Peyton is a Class of 2025 graduate from Oregon State University. While earning her Bachelor’s degree she also served our country in the Air National Guard and still managed to find time for sorority life. This photo session was special because Peyton and I worked together for her high school senior portraits. It’s hard to believe she’s already graduating from […]
John reached out to me weeks ahead of his proposal to JNae. His plan was to propose to her on a hot air balloon ride and wanted the morning captured in photos. We chatted through different options and settled on me staying on the ground but traveling with the chase crew to pick up John, JNae, their pilot and their […]
Several years ago I photographed the innkeeper and her staff at Chehalem Ridge Bed & Breakfast. It’s a stunning home tucked on the edge of a mountain top overlooking Newberg and the valley… so peaceful and beautiful. It was special to be invited back to update the photos and include the new staff. Everyone chose a prop that represents something […]
Jack is a Class of 2025 senior at Newberg High School. He’s graduating with a perfect 4.00 GPA and an honors diploma which qualifies him to be a class Valedictorian… a massive accomplishment and one that takes incredible determination, discipline and intellect to accomplish. Congratulations Jack! Jack will continue his education at BYU in the fall and plans to study […]
Elizabeth is a Class of 2025 graduate from Sherwood High School. She decided midway through this school year that instead of using her senior year next year to take electives she would graduate early and kick start her college career and next chapter of life. She and I met up on a lovely early summer evening for a quick photo […]
The Specter’s were some of my OG clients… hiring me my first year out when I was building a portfolio and doing student pricing. More than 12 sessions later, I’m honored to still be their person for all things portrait related. They own Bells Up Winery and we typically photograph them in their vineyard, but this year we went all […]
I have known Helmi since she was in 3rd grade playing youth basketball with my daughter. The two of them looked like twins so of course the families struck up a conversation and friendships ensued. Helmi grew up in Newberg and so did a ton of girls in her friend group. In a lot of cases, these girls have more […]
I first started photographing Lauren when she was in middle school and now she’s a high school graduate who will be playing collegiate lacrosse out East. SO PROUD OF YOU Lauren. It’s been a privilege to photograph you over the years and watch you grow into the lovely woman you are. You are going to continue to be a beast […]
I met Molly playing pickleball. We were both new to the game. She was catching on SUPER fast. I was not. Like how can a game that looks so easy be so hard? Anyway, we both like to laugh and have a hard time staying focused for long periods of time so we bonded over these things and formed a […]
Clara is a 2025 graduate from Newberg High School who plan to attend George Fox University in the fall to study nursing. It was poetic that she chose the Fox campus as the location for her high school graduation cap and gown photos… an ode to what has been and a nod to what lies ahead. We had the most […]
