Lindsay and I were on the same Hood to Coast team and have kept in touch over the years. I had the blessing of spending the afternoon with Lindsay, her husband, her parents, and both her grandmas. The love, friendship, and bond they all share is unique and enviable. Clearly this group knows how to love fiercely and deeply. My […]
When your family doesn’t all live locally, it’s a special day to get a photo with all the grandkids together at once. Unfortunately the reason for their gathering was a death in the family. So sorry for your loss Seaman family. May God bring comfort to you as you grieve and may these pictures remind you of the obvious love […]

His grownup children are also cute and well behaved. He should be proud.Happy birthday Bruce. Enjoy your photos.
I met Tara and her daughter Taylor through the kids program at our church. They served regularly in my daughter’s Sunday school class. They chose to love her, even when she was naughty, and it endeared them to me forever. Taylor now lives in Asia so it was pretty special to get the Tuepker’s together for some family photos when […]
I met Lisel at the gym. You can’t help but like her. Then we met her husband Todd at the Mabel Rush Elementary School carnival. We ate cold hot dogs together and discovered a joint love for the Chicago Cubs. And they have adorable, handsome, fun boys. What’s not to love?It was such a treat to get their family in […]
One thing I love about being a photographer is the people I meet. The Specter’s are a cool family. They recently bought property on Chehalem Mountain and started a vineyard/winery. From all I’ve heard, they make awesome wine. Set up your private tasting at Bells Up Winery by giving them a call. We had gradiose plans of showcasing their […]
The Adams family is busy. With just 16 months separating their babies, Mom doesn’t get much time to just sit down.Their family photo session was exactly what most sessions with little people are like: unpredictable with some highs and lows. Their Little Princess, for the most part, was not interested in getting her photos taken, and her authenticity and toddlerhood shows in […]
The Miller family has a captivating story. Their beautiful twins were born out of a place of great sorrow and immeasurable loss. From the ashes, beauty rises. Hope is born anew. What an honor to be invited into their home to photograph Nolan and Anika in their first few weeks of life. Thank you Nicole and Ron. May Jesus bless your family […]
My Simple Offering is fun for everyone. Quick, easy, and a tiny snapshot of life in that moment. The Willoughby kids are athletes, adorable, and look at that puppy. Oh my goodness…Merry Christmas Willoughby’s. #boxers #puppies #kiddos #familyportraits
Extended family photo sessions are fun and the Ankeny-Brown-Dillow families were no exception. Their kids were so well-behaved that I was beginning to wonder if they were real. Nice work kiddos!We shot their session at George Fox – fitting since most of the adults either currently work there or have at some point in their career.Enjoy your photos and Merry […]
