We met the Huchette’s because our daughters both play lacrosse. We FROZE our way through last spring’s cold and rainy (did we mention RAINY) season. It was so fun for me to take their family photos. I had to laugh at the weather the morning of their session. The forecast was clear skies and full sun. I drove from bright […]
Susie emailed me early in the week to discuss a holiday themed Simple Offering photo session with her kiddos when her daughter came home from college. It all just worked out – their schedule, my schedule, the weather… We got their session shot, edited and turned around in four days which might be a record. I love it when things are […]
Cindy and John celebrated 40 years of marriage this year. What a legacy to leave their children and grandchildren. I had the privilege of photographing Cindy and John, along with their two sons and their families to commemorate this milestone. The morning of their session was abnormally cold for the Willamette Valley, with temps in the mid twenties, but incredibly […]
It’s a rare winter that the Willamette Valley gets enough snow that it accumulates enough to cover the grass and cold enough that it sticks around for a few days. This winter the valley got blasted by five separate storms over the course of a couple of weeks. The result? We got snow that stuck for days, beautiful sunshine, blue skies, and […]
I met Gracie the summer before her 7th grade year. It’s crazy to me that she’s a senior now and about to launch into adulthood. Isn’t she lovely? We got so lucky with the weather for her senior session. It was cold, but sunny and so beautiful for a winter day in Oregon. Gracie didn’t complain about the cold and […]
Photographing my friends is one of my favorite perks of my job. I was so excited when the Zielsdorf’s hired me to take their family photos, but the weather was uncooperative. It rained and rained in the first part of the week, then got really cold and snowed – a rare occasion in the Willamette Valley. The morning of the session […]
The weather the week leading up to the W family photo session was bad. Rain and rain and rain. Then a rare snow shower in the valley that shut down schools and roads because it was followed by freezing rain. Oregonians – at least those that live in the Willamette Valley – don’t know how to do snow. The morning of their […]
We shot the A family’s photo session between rain showers on a moody Saturday. Thankfully the location was their lovely backyard so they ducked inside as needed when it would start sprinkling. Thank you A family for your willingness to roll with the weather. Happy holidays! #winter #family #brick #backyards
When your family doesn’t all live locally, it’s a special day to get a photo with all the grandkids together at once. Unfortunately the reason for their gathering was a death in the family. So sorry for your loss Seaman family. May God bring comfort to you as you grieve and may these pictures remind you of the obvious love […]
I met Tara and her daughter Taylor through the kids program at our church. They served regularly in my daughter’s Sunday school class. They chose to love her, even when she was naughty, and it endeared them to me forever. Taylor now lives in Asia so it was pretty special to get the Tuepker’s together for some family photos when […]
