The Haikin family is delightful. I enjoyed every minute of our photo session at Champoeg State Park. Mr. and Mrs. Haikin had an earthy outdoor wedding and as a result have never really had professional photos taken. They just celebrated their 36th wedding anniversary. I’d say they were overdue… 36 years of daily choosing each other. 36 years of raising their children […]
We shot the Waltz family photo session at the always beautiful Jenkins Estate. It was fun for me to meet them as we share a few mutual friends. Their son was a typical toddler – very unsure about the Scary Lady with the Camera and appreciative of his snacks and sippy cup. Isn’t he sweet? Thank you Waltz family for […]
The Jacobs family choose a beautiful location and super cute outfits for their family photo session. We lucked out with some late evening sunshine in that beautiful field full of flowers and pretty trees. Happy family. Happy spring. Thanks Jacobs family for a fun evening. #springisintheair #fieldofflowers #familyportraits #jacobsfamily
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 […]
The patriarch of this fun family has a milestone birthday this year. His birthday request was family photos and we had such a fun session.His grandkids are so darn cute and so well behaved. 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 […]
