Ethan: Class of 2014

I met Ethan at a wedding earlier this summer and was excited to shoot his senior pictures. After getting rained out this past weekend we couldn’t have picked a better night to reschedule. Ethan has found a new love of the guitar and I was happy that he brought it along for the session. Have…

The Edwards Family

As Britney & I watched the forecast for today’s shoot, she told me they were in and would “embrace the rain”. Lucky for me because rain is what we got! Thanks to a tiny break in the showers to start and their giant umbrellas, we braved the downpour together. The Edwards are such a sweet…

Waiting for a Baby Boy

I think this might have been one of my rainiest sessions to date but the Hindman’sย were complete troopers and we made it work! They’re expecting a baby boy later this fall and I can’t wait to meet him. Thanks for braving the rain with me this morning!

The Gobel Family

When you live in Portland, even an unseasonably strong storm can’t stop a photo shoot! Fortunately, we caught a little break in the rain but the Gobels were amazing and came ready to get wet! Thank you for such a fun morning. I always love spending time with you!

Ryan & Mayu

Georgia: 3 months

There isn’t enough space on the page to explain how much I love this family.ย I’ve gotten to know Jessica, Derek & their sweet baby girl Georgia over the past several months and I feel so lucky to count them as friends. I was anxious to see how much Georgia’s grown and she was just a…

Kerry & Mike’s Wedding Day

Kerry & Mike celebrated their wedding day in front of a small group of their closest friends and family. Together they are now a family of four with their adorable twin girls, Krista & Ava.

Charlotte Austen

This was probably one of my longer newborn session but not because of an unhappy baby, it’s because I’m pretty sure I could sit and drink coffee and talk all day with Adam & Angie. I just adore this couple and Adam kept laughing at how alike Angie and I are. Meeting new people is…

Marissa: Class of 2014

I spent this beautiful and sunny September night in the orchard with Marissa. (The lighting was amazing. Love.) Marissa just started her senior year fresh off an exciting summer. She is part of the Oregon Crusaders, a competitive drum and bugle corps and they took part in several national competitions and the world championship this…
