I’ve known the Faucher family for years. Recently they adopted the cutest puppy on the planet. And then they called me to tell me they had won a Simple Offering I donated to a local auction. They wanted to redeem it for family photos with the new pup. A new puppy and a fun family? LUCKY ME! The weather forecast […]
Every year I beg my kids to participate in a family photo session. Every year it’s harder than it should be. Every year there is some sort of outfit or hair drama. We usually load into the car with at least one or two people irritated and frazzled, but somehow we always leave the session smiling. Now that the kids […]
I have been photographing Nicole and her family since her babes were newborns. This session was special because we included Nicole’s grandma. Four generations of family and love were represented. Aren’t they cute? And don’t the ladies do a good job coordinating outfits and details? I’m always so impressed. Thank you for a fun time together – again. I’m already […]
The biggest compliment I get as a photographer is when my clients refer me to their friends and family. It’s a gift I don’t take likely. Pat and her family were referred to me and I very much enjoyed meeting them. Such a great group of grandkids and grown children. Everyone was so cooperative and fun to work with. Plus […]
I met Yvonne and Jeff through our sons. Their oldest son Gavin was a high level swimmer for Newberg High School when my son Grant started high school. His freshman year, Gavin was a junior and the captain of the swim team. A friendship was formed between our boys. I had never been to a swim meet before and found […]
This spring/summer we had the privilege of hosting our niece Alexa for eight weeks. Alexa is thick into her second year of Physician Assistant (PA) school at a university in Minnesota. Since my husband Curt is a PA and works in PA education, he was able to secure two clinical rotations for her out here in the Pacific Northwest. It […]
We met Jeremy and Christy years ago when they were newly married and were instantly drawn to them. They are gregarious, fun, generous, and just easy to be around. We took them a meal when their first baby was born and have become more intertwined as our families have grown. When they owned a Christmas tree farm, we bought our […]
We met the Waldal’s a few years ago when their son Nathan switched from baseball to our water polo family. It has been fun to get to know them over the years. When you work together at the scoring table, organize food for tournaments, and cheer each other’s kids on, you can’t help but become friends. It was my privilege […]
The weather forecast the day of the Jacobs’ family portraits was perfect. Sun and and 70’s. And it was sun and 70’s all day… until just before their session time. An unexpected summer storm rolled in just as we got started. We found cover and waited out the rain. The post-storm lighting was magical as was the remnant of rain […]
The Wilmot’s have a hashtag for their Instagram posts that describes them perfectly: #thosewonderfulwilmots. I’m guessing it started as a joke because they are some of the most humble people I know, but it is the absolute best description of their family. Just ask anyone who knows them well…. Ryan and Mandee are some of the kindest, thoughtful, smart, creative, […]
