Hawney Family


Jessica was my daughter’s second grade teacher. Jessica was a God-send for my girl – a cheerleader and advocate for her when she needed one most. I will forever be grateful for the kindness and love she gave my girl. I know many families at Mabel Rush Elementary could tell the exact same story.Thank you Jess for sharing yourself with […]

Pothoff Family


When Olivia called to book their session we couldn’t believe how many mutual friends we had in common from a smallish town, but we had never met. Until their session, which ended up being so fun!  It started raining as soon as I arrived so we winged the entire session – some shots under the shelter of the porch of their […]

Oh these Nanson’s… Aren’t they adorable? This is the third year in a row that I’ve been blessed to be their photographer. Their girls just keep getting cuter and spunkier. I love watching them grow.Enjoy your photos Nanson’s.       Lynne said, You did it again, for the third year in a row! You can dress them up….but you can’t […]

Budd Family


To know the Budd family is to love them. Just ask any of their hundreds of friends. They bring fun and joy and authenticity everywhere they go.  I’ve known Abbie for years and celebrated with their family when they brought Ruby home. Abbie and John also have a beautiful love story. Their love and admiration for each other is obvious.It was […]

Menke Family


The Menke Family means so much to me and my family.  They have embraced all six of us like we are their own flesh and blood, loving us, including us, and just enriching our lives.  It was an honor to photograph Ann and Doug with their two lovely children and their families. Ann insisted that I bring my entire crew […]

Congratulations!I can’t get over how giant those leaves were and how vibrant the color is. Enjoy your photos Williams Family. Tammy said, These are […]

You Did an Amazing Job With These


I met the Monroe Family for their photo session at a pretty neighborhood park in Beaverton.  Their son Abraham was about to celebrate his first birthday, so we took some one year portraits and some family portraits.  Isn’t he cute?  He even let me hold him while I was taking a few pictures of just his Mom and Dad.  I […]

Lawson Family


My Simple Offering is short and sweet – a quick snapshot of where a family is at for the year. It’s perfect for families who just want a handful of images for their holiday card or to hang on their wall.The Lawson’s are good friends. It’s easy to be around them and our girls are all friends. It was fun […]

Wolf Family


The Wolf family photo sessions are such a treat for me. I love being outside and hope to one day move out of the city and onto a tiny farm. To get to visit them on their GIANT family farm that has been part of their heritage for decades and photograph them on the land they love? Well, that is […]

Hall Family


I first met Jason and Melissa when they were expecting Eleanor.  Once Eleanor was born, we all fell in love.  She is so darling – happy, engaging, curious and snuggly.  Plus her big blue eyes just melt you.  It was a lot of fun to do their family photo session at Champoeg State Park.  We had a magical, foggy morning […]
