the Farmer’s


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


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 […]

Hayden


Hayden is a Class of 2022 senior.  Hayden is so polite and easy to be around.  A good conversationalist and excellent with people, he opted to finish the second half of his high school online.  He’ll graduate early and begin pursuing a career in real estate/construction/property management.  It’s so refreshing to meet a young adult that is hard working and […]

Sister Sister Mini-Session


We’ve been trying to find a dry patch of 15 minutes to photograph these cute sisters. The last three weeks of non-stop rain have been tricky for outdoor photography, but after rescheduling twice, we finally grabbed a morning where it was drizzling but not pouring and shot their session under cover.  It was great to meet Allyssa and Peyton and […]

Mariana


Mariana is a Class of 2022 senior at Newberg High School.  She is obsessed with her black lab, loves being outdoors, and cherishes the areas where she grew up and has made memories with her family and friends.  She selected those memory-making spots as the locations for her senior portrait sessions: the downtown area of McMinnville where she and her […]

Another Year with the Nanson’s


The Nanson’s hired me my first year in business when I was still offering student pricing and basically learning how to take portraits on paying customers.  Thankfully they came back the next year. And the next year.  This year makes EIGHT years that I have photographed their family. We’re all very comfortable around each other and secure in the expectations […]

Tate


Tate is a Class of 2022 senior at Sherwood High School.  He loves to hang out with his friends and play pick up basketball, but his favorite hobby is lacrosse.  And he’s good at it.  Tate’s defense will most likely land him a position on a college lacrosse team.  Which lucky team is still up in the air.  I’m excited […]

Ruth and Her Family


I met Ruth at the gym when our our Littles were actually little.  She is just delightful and we have many treasured memories of time spent running together. As our kids grew up, life took us in separate directions… our opportunities to connect became less frequent, but in a way, it makes the times we do see each other that […]

the Dutra’s


The Dutra’s were referred to me by a mutual friend, an honor I don’t take lightly.  I loved meeting this sweet family. Their oldest son Devin is a senior at Westview High School.  Like most guys his age, a big senior portrait session was not on his That Sounds Fun list, but of course his parents want some nice senior […]

Thank You for Your Service


Joseph is in the military and about to head back overseas for another tour of duty.  THANK YOU for your service to our country. Thank you to your family who misses you every day that you are gone.   Your sacrifice is not lost on me.  It was a privilege to photograph this family before Joseph leaves again.  We dodged […]
