trusting me to help tell your family’s story.

Nicole got my number from a friend and gave me a call. By the time we hung up, I felt like I had a new friend. It was so great to meet Nicole and her darling family at their photo session. It was one of the first days of fall that felt like fall… a little bit of fog, some […]
I met Jaci through my daughter when they were both on the middle school track team. They became fast friends. Jaci’s mom, Dawn, and I started chatting and realized we both liked to run. We ran together once. Then twice. Then weekly. Then multiple times a week. Running brought our families together. Fast forward six years.. Jaci and my son […]
I’ve known the Faucher family for years. Recently they adopted the cutest puppy on the planet. And then they called me to tell me they had won a Simple Offering I donated to a local auction. They wanted to redeem it for family photos with the new pup. A new puppy and a fun family? LUCKY ME! The weather forecast […]
Meet Samantha, senior at Newberg High School. Her big smile is contagious and she is so fun to be around. Isn’t she lovely? We had a beautiful fall morning for Sam’s photo session and we split our time between two local vineyards. Thank you Rex Hill and Bells Up for your hospitality. May God bless you this year Sam, as […]
I’ve known Mason for several years, but have just gotten close to his family in the past year or two. He’s such a cool kid. Mason is a very talented soccer player, but he’s also really artistic. He loves photography and fashion (and shoes) and takes really beautiful photos. I was not one bit surprised that he wanted to go […]
I first heard about Paris when my son Grant was a freshman. She was new to the water polo team and picked the sport up quickly. The two became casual friends. Fast forward to swim season of their junior year. Grant came home from an away swim meet, smiling. Turns out that smile was less about swimming and more about […]
Two years ago I photographed Emma’s older sister Hannah. It was such an honor to receive a call from their mom asking me if I was available to photograph Emma in her senior year. I had a great time getting to know all the things that make Emma unique: her baking business, her dance career, her skills as a musician, […]
I met Sierra when she was a grade schooler playing soccer with my daughter. A few years ago, at an indoor soccer game, her mom told me they were expecting another daughter. What a fun surprise! Little Charlie is a fixture at all of Sierra’s soccer game. It was such an honor to take Sierra’s senior portraits and totally fitting […]
