The Year of Beating Breast Cancer is Here


Robin and I met at the gym when I was still fresh to living in Oregon and needing friends.  I liked her immediately. She’s almost always wearing a smile and she gives amazing hugs.  People are drawn to her.  I was no exception.  But our schedules and life phases were vastly different so for years we’d wave and smile at […]

Drew


Drew is a senior at Newberg High School.  I met his mom in the bleachers while we watched our daughters tear it up on the basketball court.  He’s a very nice guy with a ruggedly handsome profile.  Drew rocked his photo session at Champoeg State Park.  I’m excited to share his images.  Have a great senior year Drew.  May God […]

I Love Every One of Them!


Molli is a senior at McMinnville High School. She’s a competitive and successful swimmer who also loves fishing with her Dad. I really enjoyed meeting her and taking her senior photos on her family’s property outside of town.Molli’s cousin Hannah is also a senior at McMinnville High. We took her senior portraits after Molli’s and did some photos of the […]

They are all so Beautiful


Hayley starts her senior year this week. She’s a volleyball player. A reader. Creative with awesome ideas. And she’s obviously beautiful. We had fun exploring McMinnville during her senior photo session. Hayley’s mom said, They are all so beautiful. It was really hard to decide. Hayley said, I just wanted to say thank you so much for taking my senior […]

Incredibly Fun to Shoot With


Lauren is the daughter of our good friends.  She’s obviously beautiful.  And ripped.  That girl is dedicated to her Crossfit and it shows.  She is strong and fierce and determined and lovely – in all ways.  Lauren loves Jesus and His light shines through her, pouring brightness and joy and hope and fun onto everyone she meets.  She is wise beyond […]

Taeler


Taeler warned me that she was awkward in front of the camera but I think she was lying.  She was a total natural and so beautiful!  We had a blast walking around downtown Newberg and choosing random locations that spoke to us in the moment.  Her Mom – a friend of mine from high school – joined us for an evening filled […]

Filkins Family


I met Jody online.  That’s right.  We met on the internet.  It was instant friendship at the first email exchange. Jody is wicked smart, successful, hilarious, light hearted, athletic, encouraging, beautiful and so much fun.  Every time we hang out, I leave our time together with a heart overflowing with gratitude for her friendship.  Her fragrance of joy lingers for […]

Better Than What I Could Have Expected


I slept in Haley’s bed years before I met her in person.  #awkward It’s not as bad as it sounds.  Haley’s mom Lisa was our Hood to Coast driver the only year I’ve run that relay.  She invited our entire van to camp out at their house the night before the race and we crashed all over their house.  I […]

Means More To Us Than You’ll Ever Know


Sandra was one of my first friends when we moved to Newberg.  Our now middle-school aged daughters were attending four-year-old pre-school together and we met in the pick up line. Sandra is steadfast and determined.  She puts her mind to something and sees it through to completion.  In the years we’ve been friends she has gone back to college and […]

So Thankful We Decided To Do This Shoot


Two years ago I was just getting my business off the ground and I got to photograph the Farmer family.  Their handsome baby boy had the biggest blue eyes, just like his Mom and Dad.  Last week I had the chance to meet up with the Farmer family again – this time to do a maternity photo session for Son […]
