Deb needed updated professional head shots and I was happy to help. The weather here in Oregon has been ridiculously awesome. Instead of gray, fog, rain and temps in the low 40’s, we’ve had sunshine, blue skies, and temps in the 60’s. The morning of Deb’s shoot it was cloudy so we didn’t have any fun lighting to work with, but […]

Photos shoots in Oregon during the fall can be risky weather-wise. The day I photographed the Johnson kiddos it was sunny, then pouring, then drizzling, then sunny. Thankfully their photo shoot was scheduled during beautiful afternoon sunlight. We got lucky! These kids were so sweet and well behaved, not to mention straight-up adorable. I was blessed by their sweet and […]
My friend Kim sent me a text at 12:22 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon. “I was going to see if you might be up for a last minute extended fam photo shoot today at 3. Our photographer is sick and just cancelled.” The text didn’t mention there were FIFTEEN people involved in these photos. Or that the weather forecast was for […]
Hannah is the daughter of my friend Sandra. When I met her she was just entering middle school. Now she’s a senior and graduating from high school this spring. It was pretty special to have her be my first – of what I hope will be many – Senior Fashion Sessions. Hannah, Sandra and I met for coffee a few weeks before the […]
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 […]
