Pictures of You

It’s been almost 13 months since my last blog post and just over one year since Lincoln and I uprooted ourselves and our family and moved back to Charlottesville, Virginia. What a year it has been! Lincoln and I joke that we enjoy doing things the hard way and last year was a testament to that. “How […]


Farewell, Portland.

Farewell, Portland.

In June of 2005, Lincoln and I packed up our cameras, our cats, and our few worldly possessions and headed West. Our destination was Portland, Oregon. It was a big risk for us moving from Charlottesville, Virginia all the way out to Oregon. We had no jobs in Portland and no friends or family here, […]


Welcome, Teagan!

Welcome, Teagan!

Lincoln and I are proud to announce the arrival of our daughter, Teagan Marie Barbour. She was born on December 11th, 2014, weighing 5 lbs 6 oz and measuring 18.25 inches long. She was born a little early, at 34 weeks, and had to spend some time in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Randall Children’s […]

Melissa and Charlie, October 11th 2014

Melissa and Charlie’s wedding day was incredible.There were so many personal touches, smiling faces, and an immeasurable amount of pretty that it would be impossible to put their wedding day into words. It’s a day that is best relived through imagery and memories. From the gift that Melissa gave Charlie (a journal that she’d been keeping each […]

Blair and Kevin, August 31st 2014

Moments are my absolute FAVORITE thing to photograph. I love capturing unscripted snippets of life that are unique to a certain time and place. In fact, I think that moments are what make someone’s wedding day truly special. Blair and Kevin’s wedding was filled with so many unrehearsed smiles, tears, and moments of joy throughout […]

Melissa and Charlie’s Engagement Session at Cathedral Park

Melissa and Charlie's Engagement Session at Cathedral Park

The day that Charlie and Melissa met was a great day. They had both just run in the North County Wine Run and placed first in their race category. Afterward, they happened to share a table, struck up a conversation, and exchanged numbers. The rest, as they say, is history. It’s always fun being able […]

Rebecca and John, July 12th 2014

Mt. Hood Organic Farms is, undoubtedly, one of the most beautiful places in all of Oregon. In fact, I think it’s one of the most lovely places that I’ve seen in all of my travels. It is the perfect backdrop to a joyous wedding celebration, especially a celebration of love that spans the globe. Rebecca is an Oregonian and John is Australian. They […]
