There are loads of photographers who will capture what you looked like at this point in your life. I want to capture who you are. Right now. The laughter, the joy, the intimate moments between moments. The way the sunlight dances in your son's sandy blonde hair and the wonder of your daughter's eyelashes. Your husband's arms wrapped tightly around your waist in a loving embrace, your delicate crinkles around your eyes you've earned from all of your laughing. These things that make you who you are...at this moment. The REAL you. You are beautiful. You inspire me. Come let me show you.

Prepare yourself for some electric blue eyes. Ready? Are you sure? Oh wow, is this sweet boy amazingly cute or what? Yeah, and the whole family shares in the blue eye awesomeness. I might be a little jealous.
Lindsay and Collin were wed at the beautiful Oregon Golf Club in West Linn, admittedly one of my all time favorite wedding venues. The rich, deep oranges and chocolate browns of the flowers and brides maids dresses reflected the warms and joy of the day. Laughter, happy tears, silly dancing, and sweet declarations of love from family and friends made this day extra sweet. Here’s to many happy years together for Lindsay and Collin!
These two sisters had me hopping and dancing about in this beautiful field, chasing them around in the beautiful angel wings their mama (a fellow photographer) brought along. Between giggle fits, I couldn’t get over the sweetness that these two share. They are so connected, so loving, so polite and so much fun!
- JENNY!!! love these little girls. they mean so much to jason and i . thank you for capturing beautiful moments - LOVE!!!
- these girls are adorable! great capture :)
- I've yet to meet the girls but I've always known their mom to be of the highest-quality human. These images are LOVELY!!
Alliyah and Lee have been married for 2 years already. Their love has grown and blossomed into that deep, meaningful, soul-filled love that comes from knowing your spouse and living with them day to day - good and bad, and loving each other through it all. They came to me for some portraits of them together…steeped in love… connection just as strong as it was two years ago. Perhaps even stronger.

- Cute couple and great pictures!
- LOVE LOVE LOVE these. I'm kind of obsessed with this field, since I drive by it 4 times a day :) One of these days, I hope to get my fam in front of your camera in that field!
Last month I was honored to collaborate with La Fete Event Design on a New Year’s Eve themed inspiration shoot for the bridal blog Style Me Pretty. The details of this shoot were amazingly well thought out and many were DIY projects that Kara and Trista, the owners of La Fete, spent hours planning and creating. The result was nothing short of stunning. Our model, Diana Blakeslee, was so much fun to work with and, wow, does she have a million dollar smile or what? Her classic/vintage hairstyle was crafted by the uber-talented Ashley Rauch of AshleyCheri Stylist and makeup was flawlessly done by Kandi Smith of KSN Makeup. I highly recommend hiring any of these outstanding professionals to help make your wedding day as magical as it could possibly be! You certainly won’t regret it!
Here as some of my favorites from our collaboration. Our feature on Style Me Pretty can be found here.
Cheers to you and I hope to see your smiling faces in the New Year!
VALENTINE’S DAY BOUDOIR SESSIONS have been announced! These are mini sessions to make them more affordable. Give him a gift that he’ll never forget! Find more info on my business page and then call or message me to get on my schedule.
As I looked back over my (neglected) blog, to my horror, I had not blogged one of my favorite engagement sessions! Miranda and Kyle met me in Pacific City, a sleepy little coastal town along the Oregon beach. It’s gorgeous there, but often socked in with dense fog. This day was no exception. The fog was so thick for a while that we couldn’t see more than 20 feet out into the ocean. Thankfully, by the time out evening session took place, the sun was setting and the fog dispersed. It was heavenly! Even the breeze was light, which, if you know the Oregon coast, you know how lucky we were! These two are both teachers who love to play scrabble so we incorporated these two things in with some bright red apples (for the teachers, of course) and an old scrabble game that used to be my parents’ and has been well loved. We laughed a lot, climbed some dunes and I even brought along my funky beach cruiser for some fun shots on the boardwalk. Ah, yes. One of my favorite sessions for sure. I cannot wait to photograph Miranda and Kyle’s wedding at Langdon Farms summer of 2012. It’s sure to be one of my favorite weddings to shoot too!
- Beautiful Jenny!
The class of 2012 is lucky to have Halie among them! She is one beautiful girl, inside and out. She has some awesome plans for after high school too. I love a girl with a head on her shoulders and solid plans to work toward a goal. Go get ‘em Halie!
- These are all great! What a beauty!
I met up with Ann-Marie one cold, crisp, sunshiney day at the always beautiful Multnomah Falls. We hike around all of the nooks and crannies, all the while enjoying the stunning Fall colors. Ann-Marie opted to split her session up into two half sessions; one in the Fall and another in the Spring when the flowers are blooming and the pink buds are glowing on the trees. I am excited to get to photograph her beautiful face again! Here are a few of my favorites from her Fall senior portrait shoot.
I’ve been so wonderfully happy to get the honor of photographing so many sweet families this holiday season and creating images that are Christmas card worthy. That special photo that says to all of your loved ones near and far, “this is us!” The comment I hear over and over from many of my clients is that, when they get their proofs, they really saw their personalities shining through in their images. They loved seeing honest emotional connections within their family and couldn’t wait to share their cards with everyone they love. This is the ultimate compliment to me. I don’t strive to capture what your child looked like at age 5, or what fashion was in style at the moment. My passion is capturing moments that define WHO you are as a family, or couple, or child. That unique “YOU” that can’t be summed up with words, but a picture…a picture can tell the story beautifully. Thank you for trusting me to capture that for you.
