I met Jody online. That’s right. We met on the internet. It was instant friendship at the first email exchange. Jody is wicked smart, successful, hilarious, light hearted, athletic, encouraging, beautiful and so much fun. Every time we hang out, I leave our time together with a heart overflowing with gratitude for her friendship. Her fragrance of joy lingers for […]

I slept in Haley’s bed years before I met her in person. #awkward It’s not as bad as it sounds. Haley’s mom Lisa was our Hood to Coast driver the only year I’ve run that relay. She invited our entire van to camp out at their house the night before the race and we crashed all over their house. I […]
Sandra was one of my first friends when we moved to Newberg. Our now middle-school aged daughters were attending four-year-old pre-school together and we met in the pick up line. Sandra is steadfast and determined. She puts her mind to something and sees it through to completion. In the years we’ve been friends she has gone back to college and […]
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 […]
Season and I both work part-time for an event company that hosts running races. When she found out I was also a photographer, she called me to book a session. It gave me a chance to meet her darling family and capture her daughters’ sweet and fun personalities. We met early on a Saturday morning in downtown Newberg for their […]
The Laws family chose a spring photo shoot – a gamble in the fickle Oregon weather. We had to reschedule once and the second session time threatened more rain. Thankfully we managed to get their entire family session finished just as the rain started up again. We even had some sunshine. This was the first time the Laws family has ever […]
Holley needed professional head shots for the website she’s building around her new business as a life coach. When we did her photo session she was days away from defending her dissertation. By the time I edited her photos, she had successfully passed the Oral Exam and all she has left to do is collect her diploma. Congratulations Dr. Clough! Holley […]
Toby’s senior photo session came first. His mom was so happy with the images that she texted, “Family photos are next.” We followed through on a gorgeous fall day. The Jordan’s live on a farm complete with an old barn, llamas, cows and dogs. There is no shortage of fun things for their five kiddos to do. The morning of the […]
My friend Kim sent me a text at 12:22 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon. “I was going to see if you might be up for a last minute extended fam photo shoot today at 3. Our photographer is sick and just cancelled.” The text didn’t mention there were FIFTEEN people involved in these photos. Or that the weather forecast was for […]
Last fall, I photographed Kelly, Jeremy and their two boys. We had fun and one of their photogenic cuties ended up on my business cards. I was excited when Kelly asked me to take their photographs again this year. This time we added in three more family units to account for four generations of Hurl’s! Great-Grandma, Grandma and Grandpa, and both […]
