Ben is the coolest kid. A senior at McMinnville High School, he spent the last year of his life studying abroad in South America through a Rotary scholarship. He now speaks fluent Spanish and has broad cultural experience that he plans to use in his future career flying airplanes for humanitarian relief. I mean c’mon! How cool is that? Ben […]
Kyler and Grace are two of the kindest, polite, and thoughtful high schoolers I have ever worked with. Early into their session, Kyler very sincerely paused and asked me, “How has your day been today? What have you been up to?” I was momentarily speechless. High school boys just don’t ask me how I’m doing. Grace was just the same. […]
Katie is my favorite senior of 2020. Duh. She’s my daughter. Isn’t she lovely? We broke her senior portraits into three sessions: a mini-session in the middle of a hike, a full session the following night once we worked out our kinks, and a sports-themed mini session with her best friend Morgan. It’s crazy to me that we are on […]
My daughter Katie and her best friend Morgan play soccer together at Newberg High School. They wanted soccer related senior portraits, individually and together, so we decided to shoot a separate sports mini-session, outside of their senior portrait sessions. It was a very bright day and our time on the field before the football players came out to practice was […]
Justine is a senior at Newberg High School and one of my daughter’s friends. She has a beautiful soul, and is thoughtful and kind. It was so fun to take Justine’s senior portraits. We had a crisp, sunny fall day for her session in the vineyard. Have the best senior year Justine. I look forward to seeing the places you’ll […]
Kelvin’s mom Jarae and I are running partners which means we have spent hours over hundreds of miles talking about and praying for each other’s families. I feel like her kids are part of my crew even though I’ve spent very little face to face time with them. Kel is one dynamic young man. He is loyal. Hard working. Dedicated. […]
Josh is a senior at Tigard High School. He plays football, runs track (anchoring the 4×100 relay), and obviously spends time in the weight room because he is ripped. He also just earned the coveted Eagle Scout award from the Boy Scouts and was very kind, humble about his accomplishments, and respectful in all of my interactions with him. This […]
Morgan is like one of our family members. She and my daughter Katie are BFF’s and they are together as often as possible. It was so fun to take Morgan’s senior portraits, especially since I was privy to all the pre-session shopping, planning and scheming. Morgan’s mom and Katie came along to her session, which made a fun night even […]
I met Jody, several years ago and we immediately connected over our shared name, a love for exercise, and our kids that were around the same ages. As good friends do, we talk a lot about our families. We have prayed each other through difficult times and cheered each other on through success. (Also she’s adorable – see photo). Jody’s […]
I met Peyton in early summer when I took their family photos. My biggest takeaway from my hour around her, was that she was full of joy and sunshine. She laughs freely and is a delight to be around. Working together for her senior photos just solidified my initial impression. I walk away smiling when I’m around Peyton. She’s also […]
