It’s a rare winter that the Willamette Valley gets enough snow that it accumulates enough to cover the grass and cold enough that it sticks around for a few days. This winter the valley got blasted by five separate storms over the course of a couple of weeks. The result? We got snow that stuck for days, beautiful sunshine, blue skies, and […]
McKenna’s “little” brother has been good friends with my son since we moved to Newberg more than eight years ago. The family resemblance is strong! I’m so used to relating to McKenna’s family via Raleigh and water polo that it was strange and super fun to spend time with McKenna and her mom doing something unrelated to water polo. McKenna […]
Chey moved from New York to Oregon the summer before her senior year of high school. How brave is that? She’s finishing her high school career at Sprague High School and already making a bunch of friends. It was such a pleasure to meet her and her mom. She chose Champoeg State Park for the session location because she loves […]
Nate is a senior at Newberg High School. He didn’t want a big, long senior session, but he did want some cool senior portraits. The Simple Offering was perfect for him. We did a quick 30 minute photo session. He had enough time to change once and still use several different backgrounds. His five images capture who he is and tell his […]
I’ve watched Matt grow up. It’s crazy to me that he’s a senior now and isn’t he handsome? Those freckles, blue eyes, and big smile… Matt always knows how to make me laugh with his mischievous smile and antics. He’s athletic, fun, and a total dare devil. Matt plays football, wrestles, and runs track. By the end of this year, he’ll […]
Abraham is a senior at McMinnville High School. I met him at a lovely vineyard in the rolling countryside outside of Amity for his senior session. Abraham’s German shepherd puppy joined us for the last part of his session. Have a great senior year Abraham.
I liked Ally immediately. It’s hard not to. Her bubbly personality spills out and splashes onto everyone around. She is happy and fun, easy to talk to, and an incredibly gifted athlete. She’s playing FOUR high school sports this year, even though there are only three season. Doubling up this fall with cross country and soccer, basketball in the winter, […]
Emma has a quiet confidence and a beautiful smile. A senior at McMinnville High School, Emma is also a highly skilled golfer. We had a great time telling Emma’s story through her senior photos by splitting her session between the vineyard where her Dad makes wine and her home golf course. Have a great year Emma. I’m looking forward to hearing which […]
Kayla is quiet and lovely with a beautiful smile and gorgeous eyes. She’s a talented vocalist too. She chose her grandparent’s farm as the location for her senior session. Packed with childhood memories for her and her mom, it was the perfect place to capture Kayla in this transitional point in her life. Thank you Kayla for sharing the family […]
To know Maddie is to love her. And I don’t say that lightly. Maddie is obviously beautiful, but her beauty isn’t skin deep. She has depth of character. Drive. Grit. Determination. Intellect. Compassion. Athleticism. Humility. Kindness. Maddie is the real deal… but she’d never tell you about any of her accomplishments. Maddie is a nationally acclaimed track star. Her 4×400 […]
