Ava


Ava is a Class of 2022 senior at Westside Christian High School.  Ava wanted an urban setting for her senior portraits. She also wanted non-traditional images – ones shot at different angles and from more trendy perspectives.  We traipsed all over Portland looking for cool spots that matched her vibe and her outfits.  It was such a fun way to […]

Jacob


Jacob is a Class of 2022 senior at Newberg High School.  He plays basketball and likes to hang out with his friends.  Our original plan for Jacob’s photo session was to go out to Champoeg State Park so we could get some rustic/woods photos, but it was raining non-stop the entire week of Jacob’s photo session with the exception of […]

the Farmer’s


The Farmer’s were some of OG clients.  One of their childhood friends took a chance on me and hired me at student pricing while I was building my portfolio and deciding if I was any good at portraits.  They passed my name on to their friend group and several of them hired me.  The best part of this – beside […]

Annabelle


Annabelle is a Class of 2022 senior at Newberg High School.  She is the goalie for Newberg’s water polo team and the girls just won 5th place at state.  Well done!  Annabelle had all sorts of fun ideas for her senior portraits and we somehow managed to incorporate them all: water polo, her Volkswagen bug, some sort of water for […]

Heaven


Heaven is a Class of 2022 senior at Newberg High School.  I remember chaperoning kindergarten field trips that Heaven was on so it was really fun to reconnect with her after several years of not seeing her.  What a gem she is!  This girl is joy-filled – bubbling over to everyone around her – in spite of dealing with some […]

Lauren + Michael


When Michael contacted me and asked me to to photograph his proposal to Lauren I almost said no. I’ve never photographed a proposal before and I got all sorts of nervous.  What if I screwed it up?  It’s not like I can go back and ask for a re-do.  And I also don’t get many opportunities to photograph newly-in-love couples. […]

Hayden


Hayden is a Class of 2022 senior.  Hayden is so polite and easy to be around.  A good conversationalist and excellent with people, he opted to finish the second half of his high school online.  He’ll graduate early and begin pursuing a career in real estate/construction/property management.  It’s so refreshing to meet a young adult that is hard working and […]

Mariana


Mariana is a Class of 2022 senior at Newberg High School.  She is obsessed with her black lab, loves being outdoors, and cherishes the areas where she grew up and has made memories with her family and friends.  She selected those memory-making spots as the locations for her senior portrait sessions: the downtown area of McMinnville where she and her […]

Another Year with the Nanson’s


The Nanson’s hired me my first year in business when I was still offering student pricing and basically learning how to take portraits on paying customers.  Thankfully they came back the next year. And the next year.  This year makes EIGHT years that I have photographed their family. We’re all very comfortable around each other and secure in the expectations […]

Tate


Tate is a Class of 2022 senior at Sherwood High School.  He loves to hang out with his friends and play pick up basketball, but his favorite hobby is lacrosse.  And he’s good at it.  Tate’s defense will most likely land him a position on a college lacrosse team.  Which lucky team is still up in the air.  I’m excited […]
