Until Next Time


Season and I both work part-time for an event company that hosts running races.  When she found out I was also a photographer, she called me to book a session.  It gave me a chance to meet her darling family and capture her daughters’ sweet and fun personalities. We met early on a Saturday morning in downtown Newberg for their […]

So Wonderful to Work With


The Laws family chose a spring photo shoot – a gamble in the fickle Oregon weather.  We had to reschedule once and the second session time threatened more rain.  Thankfully we managed to get their entire family session finished just as the rain started up again.  We even had some sunshine. This was the first time the Laws family has ever […]

Exceeded Our Expectations for the Second Year in a Row


It gives me great joy when my clients ask me to come back and capture their family again.  I get to see how their kiddos are growing and be a voice telling that family’s story for generations to come. It’s a privilege I don’t take lightly. The Varuska twins are so, so cute.  I brought my daughter Alli along to assist me […]

I’ve Never Looked So Good


Holley needed professional head shots for the website she’s building around her new business as a life coach.  When we did her photo session she was days away from defending her dissertation.  By the time I edited her photos, she had successfully passed the Oral Exam and all she has left to do is collect her diploma. Congratulations Dr. Clough! Holley […]

Our Brand New Family of Three


Is there anything more beautiful than a newborn babe, especially a firstborn?  All the newness of fresh life and becoming parents is exhilarating and exhausting.  Overwhelming and over joyous.  Ryan and Mandee invited me into that sacred space and gave me the privilege of photographing their firstborn son. We’d prayed together for his health and safe arrival throughout Mandee’s pregnancy. […]

Blessed By Her Talent


Kathleen and I went to Haiti together on a mission trip.  We bonded. Life for Kathleen changed dramatically when she learned she was expecting her first baby.  He was LONG awaited and our entire team of Haiti Sistas celebrated with Kathleen and her husband John. We threw her a shower and I took the pictures. (My daughter Alli L-O-V-E-S Kathleen […]

Until We’re Old and Gray


To know the Guidry’s is to love them.  Seriously. The first time I met Cyndi, she gave me a huge hug and said, “I feel like we’ve been friends forever.  How have we not known each other until now?”  Our first conversation was thirty minutes long.  Kindred spirits for sure. The Guidry family photo shoot was an emotional one to […]

We Can’t Thank You Enough


Rachita and Kunal were expecting their first baby – a son.  They called and asked me to document this big event in their lives. Oregon winters are mild, but the landscape still can look pretty barren.  It’s hard to find beautiful outdoor locations in the middle of February.  And this is Oregon.  It rains a lot in the winter.  We also needed […]

Family Photos are Next


Toby’s senior photo session came first.  His mom was so happy with the images that she texted, “Family photos are next.”  We followed through on a gorgeous fall day. The Jordan’s live on a farm complete with an old barn, llamas, cows and dogs. There is no shortage of fun things for their five kiddos to do. The morning of the […]

Thanks for Working Around the Weather


Toby is a polite, handsome, kind-of-quiet guy with a really great smile.  He’s hard working and endearingly tender with his baby sister.  He’s also a genius on his skateboard. We had to reschedule his original senior photo session because it was POURING rain.  Kind of disappointing initially, but well worth waiting for decent weather.  We got some super cool senior images for […]
