When Olivia called to book their session we couldn’t believe how many mutual friends we had in common from a smallish town, but we had never met. Until their session, which ended up being so fun!

One of the perks of my job is meeting new people. The Sutherland’s were a lot of fun. We did their photo session on their property on Chehalem Mountain. It was a foggy, fall morning – perfect for capturing the beauty of where they live. Their home has lush gardens and a big field bordered by trees. I had fun exploring the […]
I met Rachita and Kunal when they were expecting their son Aryan. We did their maternity session outside in the late winter/early spring and Rachita was such a trooper, walking through mud in her fancy red high heels so we could get the perfect shots. I brought Paige, my youngest daughter, as my assistant on that shoot, and we all just […]
