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 […]
I first met Jason and Melissa when they were expecting Eleanor. Once Eleanor was born, we all fell in love. She is so darling – happy, engaging, curious and snuggly. Plus her big blue eyes just melt you. It was a lot of fun to do their family photo session at Champoeg State Park. We had a magical, foggy morning […]
Two years ago the Allori’s hired me when I was just launching my business. It was such a joy to revisit family photos for them now that I have more experience and much better equipment. The Allori’s have style and they bring it to their sessions. Their kids are darling and so much fun to photograph. The greatest compliment a […]
Becky and I have been friends for more than five years. It seems like the pre-school pickup line is the best place to meet and make new friends!It was such a blessing to get their family in front of my camera. I mean look how darling they are? Since the the leaves in the vineyard weren’t quite yellow yet, Becky […]
I met Angela and Adam about a year and a half ago when we did a multi-generation family photo session. It was so fun to visit again with their family and take updated photos for them. A lot has changed too. Adam and Angela are engaged now so we did engagement photos, then family photos with their oh-so-darling and handsome son […]
My friend Di is beautiful. Duh. Look at her. But what makes her radiant is all that wisdom, love, warmth and Jesus-like character that spills out from inside onto everyone she encounters.Di recently wrote a book – He Speaks in the Silence – about losing her hearing as a young adult, almost losing her faith because of it, and learning […]
