We met Nathan eight years ago when he was volunteering in the two year old classroom at our church. We appreciated his faithful service, gentle demeanor, and welcoming smile, especially on the Sundays when our reluctant, often tearful two-year-old would cling a little longer before heading into class. I remember when Nathan met Jenny. His already bright countenance got even brighter. He […]
The Farmer’s were some of my first clients when I was just getting my business started which makes them extra special. Plus they are straight up awesome. Their boys are busy and fun, giggly and mischievous, and obviously adorable. So basically, they are irresistible. Thank you Kara and Brock for another fun session. It is so fun for me to […]
Another year. Another family photo session with the Frey’s. It warms my heart that I get to be their photographer. We are raising our kids together, sharing life’s joys and sorrows. There is a lot of laughter, adventure and fun when our families get together. I sure do love you people. #familyportraits #familyofsix #fourkids #threeboysandagirl #barn #fall
I photographed the Rogers family three years ago when their youngest son was an infant. It was so fun to meet up with them again update their family photos. Aren’t they adorable? The lighting in the barn made for some really cool black and white images. Thank you Rogers Family for another fun afternoon. May Jesus bless you in this coming […]
The M Family chose to shoot their photo session in their park-like backyard. We included their labradoodle Andes in the session. He was a good model. The kids had all kinds of good ideas for posing and locations which made this session a truly collaborative session. Thank you M family for a fun day. May Jesus bless you in the upcoming year. #fall #familyoffive […]
October was the third rainiest October on record in Oregon’s history. It made shooting fall photo sessions really tricky. Thankfully we lucked out and had a dry and gorgeous morning at Champoeg State Park for our multi-generation family photo session that involved three sisters, their husbands, their children, and their mom. The six kiddos involved ranged in age from 5 years […]
The Horsford’s chose a Simple Offering. It’s my version of a mini-session: a thirty minute session and five high resolution digital images you choose from a private online photo gallery. Kelly knew just what she wanted and we were able to nail it all with five images: a head shot to use for her growing business, pictures of their beautiful girls and a family […]
Paula and I have been acquaintances for year and close friends for almost two years. It sounds silly on paper. Only two years? Cause it feels like a lifetime. In those two years we have worked together. Played together. Run together. Hiked together. Worked through disagreements together. Shared our joys and sorrows with each other. Cried together. Prayed together. Celebrated together. In two […]
I met Carrie at the gym when we first moved to Newberg. You know when you’re “new” somewhere it feels like EVERYONE knows each other except you? I felt that way at the gym, but Carrie and her friend Michele said “Hi” to me. They smiled. Made conversation. They helped me not feel like such a newbie. That was years ago. […]
Another year… another photo session with the Nanson’s. It’s crazy to me to see how much their girls have grown and changed in the four years that I’ve been taking their family photos. Aren’t they adorable? We chose Bells Up Winery as the location for their family photo session. Sara and Dave, the owners of Bells Up, are clients of mine […]
