Lauren and Michael, August 11th 2012
Looking back through Lauren and Michael’s wedding photos makes me happy. Simply stated, Lauren and Michael are two peas in a pod. When I first met them, I was struck by how they made each other laugh throughout our entire meeting. I knew that their wedding day was going to be a lot of fun […]
Maria and Brian, August 4th 2012
Every time we have the opportunity to photograph a wedding at Youngberg Hill Inn & Vineyards I’m reminded of how beautiful Oregon’s wine country is. I can certainly see why Maria and Brian chose this venue to start their future as husband and wife. Maria and Brian live in sunny San Diego, California but chose […]
Tricia and Kris, August 3rd 2012
Our summer of sun-kissed weddings continues with Tricia and Kris’ lovely nuptials at Elk Cove Vineyard. Lincoln and I adore this couple and we had a great time photographing their wonderfully warm and personal celebration. Although we felt that we had a chance to get to know Tricia and Kris during their engagement session this […]
Amanda and Jeff, July 29th 2012
If you follow my blog, you may remember the beautiful couple below from their engagement photo session that Lincoln photographed this spring in South Korea. It’s not everyday that we are asked to make such a big trip to photograph an engagement session, but it’s not everyday that you meet a couple like Amanda and […]

Helen and John, July 22nd 2012
When picking a wedding venue, Helen and John wanted to choose a place that highlighted the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Undoubtedly, Mt. Hood is one of the loveliest and most majestic of Oregon’s natural gems. After visiting the Resort at the Mountain, Helen and John decided that this getaway tucked in the Mt. […]

Jenny and Joe’s Excellent (Engagement Session) Adventure
After spending a gorgeous, sunny evening taking Jenny and Joe’s engagement photographs, Lincoln and I learned something very important about this adorable couple: they love to have fun. Whether it’s walking down a beach, dangling their feet in the river, dancing down a long, dusty road, or hanging out in a peach orchard, Jenny and […]
Spotlight 08/03/2012 – The First Year
In their first year of life, babies change so much. Recently, I photographed my friends Kelly and Reny and their nine-month old son, Elias. I was amazed by how much Elias had grown since I photographed him as a newborn. He’s such a happy little guy and he seemed to enjoy having his photo taken. […]
A Portrait Session with the Appel Family
It feels like it was yesterday that I took Aja’s maternity photos. However, it was nearly two years ago that I photographed Aja and Eric while they were expecting their first baby. A lot has happened since then, including the arrival of sweet Bella. A few weeks ago, I had the chance to photograph the […]
Spotlight 07/25/2012 – The Porozni Family
Erin Grace is one of the very best wedding and portrait photographers that I know. Not only is Erin extremely talented, she also genuinely loves what she does and treats her clients well. Over the past 5 years, Erin and I have become great friends. I’ve had the joy of watching her and her husband, […]
Ben’s Baby Portraits
Our summer season is in full swing! In addition to weddings, I’ve also had the opportunity to photograph several wonderful families and I thought I’d share a recent family session with you. Baby Ben was all smiles during his session. It was joy photographing him with his parents, Ryan and Ali, on a lovely Sunday […]

Spotlight 07/13/2012 – Happy Babies
It’s sunny, it’s Friday, and it’s summer. How can this evening possibly get any better? By looking at adorable, smiling faces, that’s how! After photographing four different families this week, I couldn’t help but notice how happy all of these sweet kiddos are. Good job, parents! These are faces of the well-loved. Happy weekend! xoxo
Anna and Jason, June 16th 2012
This next wedding is too lovely for words. I’ll spare you my usual paragraph and will sum up Anna and Jason’s wedding day at Mt. Hood Organic Farms in one sentiment: Magical. Anna and Jason, your wedding day was full of love, joy, beauty, and abundant sunshine. Best wishes to you for a future together […]
Spotlight 07/06/2012 – A Sweet Proposal
As a wedding photographer, I enjoy engagement sessions because it gives me an opportunity to get to know the couple and learn more about their personalities, their interests, how they met, and maybe how they were engaged. During their session, Lisa and Jimmy told us their engagement story. I was impressed by the planning and […]
Lisa and Jimmy’s Engagement Session in SW Portland
As you know, I love it when couples choose to personalize their engagement sessions. It’s a wonderful way to document your engagement and your love story. I imagine that looking back at these photos in 10, 20, or 30 years, the places and people may look a little different, but the story and significance of […]
Spotlight 06/22/2012 – Free Spirits
This photo of Wyatt showing us how the ducks fly across the river at George Roger’s Park is my favorite from this recent family photo session. Wyatt, and all children, remind me of how important it is to have fun and embrace life without inhibition. This weekend, why not set free your own inner spirit?

Thanks for checking out my blog’s new Spotlight post! This weekly post in an opportunity for me to share one image from a recent (or not-so-recent) wedding or portrait session. I’m using this Spotlight as a way to talk about photography, love, weddings, family, friendship, work, or anything that happens to spark my interest that […]

Helen and John live in Seattle but are getting married in the Mt. Hood area this July. Throughout their wedding planning process they’ve had a chance to spend some time in Portland and, when picking an engagement session location, they opted to have their photos taken in the Rose City. As we all know, springtime […]
Baby Portraits at Peninsula Park
Brayden is one of the happiest babies I’ve ever met. This little guy smiled throughout his entire portrait session. I’m guessing it’s because he feels so well loved by his family. Have I mentioned how much I enjoy photographing families? I LOVE it! Portrait sessions like this one are the reason why. They are so […]
Cherra and Bill’s Springtime Engagement Session
Nothing says love like a sweet, springtime engagement session on Sauvie Island. Cherra and Bill are completely smitten with one another and will be married this July at Kramer Vineyards. For their engagement session, they wanted a natural setting and I thought that my favorite park on Sauvie Island would be the perfect place to […]
Amanda and Jeff’s Engagement Session in Seoul, South Korea
