Our Brand New Family of Three


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. […]

Until We’re Old and Gray


To know the Guidry’s is to love them.  Seriously. The first time I met Cyndi, she gave me a huge hug and said, “I feel like we’ve been friends forever.  How have we not known each other until now?”  Our first conversation was thirty minutes long.  Kindred spirits for sure. The Guidry family photo shoot was an emotional one to […]

We Can’t Thank You Enough

The weather here in Oregon has been ridiculously awesome.  Instead of gray, fog, rain and temps in the low 40’s, we’ve had sunshine, blue skies, and temps in the 60’s.  The morning of Deb’s shoot it was cloudy so we didn’t have any fun lighting to work with, but […]

We Adore our Beautiful Photos


Photos shoots in Oregon during the fall can be risky weather-wise.  The day I photographed the Johnson kiddos it was sunny, then pouring, then drizzling, then sunny.  Thankfully their photo shoot was scheduled during beautiful afternoon sunlight.  We got lucky! These kids were so sweet and well behaved, not to mention straight-up adorable.  I was blessed by their sweet and […]
