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 […]
It’s a rare winter that the Willamette Valley gets enough snow that it accumulates enough to cover the grass and cold enough that it sticks around for a few days. This winter the valley got blasted by five separate storms over the course of a couple of weeks. The result? We got snow that stuck for days, beautiful sunshine, blue skies, and […]
McKenna’s “little” brother has been good friends with my son since we moved to Newberg more than eight years ago. The family resemblance is strong! I’m so used to relating to McKenna’s family via Raleigh and water polo that it was strange and super fun to spend time with McKenna and her mom doing something unrelated to water polo. McKenna […]
I met Gracie the summer before her 7th grade year. It’s crazy to me that she’s a senior now and about to launch into adulthood. Isn’t she lovely? We got so lucky with the weather for her senior session. It was cold, but sunny and so beautiful for a winter day in Oregon. Gracie didn’t complain about the cold and […]
Nate is a senior at Newberg High School. He didn’t want a big, long senior session, but he did want some cool senior portraits. The Simple Offering was perfect for him. We did a quick 30 minute photo session. He had enough time to change once and still use several different backgrounds. His five images capture who he is and tell his […]
I’ve watched Matt grow up. It’s crazy to me that he’s a senior now and isn’t he handsome? Those freckles, blue eyes, and big smile… Matt always knows how to make me laugh with his mischievous smile and antics. He’s athletic, fun, and a total dare devil. Matt plays football, wrestles, and runs track. By the end of this year, he’ll […]
To know Maddie is to love her. And I don’t say that lightly. Maddie is obviously beautiful, but her beauty isn’t skin deep. She has depth of character. Drive. Grit. Determination. Intellect. Compassion. Athleticism. Humility. Kindness. Maddie is the real deal… but she’d never tell you about any of her accomplishments. Maddie is a nationally acclaimed track star. Her 4×400 […]
