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 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 […]
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 […]
I had the chance to do another mother and daughter cap and gown session. Sara graduated recently with her bachelor’s in nursing. What a smarty pants! And her daughter Allison graduated from Newberg High School. Well done Allison! These two were so much fun and we had a beautiful morning for their session. Congratulations you two. I loved meeting you […]
How cool is this photo shoot? Mom Holli graduated with her masters a week before Haley graduated with honors from Southridge High School.

Another year with the Williams’ family makes me happy. Their obvious love for each other and the way they enjoy life makes them so fun to be around. Plus take one look at Rizzo, their dog. He’s the handsomest. We always have a good time, in spite of the fact that there are three men who would rather be doing […]
Lucas is a class of 2021 senior and baseball player at Southridge High School. He wanted an urban vibe showcasing Portland for his senior portraits. The day of his session was COLD and foggy, but the sun burned off the fog as we were shooting his session. It was super cool to have multiple backdrops and lighting changes as we […]
Jane is a Class of 2021 senior at Lincoln High School. Like every other Class of 2021 student, she had to adapt her dreams and expectations for her senior year to Portland’s COVID restricted life. She is honest about the disappointment, but still filled with joy and that big, beautiful smile. I loved being around her uplifting spirit and easy-going […]
This is the third time I’ve had the privilege of photographing the Jacobs’ family, and I love how joy-filled and fun their photos are. We had a windy, but beautiful fall day to work with. Even better, Gran was in town and got to join in the photo taking fun. Thank you Jacobs family for trusting me to document these […]
