Most of my high school seniors choose to have their portraits taken the summer and fall of their senior year. But every year I get at least one senior who prefers to wait until their senior year is basically over. These portrait sessions feels more like a celebration of the fact that they are DONE. We shot Eric’s mini-session a […]
I met Tiernan because my son Grant decided to try lacrosse for his senior year spring sport and Tiernan was on the team. It was fun to watch them play and finally get to know Tiernan’s awesome momma better after years of being casual acquaintances. We did a quick Cap and Gown mini-session for Tiernan a couple of days before […]
Newberg High School, like many high schools across the country, holds their graduation ceremony outdoors. Seniors sit in chairs on the football field while loved ones sit in the stadium. It’s a great way to host a giant crowd and allow the graduates to be able to invite their family members. The downside is inclement weather. Last year, it dumped […]

Riley is a senior at Newberg High School. His passions, interests and talents are multi-faceted. We decided to showcase them in his senior session and really tell the story of who Riley is in this significant and transitional time in his life. The day of his session was crisp and cold. We started at the high school and did photos […]

Not to mention, I was initially a little lost on how to shoot the session without the usual warm, natural lighting I am used to working with. But […]
Casey is a senior at Centennial High School. She runs cross country, volunteers with the fire department, and loves trees. When we met to plan her senior session, her only request was that her session was outside around trees. We chose the beautiful Columbia River Gorge and had fun exploring Crown Point and Latourell Falls. May God bless you as […]

This year, as one of the co-captains of the team, he led his team to a 35-1 season and a fifth consecutive state title for Newberg High School. He also earned first team all league and first team all state honors. Zach plays hard and with big emotion. In […]
Maddie is a senior at Newberg High School and YES, that is 100% her natural hair color. Isn’t she beautiful? We had so much fun exploring the south waterfront in Portland and dodging rain showers for her session on a typical fall day in Oregon. Maddie loves to read and had some fun ideas to incorporate this passion into her […]
Dane has been a constant in our family’s story since we moved to Newberg. For more of the back story of how Dane and my son Grant became friends read this gem of a blog post that I just unearthed. I NEVER could have guessed the friendship story God would write between our boys over the next ten years. They […]
