Allie and Justin, August 21st 2011
It’s always exciting to travel to a new location to photograph a wedding. Lincoln and I especially enjoy traveling around the Pacific Northwest because the geography and climate vary dramatically, sometimes within miles of one another, and the landscapes are always breath-taking. With that in mind, we’d been looking forward to our trip to North [...]
Melissa and Nick, August 13th 2011
If you love romance, you’re really going to love this next wedding. In fact, I think that it would be fitting to say that Melissa and Nick’s wedding embodied the word romance in every way! Surrounded by miles of grape vines, sweeping views of the Willamette valley, and the smiling faces of their family and [...]
Jo and Ryan, August 6th 2011
Jo and Ryan’s wedding at Youngberg Hill Inn & Vineyards on Saturday, August 6th was full to the brim with so many beautiful and personalized details, I don’t even know where to begin! As someone who believes that weddings are not only about joining two people, but also about joining two families, I feel that [...]
Shelly and Nathan, August 5th 2011
Love. That is what this next set of photos is all about. Love and playfulness wrapped up into one sweet couple that is Shelly and Nathan. You may recognize these two from their adorable engagement session that we did in and around the Pearl District last fall. We had such a great time that chilly [...]
Danielle and Aaron, July 30th 2011
Trying to summarize how exciting it was to witness and photograph the wedding of two people who are not only our clients, but who have also become our friends, is not easy. Over the past year, Lincoln and I have had the opportunity to spend some quality time with Danielle and Aaron. We’ve witnessed to [...]
Carolyn and Paul, July 17th 2011
I will never forget Carolyn and Paul’s wedding day. It’s not just because Carolyn and Paul are two of nicest people you will ever meet (they truly are) or that their wedding was wonderful on so many levels, it’s also because they had to make an unexpected venue change the day of their wedding. In [...]
Laura and Eric, July 16th 2011
This next set of images reminds me that nothing can diminish true love or the human spirit. Just six days before they were to be married, Laura and Eric heard the news that their wedding venue, the View Point Inn, had been destroyed in a fire. With less than a week to find a new [...]
Melanie & Chris, July 9th 2011
Of all of the photos we took on Melanie and Chris’ wedding day, the one below is my favorite. The reason why I’m smitten with this photo is because it’s sweet and playful, much like Melanie and Chris and their lovely wedding celebration. This adorable couple was married at a private residence in Estacada, Oregon [...]
Gretchen and Henry’s Portrait Session in SE & SW Portland
Lincoln and I have been friends with Gretchen and Henry since the summer of 2006, when we all played kickball together on a co-ed rec team. Lincoln and I had just moved to Oregon the previous summer and we were looking to meet new people and relive our elementary school glory days on the kickball [...]
Keri and Ricky, July 3rd 2011
Keri and Ricky are one of the happiest couples I’ve ever met. You may remember these two from their engagement session last December at Peninsula Park. During their session, Lincoln and I learned that Keri and Ricky were high school sweethearts that were awarded the superlative of ‘Mr. and Mrs. Sunshine’ their senior year of [...]
Sarah and Erik, July 2nd 2011
Sweetly romantic. Wildly beautiful. Comfortable and relaxed. These were just a few of the words that came to mind when thinking of ways to describe Sarah and Erik’s wedding day. Photographing this day was like documenting a chapter in the beautiful love story that is Sarah and Erik. They are in love and they were, [...]
Brandy and Adiam’s Engagement Session at Peninsula Park
I absolutely love this photo of Brandy and Adiam. I love it because, after spending an hour or so taking their engagement photos, I realized that this is how they spend a lot of their time together: laughing. In fact, Lincoln and I spent a good deal of their session giggling with these two as [...]
Stephen and Whitney, June 25th 2011
Sometimes I’m at a loss for words on what to write for each post. It’s not because I don’t have any thoughts or feelings about the photos or the people in them. It is simply because I feel that the photos tell a much better story than my words ever could. I believe that this [...]
Libbi and Aaron’s Engagement Session in Downtown Vancouver
It’s been a while since I posted an engagement session on the blog and I have just the one to break you out of your mid-week blahs and remind you that a weekend of fun (a holiday weekend, no less) is just around the corner! Meet Libbi and Aaron. They live in Vancouver, Washington, they [...]
Catie and Josh, May 28th 2011
Catie and Josh’s wedding seems like the perfect post to usher in the first day of summer. You may remember Catie and Josh from their sweet SW Portland engagement session back in March, which included photos in adorable Multnomah VIllage. These college sweethearts were married on Saturday, May 28th, at the World Forestry Center in [...]
Harbingers of Handmade – Meet Hinged Strung Stitched
Just a couple of years ago, I rented a studio space at the Olympic Mills Commerce Center in SE Portland. As I was moving in, I noticed a gorgeous space next to mine that looked like a whimsical art gallery, full of beautiful little treasures that included books, pieces of paper, fabric, ribbons, photographs, and [...]

Meet Baby Miranda
I enjoy having the opportunity to do both a maternity and a newborn photo session for the same family. As someone who loves the stories and relationships behind the people I photograph, getting the chance to document this exciting and transformative time in a family’s life is gratifying. I truly enjoyed getting to know Kendra [...]
Family Portrait Session at Mt. Tabor
I love happy babies. A smiling baby makes me feel that all is right in the world. It’s no surprise to me that Marian and Matt would be the parents of, Olivia, one of the happiest babies I’ve ever met. I had the pleasure of meeting Marian and Matt when I photographed their engagement session [...]
Emily and Mark, April 29th 2011
There are several elements of wedding day that make each one unique. The couple, along with their friends and family, is one factor that is always different. There are also the varying elements like the location and the decor. However, the moments that happen during a wedding day; the smiles, the tears, and the gestures, [...]

Christi and Josh, March 25th 2011
Christi and Josh were married on Mt. Hood at Timberline Lodge on a snowy Friday in spring. You may remember Christi and Josh from their engagement session at Fort Vancouver that took place back in January on one of the prettiest days we’ve had so far this year. After hearing the details about their wedding [...]
Meet Baby Josie
Isn’t she lovely? I’ve been looking forward to Josie’s newborn session ever since mid-December when Mike, Josie’s dad, purchased a photo session for his wife, Octavia, who was expecting a baby in March. Octavia loves photographs and a newborn photo session was, in my opinion, such a thoughtful gift that will be enjoyed for many, [...]
Kendra’s Maternity Portrait Session
I love, love, love this next maternity session. Kendra and her husband Michael are are expecting a baby girl any day now. I had the pleasure of spending a wonderfully relaxing afternoon photographing them, just a couple of weeks before the arrival of their first child. Kendra and Michael are extremely kind and gentle people [...]
