The Haikin family is delightful. I enjoyed every minute of our photo session at Champoeg State Park. Mr. and Mrs. Haikin had an earthy outdoor wedding and as a result have never really had professional photos taken. They just celebrated their 36th wedding anniversary. I’d say they were overdue… 36 years of daily choosing each other. 36 years of raising their children […]
Tori is a vivacious, creative and beautiful 7th grader. Last year I got to photograph her older brother. This time it was Tori’s turn, save a couple images we shot with her big brother. Isn’t she lovely? Thank you Tori for being such a delight to spend an evening with. #spring #portraits #teens
We shot the Waltz family photo session at the always beautiful Jenkins Estate. It was fun for me to meet them as we share a few mutual friends. Their son was a typical toddler – very unsure about the Scary Lady with the Camera and appreciative of his snacks and sippy cup. Isn’t he sweet? Thank you Waltz family for […]
The Jacobs family choose a beautiful location and super cute outfits for their family photo session. We lucked out with some late evening sunshine in that beautiful field full of flowers and pretty trees. Happy family. Happy spring. Thanks Jacobs family for a fun evening. #springisintheair #fieldofflowers #familyportraits #jacobsfamily
Lindsay and I were on the same Hood to Coast team and have kept in touch over the years. I had the blessing of spending the afternoon with Lindsay, her husband, her parents, and both her grandmas. The love, friendship, and bond they all share is unique and enviable. Clearly this group knows how to love fiercely and deeply. My […]
When your family doesn’t all live locally, it’s a special day to get a photo with all the grandkids together at once. Unfortunately the reason for their gathering was a death in the family. So sorry for your loss Seaman family. May God bring comfort to you as you grieve and may these pictures remind you of the obvious love […]
Goodness do I love photographing newborn babes. Little Mira was so alert and expressive the entire session. She was also super squirmy which gave her photos a customized twist. Isn’t she precious?Thank you Sunny and Andy for sharing your little doll with me. Congratualations! #newbornphotography #mira #preciousbabe

His grownup children are also cute and well behaved. He should be proud.Happy birthday Bruce. Enjoy your photos.
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 […]
