Sydney


Sydney is a Class of 2024 senior… she’s creative. Artistic.  Entrepreneurial. Smart. Has an eye for fashion and design. She wanted a senior photo session that was different… an urban vibe shot in the dark.  Ironically I had been noodling on this exact kind of session and wondering when I could give it a try, so I was stoked when […]

Gavin


Gavin is a Class of 2021 senior at Newberg High School.  Gavin loves Portland so after a quick stop at Newberg High School for some sports photos, we headed into downtown Portland for his senior session.  Gavin is such a well-rounded young man.  He plays football and rugby, works a ton at a local coffee shop, and maintains a high […]

Matt


Matt is a senior at Mountainside High School.  Matt plays lacrosse and loves photography and art.  He wanted an urban themed senior photo session with some sharp contrast in the final images. Matt’s mom was looking for scenic images with fall colors, and a couple of photos of mom and son together.  His cute dog even made a cameo appearance. […]

Urban Fall Photo Session


The Byars family couldn’t remember how they heard about me or got my number, but we were pleasantly surprised at all the little commonalities and connections we had.  I love how a very big world can be made small with just a few touch points.  It was lovely to meet you all and I sure had fun at our session. […]

Grady


Grady is a senior at Southridge High School.  He plays water polo and swims, loves his labradoodle Ace, is a huge Timbers fan, enjoys spending time with his girlfriend, and is deciding between a career in engineering or business. Grady wanted three backdrops for his senior portrait session: water, urban, and forest.  We were able to get all of it […]

Maddie


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 […]

Jaci


I met Jaci through my daughter when they were both on the middle school track team.  They became fast friends.  Jaci’s mom, Dawn, and I started chatting and realized we both liked to run.  We ran together once.  Then twice.  Then weekly.  Then multiple times a week.  Running brought our families together. Fast forward six years..  Jaci and my son […]

Ben


Ben is a science loving, soccer player at Newberg High School. I loved everything about Ben’s Out of The Box senior portrait session(s).  It was pouring the day of his original session, but Ben had arranged to use the chemistry lab for some portraits, so we did that piece of his senior session since it was indoors.  The next sunny […]

What Can I Say But I Love Them All?


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 […]
