To know the Budd family is to love them. Just ask any of their hundreds of friends. They bring fun and joy and authenticity everywhere they go. I’ve known Abbie for years and celebrated with their family when they brought Ruby home. Abbie and John also have a beautiful love story. Their love and admiration for each other is obvious.It was […]
The Menke Family means so much to me and my family. They have embraced all six of us like we are their own flesh and blood, loving us, including us, and just enriching our lives. It was an honor to photograph Ann and Doug with their two lovely children and their families. Ann insisted that I bring my entire crew […]
The Williams Family chose a Simple Offering – my version of a mini-session. It was perfect for the family photos they wanted. We also took a couple of Jeremy and Tammy too since they just had a milestone anniversary. Congratulations!I can’t get over how giant those leaves were and how vibrant the color is. Enjoy your photos Williams Family. Tammy said, These are […]
I met the Monroe Family for their photo session at a pretty neighborhood park in Beaverton. Their son Abraham was about to celebrate his first birthday, so we took some one year portraits and some family portraits. Isn’t he cute? He even let me hold him while I was taking a few pictures of just his Mom and Dad. I […]
Branden is a farmer’s son. His parent’s farm is just outside the Carlton city limits and has been in their family for decades. Their land has open fields hemmed in by rolling foothills, a welcoming home with a big yard, and large wooded sections with grassy marshes where they duck hunt in the fall. It only made sense to do […]
My Simple Offering is short and sweet – a quick snapshot of where a family is at for the year. It’s perfect for families who just want a handful of images for their holiday card or to hang on their wall.The Lawson’s are good friends. It’s easy to be around them and our girls are all friends. It was fun […]
One of the perks of my job is meeting new people. The Sutherland’s were a lot of fun. We did their photo session on their property on Chehalem Mountain. It was a foggy, fall morning – perfect for capturing the beauty of where they live. Their home has lush gardens and a big field bordered by trees. I had fun exploring the […]
I met Lindsay in the child care area at the local gym. Each morning when I dropped my kiddos off, she took care of them so I could take care of myself. When she told me she was a massage therapist, I hired her to help me get better from a chronic injury. You can NOT find a massage therapist […]
I met Rachita and Kunal when they were expecting their son Aryan. We did their maternity session outside in the late winter/early spring and Rachita was such a trooper, walking through mud in her fancy red high heels so we could get the perfect shots. I brought Paige, my youngest daughter, as my assistant on that shoot, and we all just […]
The Wolf family photo sessions are such a treat for me. I love being outside and hope to one day move out of the city and onto a tiny farm. To get to visit them on their GIANT family farm that has been part of their heritage for decades and photograph them on the land they love? Well, that is […]
