Josie and Paula


Paula and I have been acquaintances for year and close friends for almost two years.  It sounds silly on paper.  Only two years? Cause it feels like a lifetime.  In those two years we have worked together. Played together.  Run together. Hiked together.  Worked through disagreements together. Shared our joys and sorrows with each other. Cried together.  Prayed together.  Celebrated together. In two […]

the Simmon’s


I met Carrie at the gym when we first moved to Newberg.  You know when you’re “new” somewhere it feels like EVERYONE knows each other except you?  I felt that way at the gym, but Carrie and her friend Michele said “Hi” to me.  They smiled. Made conversation.  They helped me not feel like such a newbie.  That was years ago. […]

Kaleigh


Kaleigh is a delightful and fun senior (and volleyball player) at McMinnville High School. We had a bright, sunshiny morning for her senior session.  We travelled to three different local vineyards to complete her senior photo session and had a ton of fun along the way. May God bless you in your senior year and beyond Kaleigh. #seniorportraits #tellyourstory #mcminnvillehighschool […]

Travis Family


The Travis Family won their photo session at a fundraiser for Visible Grace, a non profit organization whose mission is to “help children break the chains of poverty by caring for them physically, mentally and spiritually. We do this by providing education and a safe, loving home for them. We have a wonderful staff of people who care for the kids and […]

the Miller’s


I got to photograph the Miller twins as newborns.  Look how much they’ve grown?  Happy birthday sweet babies.  You are so much fun and way too cute. Thank you Nicole and Ron for choosing me to help you document your family as your children grow.  Congrats on making it through the first year with twins too.  That is no easy […]

The Lindell’s


The Lindell’s are such a great family. Kendra is warm and hospitable; Nate is quiet and attentive.  And look at those darling twins! It has been my privilege to be invited out to their home in the country the past two years to photograph their family.  Thank you for another fun morning.  I’m already looking forward to next year. #family #familyportraits #farmlife […]

Those Guidry’s


The Guidry’s are the kind of people everyone needs in their life.  Authentic. Fun. Compassionate. Real.  They open their arms and their home to anyone and are just so fun to be around.  They have become some of our best friends over the past year and a half.  We share meals.  Go to our kids’ sporting events. Drop in unannounced. Pray for […]

Matt


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 […]

Abraham


Abraham is a senior at McMinnville High School.  I met him at a lovely vineyard in the rolling countryside outside of Amity for his senior session.   Abraham’s German shepherd puppy joined us for the last part of his session.  Have a great senior year Abraham.

Ally


I liked Ally immediately.  It’s hard not to.  Her bubbly personality spills out and splashes onto everyone around.  She is happy and fun, easy to talk to, and an incredibly gifted athlete.  She’s playing FOUR high school sports this year, even though there are only three season.  Doubling up this fall with cross country and soccer, basketball in the winter, […]
