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 […]

The Jordan’s live on a farm complete with an old barn, llamas, cows and dogs. There is no shortage of fun things for their five kiddos to do. The morning of the […]

Our photographer is sick and just cancelled.” The text didn’t mention there were FIFTEEN people involved in these photos. Or that the weather forecast was for […]
My friend Zora is full of life and love and beauty. She’s also a zesty Puerto Rican and I love her spirit and spunk. Her IDENTICAL twin sister came to visit from the East Coast so we decided to squeeze in a last-minute photo session of them with their kiddos. It was a sunny, warm fall afternoon spent with beautiful people […]
Last year I photographed the Nanson family. Their darling girls were not interested in posed, traditional photographs so we let them guide the session and I chased them around the park snapping photos. We got beautiful candids of their girls and even managed to get a few lovely family photos. This year I had the privilege of photographing their family […]
