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 […]

You Captured the Personalities of My Kids to a T!


Two years ago the Allori’s hired me when I was just launching my business.  It was such a joy to revisit family photos for them now that I have more experience and much better equipment.  The Allori’s have style and they bring it to their sessions.  Their kids are darling and so much fun to photograph. The greatest compliment a […]

Gray Family


Becky and I have been friends for more than five years. It seems like the pre-school pickup line is the best place to meet and make new friends!It was such a blessing to get their family in front of my camera. I mean look how darling they are? Since the the leaves in the vineyard weren’t quite yellow yet, Becky […]

They Are All So Incredibly Beautiful!


Oh these Donaldson’s.  How I adore them.  I met Amber in the pre-school pickup line when my family was new to Oregon and miserably lonely.  Her beautiful smile and hospitable personality were a life line to our family that was craving community. It’s been seven years.  In that time our kids have grown from pre-school to middle school.  Amber and I have grown too. […]

Cherished for Many Years to Come


The Lindell family invited me and my daughter Alli (who is an Expert with Small Children) out to their sanctuary in the country to photograph them where they live.  The setting was incredible and we had a warm, summer evening with beautiful fading light to work with.  It was impossible not to fall in love with Lucy and Karson, their […]

The Year of Beating Breast Cancer is Here


Robin and I met at the gym when I was still fresh to living in Oregon and needing friends.  I liked her immediately. She’s almost always wearing a smile and she gives amazing hugs.  People are drawn to her.  I was no exception.  But our schedules and life phases were vastly different so for years we’d wave and smile at […]

Taylor Family


Mary Kay and I met because we both went to Haiti on a missions trip in 2011. The friendships that formed out of that trip have been life changing. Mary Kay is one of my Haiti “Sistas.” Mary Kay is brimming over with godly wisdom and she spills joy and laughter everywhere she goes. She is generous and kind. Thoughtful. […]

Filkins Family


I met Jody online.  That’s right.  We met on the internet.  It was instant friendship at the first email exchange. Jody is wicked smart, successful, hilarious, light hearted, athletic, encouraging, beautiful and so much fun.  Every time we hang out, I leave our time together with a heart overflowing with gratitude for her friendship.  Her fragrance of joy lingers for […]
