Emma


Emma has a quiet confidence and a beautiful smile.  A senior at McMinnville High School, Emma is also a highly skilled golfer.  We had a great time telling Emma’s story through her senior photos by splitting her session between the vineyard where her Dad makes wine and her home golf course. Have a great year Emma. I’m looking forward to hearing which […]

Kayla


Kayla is quiet and lovely with a beautiful smile and gorgeous eyes.  She’s a talented vocalist too. She chose her grandparent’s farm as the location for her senior session.  Packed with childhood memories for her and her mom, it was the perfect place to capture Kayla in this transitional point in her life. Thank you Kayla for sharing the family […]

Maddie


To know Maddie is to love her.  And I don’t say that lightly.  Maddie is obviously beautiful, but her beauty isn’t skin deep.  She has depth of character. Drive. Grit. Determination. Intellect. Compassion. Athleticism. Humility. Kindness.  Maddie is the real deal… but she’d never tell you about any of her accomplishments. Maddie is a nationally acclaimed track star.  Her 4×400 […]

Hannah


Hannah is a senior at McMinnville High School.  Hannah, her mom and I enjoyed a fun morning exploring downtown McMinnville and the surrounding countryside for her senior session.  My favorite part of our morning is when Hannah took out her violin and started playing in the middle of a creek.  The acoustics were beautiful and I got lost in the […]

Nichole


Nichole is a senior at McMinnville High School.  She’s an injured softball player – such a tough spot to be in when you love a sport so much.  Thankfully she has all year to get her knee ready for her last high school softball season. Nichole and I had a blast exploring different parts of McMinnville during her photo shoot. […]

Kaylyn


I love doing senior sessions and am so glad it’s that time of year again. Kaylyn is a senior at McMinnville High School.  She is soft spoken and lovely, with a big beautiful smile.  Kaylyn raises and shows goats so we made sure to work her goats into a few photos. She is also the most efficient and organized client […]

Edinger Family


The Edinger’s are a special family.  Just ask anyone who knows them. I knew OF Natasha for years.  We worked out at the same gym and had friends in the same circle, but we had never really met or chatted or run together. And then I heard that Natasha and her husband Scott were packing up their young family and moving […]

Haikin Family


The Haikin family is delightful. I enjoyed every minute of our photo session at Champoeg State Park.  Mr. and Mrs. Haikin had an earthy outdoor wedding and as a result have never really had professional photos taken. They just celebrated their 36th wedding anniversary. I’d say they were overdue… 36 years of daily choosing each other. 36 years of raising their children […]

Tori


Tori is a vivacious, creative and beautiful 7th grader. Last year I got to photograph her older brother. This time it was Tori’s turn, save a couple images we shot with her big brother. Isn’t she lovely? Thank you Tori for being such a delight to spend an evening with.     #spring #portraits #teens

Waltz Family


We shot the Waltz family photo session at the always beautiful Jenkins Estate.  It was fun for me to meet them as we share a few mutual friends. Their son was a typical toddler – very unsure about the Scary Lady with the Camera and appreciative of his snacks and sippy cup.  Isn’t he sweet?  Thank you Waltz family for […]
