Busy


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 […]

One


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 […]

Third Time


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 […]

Connor + Family


Connor is a Class of 2021 senior at C.S. Lewis Academy.  He plays and loves soccer, but academics are his priority.  Connor excels in math and science and is considering a career in engineering.  Connor’s senior session was fun because he brought his entire family, including his dog Daisy.  We did a mini family portrait session to start our time […]

Reconnecting


Our family has known the Kern’s in a loose capacity for the past twelve years.  Every time our paths cross, I leave feeling blessed to know them and thankful for the the time to we spend together.  It was fun to reconnect again this summer for some fellowship and family photos.  Aren’t they adorable?  Thank you Kern family for a […]

Another Year.. Another Photo Session


Parts of 2020 felt like time stood still so it surprised me when the Hall’s called me for their yearly photo session.  It really doesn’t feel like it’s been a year since we did their last one.  Champoeg State Park is their favorite destination and this year we had much more pleasant weather to work with.  I have loved watching […]

Influence


I am humbled by the caliber of the influential families I have photographed this summer.  Here’s another incredible family. The Edinger’s love well.  Work hard.  Serve their communities.  Are raising talented, thoughtful, smart  kids. They do it quietly, with focused passion and bring Light to a dark world.  I’m blessed to know them.  Thank you Edinger’s for all you do. […]

Boho Beauty


Nicole is as sweet as she is beautiful.  Our paths don’t cross as often as I would like them to, but when they do the fellowship is sweet.  It seemed even sweeter this time because of the social isolation brought on by COVID.   Nicole went with a boho theme for her family photos.  We melded beautiful dresses, lovely girls, […]

Magical Light


The Pothoff’s are good people.  There is no way around their solid character, their faith in Jesus, their kindness, and the way they passionately use their gifts and talents to serve and minister to the community around them.  Every time I am around them, I leave feeling filled up and encouraged.  It has been five years since we did a […]

Playful Beach Photos


This sweet family was vacationing at Cannon Beach for their babymoon.  Our objective was to get playful family photos and we let their pup and their toddler take the lead.  They walked on the beach, dug in the sand, tickled, giggled, snuggled, and wrestled. And their pup? Never let their sweet boy out of his sight… constantly keeping watch over […]
