It was great to reconnect with the Byars family after a couple of years apart. Jonah is now a senior at Lincoln High School so we did a family mini-session and then Jonah and I took off to shoot his senior portrait session. We had a beautiful fall morning to work with and Portland was showing off! Thank you Byars […]
Another year with the Hall family. So surreal to think I started photographing them when Eleanor was a baby. I look forward to this session every year. Amazing people with so much love for each other and the world. Also bonus to Melissa and Jason for randomly breaking out in the EXACT same song from a musical based on one […]
Ethan is a Class of 2023 senior at St. Paul High School. He plays baseball. Loves his car. Is an entrepreneur with his own design and apparel company. He worked two jobs durning the summer – ATTA KID – and was just so fun to get to know. We shot his session on a perfect early fall evening and got to […]
Teachers: Unappreciated. Underpaid. Influencers. World Changers. A gift from God. We all can tell stories with specific details of how a teacher or a coach impacted our lives. Jessica Hawney is one of the greatest teachers we’ve met. Jessica SEES greatness in kids. She SEES past their imperfections, past their road blocks, past their resistance to WHO they actually are […]
I photograph the Williams’ family every year. This year we added the boys’ grandma for a couple of photos and of course Rizzo, their big furry boy. When we scheduled this year’s shoot neither of us could believe a full year had already gone by. It truly feels like a handful of months ago we were shooting their 2020 family […]
It was SO fun to reconnect with Kamren after several years of not seeing her. When we used to see each other at the gym, our kids were little babies in the childcare. And now look at her beautiful, on their way to almost grown children. And she hasn’t aged a day in ten years. I want to know her […]
The Banke Family is the coolest. The whole family gives off a super chill and laid back vibe. It was freezing the morning of their session and no one – including the baby – was phased by any of it. Alex and Hailey are awesome and helpful older siblings. Everett and Lucy are the cutest set of Littles ever. And […]
Jacob is a Class of 2022 senior at Newberg High School. He plays basketball and likes to hang out with his friends. Our original plan for Jacob’s photo session was to go out to Champoeg State Park so we could get some rustic/woods photos, but it was raining non-stop the entire week of Jacob’s photo session with the exception of […]
The Farmer’s were some of OG clients. One of their childhood friends took a chance on me and hired me at student pricing while I was building my portfolio and deciding if I was any good at portraits. They passed my name on to their friend group and several of them hired me. The best part of this – beside […]
Annabelle is a Class of 2022 senior at Newberg High School. She is the goalie for Newberg’s water polo team and the girls just won 5th place at state. Well done! Annabelle had all sorts of fun ideas for her senior portraits and we somehow managed to incorporate them all: water polo, her Volkswagen bug, some sort of water for […]
