Bradley


Bradley is a senior at Sherwood High School. We squeezed his senior photo session in just before the February 1st yearbook deadline.I think we all had fun just winging it at the last minute. We even got a dry hour to shoot his session, minus a little rain shower. I love it when a plan comes together.May God bless you […]

Katie


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 […]

Zach


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 […]

Branden


Branden is a farmer’s son. His parent’s farm is just outside the Carlton city limits and has been in their family for decades. Their land has open fields hemmed in by rolling foothills, a welcoming home with a big yard, and large wooded sections with grassy marshes where they duck hunt in the fall. It only made sense to do […]

What Can I Say But I Love Them All?


Trey wanted an urban theme for his senior portraits, but neither of us wanted to dodge the crowds that were inevitable on a beautiful fall Saturday in downtown Portland. So we stayed local and saw with fresh eyes just how urban Newberg can be.  Trey’s mom said, What can I say but I love the pictures that are in the […]

Kaleb – Parkour Through The Forest


My non-biological nephew Kaleb is a senior at South Albany High School this year.  He’s a fun guy who loves parkour, hiking and being in the forest.  So we went for a hike in the Santiam Forest and he parkoured his way through his senior photo session. It was a blast. I love that his images tell his story so uniquely. Great ideas […]

I Can’t Find Fault with a Single One


Adi is a creative, free spirit. She loves being outdoors in the forest or at the beach. She also loves the fashion industry and hopes to pursue a degree in that area when she graduates. We combined all her passions in her senior session by taking the curvy, back road through the forest to Pacific City. The forest was moody […]

Win My Day


Hannah has a classic, timeless beauty that radiates from her.  She grew up in McMinnville and has strong connections to Linfield College where her Grandpa played an influential role in the football program.  The snack shack is named after him and he coined the phrase “Win My Day.” Her Grandpa was a well loved man who passed away a little over […]

Taeler


Taeler warned me that she was awkward in front of the camera but I think she was lying.  She was a total natural and so beautiful!  We had a blast walking around downtown Newberg and choosing random locations that spoke to us in the moment.  Her Mom – a friend of mine from high school – joined us for an evening filled […]

Better Than What I Could Have Expected


I slept in Haley’s bed years before I met her in person.  #awkward It’s not as bad as it sounds.  Haley’s mom Lisa was our Hood to Coast driver the only year I’ve run that relay.  She invited our entire van to camp out at their house the night before the race and we crashed all over their house.  I […]
