I met Tara and her daughter Taylor through the kids program at our church. They served regularly in my daughter’s Sunday school class. They chose to love her, even when she was naughty, and it endeared them to me forever. Taylor now lives in Asia so it was pretty special to get the Tuepker’s together for some family photos when […]
I met Lisel at the gym. You can’t help but like her. Then we met her husband Todd at the Mabel Rush Elementary School carnival. We ate cold hot dogs together and discovered a joint love for the Chicago Cubs. And they have adorable, handsome, fun boys. What’s not to love?It was such a treat to get their family in […]
One thing I love about being a photographer is the people I meet. The Specter’s are a cool family. They recently bought property on Chehalem Mountain and started a vineyard/winery. From all I’ve heard, they make awesome wine. Set up your private tasting at Bells Up Winery by giving them a call. We had gradiose plans of showcasing their […]
Katie found out about the deadline for her senior portraits with only a few days to spare. We squeezed in her photo session, got her yearbook photo submitted, then took our time finishing up the selecting/editing process. She was a delight to work with and I’m so glad we were able to wing it and get her session squeezed in. May Jesus […]
The Adams family is busy. With just 16 months separating their babies, Mom doesn’t get much time to just sit down.Their family photo session was exactly what most sessions with little people are like: unpredictable with some highs and lows. Their Little Princess, for the most part, was not interested in getting her photos taken, and her authenticity and toddlerhood shows in […]
The Miller family has a captivating story. Their beautiful twins were born out of a place of great sorrow and immeasurable loss. From the ashes, beauty rises. Hope is born anew. What an honor to be invited into their home to photograph Nolan and Anika in their first few weeks of life. Thank you Nicole and Ron. May Jesus bless your family […]
Zach: captain of the water polo team – led his team to the 6A State Champion title. Funny. Hard working. Kind. Intense. Loves cars. A strong leader. And those blue eyes… It was fun to spend a big part of the day with him taking his senior portraits on his family’s property. Congrats Zach on a great water polo season. May God […]
My Simple Offering is fun for everyone. Quick, easy, and a tiny snapshot of life in that moment. The Willoughby kids are athletes, adorable, and look at that puppy. Oh my goodness…Merry Christmas Willoughby’s. #boxers #puppies #kiddos #familyportraits
Extended family photo sessions are fun and the Ankeny-Brown-Dillow families were no exception. Their kids were so well-behaved that I was beginning to wonder if they were real. Nice work kiddos!We shot their session at George Fox – fitting since most of the adults either currently work there or have at some point in their career.Enjoy your photos and Merry […]
I love my job, no matter who I’m photographing. But when I get to put my friends in front of my camera? Well that’s even better. Our family LOVES the Frey’s. They are fun, generous, approachable, authentic, and awesome. Plus every time we go over to their house, they have more animals. Look at all those cute doggies! Thanks Frey’s for another […]
