Justine


Justine is a senior at Newberg High School and one of my daughter’s friends.  She has a beautiful soul, and is thoughtful and kind.  It was so fun to take Justine’s senior portraits. We had a crisp, sunny fall day for her session in the vineyard.  Have the best senior year Justine.  I look forward to seeing the places you’ll […]

Twenty Minutes or Less


The Specter’s were some of my first clients, hiring me in my first year of being in business.  They own Bells Up Winery, a boutique winery in Newberg. Sara is refreshingly genuine, hilarious and smart.  Winemaker Dave is also quick witted and obviously smart because he makes award winning wine.  Both are a little snarky.  I loved them immediately. We […]

Joy


The Sturgis family is full of joy.  It’s what I noticed right away when I met them and their laughter, joy and love for each other carried throughout their entire photo session.  Family is such a gift.  I was so blessed to work with this family who clearly understood and treasured the gift of each other. Thank you Sturgis family […]

Winemaker Dave and A New Car


It’s hard to believe we’ve only known the Specter’s for a few years because our lives have become so intertwined.  Our son works for them, tending their vines, pulling weeds, and any other Man Work that Winemaker Dave has for him.  Grant loves the Shirt Optional dress code, sweating in the sun vs. an easier job indoors, and the flexible […]

Little Brother


There is something about these two brothers that just melts me.  The way they interact with each, their mom and with me is so precious. And that full body hug that Fletcher gave me?  Well that just made my day.  Maybe my week. Last year little Win was not on the move.  This year, he was all over the vineyard, […]

Samantha


Meet Samantha, senior at Newberg High School.  Her big smile is contagious and she is so fun to be around. Isn’t she lovely? We had a beautiful fall morning for Sam’s photo session and we split our time between two local vineyards. Thank you Rex Hill and Bells Up for your hospitality.  May God bless you this year Sam, as […]

Specter Family


One thing I love about being a photographer is the people I meet. The Specter’s are a cool family. They recently bought property on Chehalem Mountain and started a vineyard/winery. From all I’ve heard, they make awesome wine. Set up your private tasting at Bells Up Winery by giving them a call.   We had gradiose plans of showcasing their […]

You Captured the Personalities of My Kids to a T!


Two years ago the Allori’s hired me when I was just launching my business.  It was such a joy to revisit family photos for them now that I have more experience and much better equipment.  The Allori’s have style and they bring it to their sessions.  Their kids are darling and so much fun to photograph. The greatest compliment a […]

Gray Family


Becky and I have been friends for more than five years. It seems like the pre-school pickup line is the best place to meet and make new friends!It was such a blessing to get their family in front of my camera. I mean look how darling they are? Since the the leaves in the vineyard weren’t quite yellow yet, Becky […]
