Isaiah is a Class of 2025 senior at McMinnville High School. Isaiah really wanted a train in his photos, but the best we could do was some corrugated metal and some old train tracks to start, then we headed into a less grungy area of town to finish his session. We had a beautiful late fall day for his senior […]
Oh these Nanson’s… Aren’t they adorable? This is the third year in a row that I’ve been blessed to be their photographer. Their girls just keep getting cuter and spunkier. I love watching them grow.Enjoy your photos Nanson’s. Lynne said, You did it again, for the third year in a row! You can dress them up….but you can’t […]
Oh these Donaldson’s. How I adore them. I met Amber in the pre-school pickup line when my family was new to Oregon and miserably lonely. Her beautiful smile and hospitable personality were a life line to our family that was craving community. It’s been seven years. In that time our kids have grown from pre-school to middle school. Amber and I have grown too. […]
Robin and I met at the gym when I was still fresh to living in Oregon and needing friends. I liked her immediately. She’s almost always wearing a smile and she gives amazing hugs. People are drawn to her. I was no exception. But our schedules and life phases were vastly different so for years we’d wave and smile at […]
The Laws family chose a spring photo shoot – a gamble in the fickle Oregon weather. We had to reschedule once and the second session time threatened more rain. Thankfully we managed to get their entire family session finished just as the rain started up again. We even had some sunshine. This was the first time the Laws family has ever […]
Holley needed professional head shots for the website she’s building around her new business as a life coach. When we did her photo session she was days away from defending her dissertation. By the time I edited her photos, she had successfully passed the Oral Exam and all she has left to do is collect her diploma. Congratulations Dr. Clough! Holley […]
Is there anything more beautiful than a newborn babe, especially a firstborn? All the newness of fresh life and becoming parents is exhilarating and exhausting. Overwhelming and over joyous. Ryan and Mandee invited me into that sacred space and gave me the privilege of photographing their firstborn son. We’d prayed together for his health and safe arrival throughout Mandee’s pregnancy. […]
My friend Kim sent me a text at 12:22 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon. “I was going to see if you might be up for a last minute extended fam photo shoot today at 3. Our photographer is sick and just cancelled.” The text didn’t mention there were FIFTEEN people involved in these photos. Or that the weather forecast was for […]
Last fall, I photographed Kelly, Jeremy and their two boys. We had fun and one of their photogenic cuties ended up on my business cards. I was excited when Kelly asked me to take their photographs again this year. This time we added in three more family units to account for four generations of Hurl’s! Great-Grandma, Grandma and Grandpa, and both […]
This family was a blast to photograph. Their twin daughters were turning one and these babies were H-A-P-P-Y! My baby-loving daughter Alli came with me to this shoot as my Assistant. I give her credit for most of the smiling pictures. These little girls loved her. I was totally blessed by this feedback from Jill. Thank you Jill for trusting […]
