Lucas is a Class of 2021 senior at Newberg High School. Lucas is an avid outdoorsman, an athlete, and hard working. He wanted to have his senior session be a small reflection of the things he loves: the water, his dog, his family, and the fun urban-grunge part of his small town. Winter sessions in Oregon are always risky with […]
Ryan and Mandee are the type of people everyone wants as friends. They are solidly grounded in their faith which leads to a strong marriage, deep friendships, and patient, consistent parenting of their three awesome boys. We adore them. They make life look easy, even when it’s the farthest thing from easy. May the Lord continue to guide and lead […]
This is the second time I’ve had the privilege of photographing the extended Johnson family. It’s crazy how much the kids grew and changed in a handful of years. Rain was not in the forecast for their session. And yet… we got everybody set up for the first photo and the skies unleashed. We ran for cover and contemplated our […]
Each time I sat down to work with these family photos, I mumbled, “OKAY CUTE!” at least once or twice. I mean… seriously. They are just so cute. And fun. And nice. Plus Grandma GG is total goals. Isn’t she stunning and fun with her pink hair and her awesome style? It was sunny but FREEZING and super windy, so […]
Heather and her kiddos were so excited for their family photo session. We had a gorgeous, sunny fall day for their session, and then… it started raining hard right as their session started. When there is hand-curled hair involved, you don’t do rainy portraits. What a bummer. We opted to switch to a location with covered spaces instead of […]
The Specter’s are another one of my OG families. They took a chance on me when I was a newbie photographer, then hired me back in spite of being forced indoors by a winter storm for their first photo session. Over the years since that first eventful session, my talent, their grapes, their daughter, and our friendship has grown. I’m […]
The Nanson family hired me my first year out as a newbie photographer. They put their trust in me, and have continued to hire me each year to document how their girls are growing. By now we all have the photo session down to a routine: get in, get out, get on your way. I love seeing them each year, […]
Life with preschooler and toddlers is busy. I know I’m doing my job in a photo session with this age group when I start sweating and shedding layers. This family is so stinking cute. Their little man was on the go from the second they got him out of his car seat, and their sweet girl was all giggles and […]
I got to photograph this family when they were expecting their daughter. And then I got to come to their home to take newborn photos. Now their sweet munchkin is one and I was invited back for another photo session. Isn’t she sweet? They are such a great family and I’m so lucky to help document the growth in their […]
This is the third time I’ve had the privilege of photographing the Jacobs’ family, and I love how joy-filled and fun their photos are. We had a windy, but beautiful fall day to work with. Even better, Gran was in town and got to join in the photo taking fun. Thank you Jacobs family for trusting me to document these […]
