I met Sierra when she was a grade schooler playing soccer with my daughter. A few years ago, at an indoor soccer game, her mom told me they were expecting another daughter. What a fun surprise! Little Charlie is a fixture at all of Sierra’s soccer game. It was such an honor to take Sierra’s senior portraits and totally fitting […]
Our daughter Katie celebrated her sweet sixteen birthday this month. I’d been asking her for weeks what she wanted to do to celebrate, but she never formulated any specific or concrete plan. On the Saturday before her birthday, my husband and I looked at each other and asked, “Do you think we could pull off a surprise party in two […]
We met the Waldal’s a few years ago when their son Nathan switched from baseball to our water polo family. It has been fun to get to know them over the years. When you work together at the scoring table, organize food for tournaments, and cheer each other’s kids on, you can’t help but become friends. It was my privilege […]
Jack is a senior at Newberg High School. His little brother plays water polo with my son and that’s how we met Jack’s family. Things I knew about Jack before his senior session: 1. He’s a very good football player. 2. He’s also a very good wrestler. 3. He’s had the same girlfriend since he was a freshman. Things I […]

Ryan and my son Grant have been good friends since 6th grade. They’ve spent hours together dirt biking, water skiing, BMXing, skateboarding, wrestling, playing video games, swimming and all the other Boy Things that I forgot to mention. They don’t play the same high school sports so their time together during the school year is limited, but they live it […]
Madi is a senior at Newberg High School. She loves coffee, her boyfriend Matt, and track and field. She is delightful to be around and a natural model. We had a ton of fun during her senior session. I think we’re kindred spirits on some level because we accidentally twinned for her first outfit. Have an awesome senior year Madi. […]
Carter is a senior at Newberg High School. We managed to squeeze his session in just before the yearbook deadline. It was a chilly but beautiful morning. The Simple Offering is a great option for my senior guys. They can be done in thirty minutes and they still get a minimum of five digital images to call their own. Have […]
Tyler is the captain of Newberg High School’s water polo team, leading his team to three consecutive Oregon 6A state championships. He’s also the best 6A water polo in the state of Oregon… voted MVP in the state two years in a row. Oh and did I mention that he’s one of Newberg High School’s fastest swimmers? I’m happy to sing his […]
