The Gift of Surrogacy


I know Kamren from years ago when we both worked out at the same gym.  She moved just far enough out of town that we lost touch of each other so I was thrilled when she called to schedule family photos and… (wait for it)… maternity photos for the family she a gestational carrier for!  Kamren is a mom of […]

Playful Beach Photos


This sweet family was vacationing at Cannon Beach for their babymoon.  Our objective was to get playful family photos and we let their pup and their toddler take the lead.  They walked on the beach, dug in the sand, tickled, giggled, snuggled, and wrestled. And their pup? Never let their sweet boy out of his sight… constantly keeping watch over […]

Baby Girl


Oh baby!  I was so happy to hear that Rachita and Kunal were expanding their family. It was such a privilege to see this sweet family twice in a matter of weeks.  Rachita and Kunal are as genuine and kind as they come. They love each other, are great parents, and are just all around fun to be around. And […]

Baby Girl


It’s been a long time since I’ve had the honor of shooting a maternity session.  Lacey and Don, transplants from Texas, wanted a vineyard photo session to represent the area where they have settled.  It was a beautiful tribute to these post-college, no kids yet years and we were blessed to be able to use Bells Up Winery’s vineyard. They […]

And Baby Makes Six


We met Jeremy and Christy years ago when they were newly married and were instantly drawn to them.  They are gregarious, fun, generous, and just easy to be around.  We took them a meal when their first baby was born and have become more intertwined as our families have grown. When they owned a Christmas tree farm, we bought our […]

Those Wonderful Wilmots


The Wilmot’s have a hashtag for their Instagram posts that describes them perfectly: #thosewonderfulwilmots.  I’m guessing it started as a joke because they are some of the most humble people I know, but it is the absolute best description of their family. Just ask anyone who knows them well…. Ryan and Mandee are some of the kindest, thoughtful, smart, creative, […]

Baby Benjamin Maternity Session


I met Erin years ago when she worked at the gym in the childcare area.  When she got engaged to Nick she asked me to shoot her engagement photos. I then had the privilege of photographing their wedding.  It was with great joy that I agreed to do another photo session documenting a big event for them:  a maternity session for their […]

So Thankful We Decided To Do This Shoot


Two years ago I was just getting my business off the ground and I got to photograph the Farmer family.  Their handsome baby boy had the biggest blue eyes, just like his Mom and Dad.  Last week I had the chance to meet up with the Farmer family again – this time to do a maternity photo session for Son […]

Blessed By Her Talent


Kathleen and I went to Haiti together on a mission trip.  We bonded. Life for Kathleen changed dramatically when she learned she was expecting her first baby.  He was LONG awaited and our entire team of Haiti Sistas celebrated with Kathleen and her husband John. We threw her a shower and I took the pictures. (My daughter Alli L-O-V-E-S Kathleen […]

We Can’t Thank You Enough


Rachita and Kunal were expecting their first baby – a son.  They called and asked me to document this big event in their lives. Oregon winters are mild, but the landscape still can look pretty barren.  It’s hard to find beautiful outdoor locations in the middle of February.  And this is Oregon.  It rains a lot in the winter.  We also needed […]
