Meet Talia

Meet Talia

Meet Talia. She is sugar, spice, and everything nice. My heart wants to burst with joy just looking at her sweet little face. Talia is the daughter of two wonderful people, Michael and Grace. You may remember Michael and Grace from their wedding in August of 2008. We first met them in the Winter 2008, when […]


The K Family Portrait Session

The K Family Portrait Session

Children grow and change so quickly. One of the best ways to preserve memories of your kids when they are still young is through photographs. This next photo session was a gift from one very thoughtful auntie named Megan. Megan’s sister, Kristin, and brother-in-law, Jason, welcomed their second child into their family last August. As […]


Meet Elodie

Meet Elodie

Elodie is one of the happiest and sweetest babies that I’ve met. It’s comes as no surprise, however, since her parents, Jasmin and Nathan, are two of the nicest people that I know. Jasmin and Nathan are two of the first people that we met when we moved to Portland. It’s hard to believe that […]


Meet Avery

Meet Avery

I’d like to share another family portrait session, starring a sweet little girl named Avery and her two doting parents, Andrea and Scott. This family stole my heart. Some days, it’s hard to believe that it’s my job to document people as adorable as this. Seriously, they are too cute for words! I invite you […]

Family Portrait Session at Peninsula Park

Family Portrait Session at Peninsula Park

I wanted to share another cute family portrait session from this summer. This session took place at one of my all-time favorite parks in Portland, Peninsula Park. This adorable family currently lives in Texas but has ties to the Pacific Northwest and wanted the photos to reflect the lushness of the area. Thank you Jeremy, […]


Backyard Family Portrait Session

Backyard Family Portrait Session

Summer is the best time for a sweet family portrait session.  A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of photographing Jay, Rachele, and their children, Elise and Nolan, in their very own backyard. I had so much fun hanging out with this adorable family, enjoying the summer evening, and documenting them spending quality-time together. […]


Amelia’s First Birthday Party

Amelia's First Birthday Party

Guess who turned one-year old on June 17th this year? Little Amelia did! And I was the lucky photographer who was there to document Amelia’s first birthday party, which was held on Father’s Day this year at Jen and Dan’s home in McMinnville. If you’ve followed my blog for a while, you probably recognize Jen, […]

I wanted to end the week on a great note by sharing this family portrait session with you. The photo of the puppies was too cute not to use as the header. Many thanks to the Sawyers and the Morrisons for asking me to be their family photographer. My sincere congratulations to all of you […]


Meet Baby Amelia

Meet Baby Amelia

I’m completely smitten with Jen and Dan’s baby girl, Amelia Rae. As some of you may recall, Lincoln and I were the lucky photographers that captured Jen and Dan’s wedding on August 9th 2008. What a beautiful event it was! Then, in February of this year, I received a call from Jen with the happy […]


Meet Baby Nicholas

Meet Baby Nicholas

On Mother’s Day weekend this year, I had the pleasure of working with two couples who also happen to be former clients of ours.  Tatum and David, married in September of 2006, and Jen and Dan, married in August of 2008, contacted me a few months ago with the wonderful news that they were both […]


Jen’s Maternity Portrait Session

Jen's Maternity Portrait Session

Jen and Dan are expecting their first little one in just a couple of weeks and wanted to do a few maternity portraits before the baby was born. Working with Jen and Dan reminded me of what a sweet and intimate time this is in life. It was wonderful capturing Jen during her eighth month […]

A couple of weeks ago, I spent a lovely afternoon at home of Nic and Michelle Vernon photographing their brand new baby boy, Dylan. It was almost a year ago that Lincoln and I had the pleasure of photographing Nic and Michelle’s wedding, which made it so special to be there taking a portrait of […]
