Carley is three! This bright, beautiful and curious little girl is so much fun to shoot. She loves to explore, climb, dance and she’s always laughing and smiling.

Family | The Hideghety Family
I wish I could spend every evening hanging out with the Hideghety family. I adore them and love that over the years they have also become friends. Kaia greeted me with the biggest hug and Carter is full of the cutest little smiles. They recently moved to a new home and it was really fun…
Family | The Hess Family
This lovely family was recently visiting Portland from Utah. Their son and his partner relocated here this summer and they all came up to visit.

Seniors | Mason
I wasn’t supposed to shoot Mason’s senior pictures but after his original photographer wasn’t available anymore, I was lucky enough to step in.
