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 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 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. […]
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 […]
Bradley is a senior at Sherwood High School. We squeezed his senior photo session in just before the February 1st yearbook deadline.I think we all had fun just winging it at the last minute.

Branden is a farmer’s son. His parent’s farm is just outside the Carlton city limits and has been in their family for decades. Their land has open fields hemmed in by rolling foothills, a welcoming home with a big yard, and large wooded sections with grassy marshes where they duck hunt in the fall. It only made sense to do […]
Trey wanted an urban theme for his senior portraits, but neither of us wanted to dodge the crowds that were inevitable on a beautiful fall Saturday in downtown Portland. So we stayed local and saw with fresh eyes just how urban Newberg can be. Trey’s mom said, What can I say but I love the pictures that are in the […]
My non-biological nephew Kaleb is a senior at South Albany High School this year. He’s a fun guy who loves parkour, hiking and being in the forest. So we went for a hike in the Santiam Forest and he parkoured his way through his senior photo session. It was a blast. I love that his images tell his story so uniquely. Great ideas […]
