I met Jody, several years ago and we immediately connected over our shared name, a love for exercise, and our kids that were around the same ages. As good friends do, we talk a lot about our families. We have prayed each other through difficult times and cheered each other on through success. (Also she’s adorable – see photo). Jody’s […]
I love it when my families ask me to photograph their extended family. What an honor to document the heritage, love and legacy of a family. Stephanie and I started the process of scheduling their multi-generation family photo session in early June and somehow managed to drag the process out all summer long. The photos were worth waiting for. They […]
It’s been a long time since I’ve had the honor of shooting a maternity session. Lacey and Don, transplants from Texas, wanted a vineyard photo session to represent the area where they have settled. It was a beautiful tribute to these post-college, no kids yet years and we were blessed to be able to use Bells Up Winery’s vineyard. They […]
I met Peyton in early summer when I took their family photos. My biggest takeaway from my hour around her, was that she was full of joy and sunshine. She laughs freely and is a delight to be around. Working together for her senior photos just solidified my initial impression. I walk away smiling when I’m around Peyton. She’s also […]
Dude… SENIOR YEAR already. My have you grown and changed since I met you more than six years ago. Ethan, I love the man you are… and the one you’re becoming. Keep smiling. Keep working hard. Keep laughing. Keep pressing into Jesus. Your strength of mind and heart shows through in your character. Have the best senior year. Can’t wait […]
Madison is a senior at Centennial High School. She plays volleyball, is an actress and has a beautiful singing voice. We met in the stunning Columbia River Gorge for her senior session where she managed to fashionably incorporate a pair of pants that her mom wore in high school. How cool is that? Thank you Madison for a fun session. […]
The Donaldson’s were some of my first clients. Amber – a hair dresser – and I have been swapping services since we both were newbies learning our trade. Our initial work was stuff to be proud of, but I will say we have both honed our style and our skill over the past six years. It’s fun to continue to […]
I’ve known Sophie since she was in 2nd grade. It’s hard to wrap my head around the fact that all these darling little girls have morphed into stunning beauties about to enter their senior year. Sophie wanted water for her photos. We had to scout around a bit to find a perfect setting, but we crushed her vision. She was […]
The Specter’s were some of my first clients, hiring me in my first year of being in business. They own Bells Up Winery, a boutique winery in Newberg. Sara is refreshingly genuine, hilarious and smart. Winemaker Dave is also quick witted and obviously smart because he makes award winning wine. Both are a little snarky. I loved them immediately. We […]
Nanci is a talented photographer. We’ve traded family sessions the last two years and I always get so nervous to photograph a photographer. After all, she’s a professional. GAH! But her family – all boys – is hilarious and fun. They set me up with the best candids, which are always my favorite and the images I gravitate toward. Life […]
