Elliot


Elliot is a Class of 2022 senior at McMinnville High School.  He plays basketball, enjoys hanging out with his friends, is considering a career as an engineer, and has the best smile.  We shot the basketball portion of his senior portraits at the elementary school he attended. What a GREAT IDEA to bring this piece of his history into his […]

Paivi


Paivi is a Class of 2022 senior at Newberg High School.  Paivi wanted summer light and photos that were “sweet and pretty.” It was wicked hot the evening of her session, but we just rolled with it, sitting in the air conditioned car in between outfits until we stopped sweating and dared to venture out again.  LOL.  Desperate times call […]

Justice


Justice is a Class of 2022 senior at Newberg High School. He’s plays guitar and writes songs, and has a distinct and fun sense of style.  The night of Justice’s photo session, it was SO SO SO HOT (especially for Oregon) with a thick layer of haze from forest fires and no breeze, but he never complained. I have no […]

Welcome Baby Girl


What a difference a year makes!  Last year, this sweet family vacationed at the Oregon Coast and hired me to take maternity-family portraits.  This year they were back.  Vacationing in the same spot, but this time with their darling baby girl.  They said they did the “no rain dance” and it worked because gray, rainy days gave way to a […]

Juliette


Juliette is a Class of 2022 senior at Lake Oswego High School.  Isn’t she stunning?  Juliette is good friends with my daughter so I’ve had the best time hanging out with her this summer.  I was so honored when she asked me to take her senior portraits.  She wanted a non-complicated, simple, outdoor session that included a golden field to […]

The Other Side of the Extended Family


This summer I had the unique opportunity to photograph BOTH sides of Mark and Sarah’s extended family groups.  Mark’s family was in town visiting in July.  Sarah’s out-of-town family was visiting in August.  It was such a joy to meet ALL their family and celebrate with them in how richly blessed they are.  Such great groups of people!  Here’s Sarah’s […]

Faith


Faith is a Class of 2022 senior at Veritas High School.  She loves theatre and choir and hopes to pursue an education to become a teacher.  Faith’s mom and I were in MOPS together with our girls were in pre-school so it was super fun to get reacquainted and be asked to take her senior portraits.  We did some urban […]

Jordan


I met Jordan when she was 4 years old.  Her mom Milly and I were both in the 4 year old preschool line, anxious about dropping our babies off at school for the first time, and we struck up a conversation.  Before we knew it, coffee dates and play dates became part of families’ routines. Our friendship has spanned 14 […]

Kati

A highly decorated athlete, Kati plays soccer, basketball and softball.  Her softball skills have earned her a slew of All League and All State honors and she still has a year of high school left.  Kati is also a member of […]

Oliver Springs Vineyard


Stephanie and Jim own Oliver Springs Vineyard in Newberg.  I got to take photos of them in their vineyard with their wine AND their fur babies.  We had beautiful light, beautiful people, beautiful dogs, and delicious wine.  What’s not to love?  If you’re in Newberg/Dundee and want to taste some incredible wine, give them a call to set up a […]
