Josh is a senior at Tigard High School. He plays football, runs track (anchoring the 4×100 relay), and obviously spends time in the weight room because he is ripped. He also just earned the coveted Eagle Scout award from the Boy Scouts and was very kind, humble about his accomplishments, and respectful in all of my interactions with him. This […]
Morgan is like one of our family members. She and my daughter Katie are BFF’s and they are together as often as possible. It was so fun to take Morgan’s senior portraits, especially since I was privy to all the pre-session shopping, planning and scheming. Morgan’s mom and Katie came along to her session, which made a fun night even […]
I met Jody, several years ago and we immediately connected over our shared name, a love for exercise, and our kids that were around the same ages. As good friends do, we talk a lot about our families. We have prayed each other through difficult times and cheered each other on through success. (Also she’s adorable – see photo). Jody’s […]
I love it when my families ask me to photograph their extended family. What an honor to document the heritage, love and legacy of a family. Stephanie and I started the process of scheduling their multi-generation family photo session in early June and somehow managed to drag the process out all summer long. The photos were worth waiting for. They […]
It’s been a long time since I’ve had the honor of shooting a maternity session. Lacey and Don, transplants from Texas, wanted a vineyard photo session to represent the area where they have settled. It was a beautiful tribute to these post-college, no kids yet years and we were blessed to be able to use Bells Up Winery’s vineyard. They […]
I met Peyton in early summer when I took their family photos. My biggest takeaway from my hour around her, was that she was full of joy and sunshine. She laughs freely and is a delight to be around. Working together for her senior photos just solidified my initial impression. I walk away smiling when I’m around Peyton. She’s also […]
We met Nathan his freshman year of high school when he joined the water polo team and immediately connected with our son Grant. Over the past three years, Nathan and Grant have spent a ton of time together, grafting each other into both families and developing a really strong friendship. Now a senior, Nathan is one of the water polo […]
Dude… SENIOR YEAR already. My have you grown and changed since I met you more than six years ago. Ethan, I love the man you are… and the one you’re becoming. Keep smiling. Keep working hard. Keep laughing. Keep pressing into Jesus. Your strength of mind and heart shows through in your character. Have the best senior year. Can’t wait […]
Madison is a senior at Centennial High School. She plays volleyball, is an actress and has a beautiful singing voice. We met in the stunning Columbia River Gorge for her senior session where she managed to fashionably incorporate a pair of pants that her mom wore in high school. How cool is that? Thank you Madison for a fun session. […]
The Donaldson’s were some of my first clients. Amber – a hair dresser – and I have been swapping services since we both were newbies learning our trade. Our initial work was stuff to be proud of, but I will say we have both honed our style and our skill over the past six years. It’s fun to continue to […]
