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 […]

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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
Sandra was one of my first friends when we moved to Newberg. Our now middle-school aged daughters were attending four-year-old pre-school together and we met in the pick up line. Sandra is steadfast and determined. She puts her mind to something and sees it through to completion. In the years we’ve been friends she has gone back to college and […]
The Laws family chose a spring photo shoot – a gamble in the fickle Oregon weather. We had to reschedule once and the second session time threatened more rain. Thankfully we managed to get their entire family session finished just as the rain started up again. We even had some sunshine. This was the first time the Laws family has ever […]
It gives me great joy when my clients ask me to come back and capture their family again. I get to see how their kiddos are growing and be a voice telling that family’s story for generations to come. It’s a privilege I don’t take lightly. The Varuska twins are so, so cute. I brought my daughter Alli along to assist me […]
