My friend Zora is full of life and love and beauty. She’s also a zesty Puerto Rican and I love her spirit and spunk. Her IDENTICAL twin sister came to visit from the East Coast so we decided to squeeze in a last-minute photo session of them with their kiddos. It was a sunny, warm fall afternoon spent with beautiful people […]
Last year I photographed the Nanson family. Their darling girls were not interested in posed, traditional photographs so we let them guide the session and I chased them around the park snapping photos. We got beautiful candids of their girls and even managed to get a few lovely family photos. This year I had the privilege of photographing their family […]
Last fall, I photographed Kelly, Jeremy and their two boys. We had fun and one of their photogenic cuties ended up on my business cards. I was excited when Kelly asked me to take their photographs again this year. This time we added in three more family units to account for four generations of Hurl’s! Great-Grandma, Grandma and Grandpa, and both […]
The Lawson family has a lot of love for each other and for life. They spill joy everywhere they go. It’s no surprise their photo session was a ton of fun and elicited beautiful images. Here’s what they had to say about their session. Our family enjoyed getting our pictures done by Jodi. She was funny and made our family […]
The Sudmeier family is laid back and fun. A lot of banter goes on between the four of them and they wanted their spunky spirit to shine through in photos. I was stoked when they called me and gave me their wish list. 1. Eastbank of Portland to highlight the waterfront and the bridges. 2. Natural, fun candid photographs of their family. Of […]
The Scott Family was some of our first friends when my family moved from the cornfields of Iowa to the rugged Pacific Northwest. It was the summer before 5th grade when we pulled into the driveway of our rental home. Even though the moving truck was still loaded, we went to church cause that’s what you do on a Sunday. We […]
I had the privilege of photographing the Rogers family when Cayleb was just six weeks. When his mom asked me to take his one-year photos I was really excited. It’s crazy to me just how much a baby changes from infancy to their first birthday. Cayleb is an October baby and his mom wanted to draw out the fall theme so […]
The Dobson family wanted their photo session to feel like they were in an old English garden. We tossed around a pile of location ideas and finally settled on the perfect spot – Crystal Springs Rhododendron Gardens. On a beautiful summer morning we explored the gardens and took pictures as we played. Melanie is an author and needed some […]
The Pearce Family was SO much fun to photograph. We met at a lovely park in their neighborhood. Everything about this family screams FUN from their brightly colored outfits, well manicured nails, and the way they joke and laugh freely. Our photo session was filled with laughter, celebration, and good natured fun. Here’s what they had to say about their […]
The Chinwuba family is full of fun, fashion, and vibrant personality. We chose Cathedral Park in Portland, Oregon, as our super cool location site. My daughter and her friend came along to assist with the children during the shoot, and we all had a great time. The Chinwuba’s said: “Jodi was fantastic to work with. She is responsive, creative, and thorough. […]
