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 […]
I met Lisel at the gym. You can’t help but like her. Then we met her husband Todd at the Mabel Rush Elementary School carnival. We ate cold hot dogs together and discovered a joint love for the Chicago Cubs. And they have adorable, handsome, fun boys. What’s not to love?It was such a treat to get their family in […]
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 […]
