Meg and Jay Engaged in LA!
Photographing Meg and Jay’s engagement session was one the highlights of my photography career. If only every day could be like the one pictured below and if only everyone could be so lucky to call Meg and Jay their friends. I first met Meg during our freshman year of college at the University of Georgia [...]
Keri and Dom’s Portland Engagement Session
Personalized engagement sessions are the best. Keri and Dom are getting married in Philadelphia next summer and wanted their engagement session to represent their life here in Portland. With that in mind, we started at their home SE Portland, ventured over to Laurelhurst Park, then spent some time on Belmont Street, and finished their session [...]
Julie and Stephen’s Late-Summer Engagement Session
It’s been a busy year for us. In fact, it’s been so busy that I haven’t had an opportunity to blog many of the wonderful portrait sessions that we did during the summer months. Fear not! I plan on doing a Summer Portraits Wrap-Up blog post in the near future so I can show you [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Libbi and Aaron’s Engagement Session in Downtown Vancouver

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.

Allie and Justin’s Mid-Winter Engagement Session
It may be hard to believe today, as the rain pours down on Portland, but there are quite a few picture-perfect days to be found during the winter in the Pacific Northwest. When I say picture perfect, I’m not talking about a sunny day with blue skies and white, puffy clouds (although, those are nice [...]
Christi and Josh’s Engagement Session at Fort Vancouver
Christi and Josh’s engagement session took place on a gloriously beautiful Saturday in January. It was the kind of day where you didn’t even need a jacket. To be honest, it almost felt like spring! Upon Christi’s suggestion, we headed up to Fort Vancouver in Washington State for their engagement session. What a fantastic location [...]
Goodbye January
I have to admit that, normally, January isn’t my favorite month of the year in Portland, mostly because of the wet, cold weather and lack of sun. However, this January has been pretty awesome; a good balance of work, relaxation, and even a little sunshine. In fact, I’m slightly sad to see January go. However, [...]
Meet My Constant Motivation
One thing that I love about Portland is that it is a city of action. People are constantly walking, biking, hiking, running, getting involved, and making positive things happen for themselves and for others. Among the movers and shakers is my friend, Kelly Constant, owner and founder of My Constant Motivation. I met Kelly almost [...]
Keri and Ricky’s Engagement Session in North Portland
Lincoln and I had a great time getting to know Keri and Ricky during their engagement session at Peninsula Park. Keri and Ricky were high school sweethearts who, during their senior year of high school, were awarded the superlative of ‘Mr. and Mrs. Sunshine’. How cute is that? It’s not hard to believe that these [...]
Melissa and Nick’s Engagement Photo Session in Lake Oswego
A few weeks ago, Melissa and Nick braved the cold and wind with me and Lincoln all in the name of engagement photos. I’m sure glad they did! Oh, how I love this session:) Their portraits took place at George Rogers Park in Lake Oswego on a chilly December morning. All of the leaves may [...]

Shelly and Nathan are not only photogenic, they’re also extremely energetic! These two qualities combined made for a very fun and entertaining engagement session in Portland’s Pearl District.

Is it December already? Whew! November was one of the most action-packed months we’ve had in long time.

We had an incredible journey but, admittedly, it’s nice to finally be home and back to work:) I’m very excited to [...]

Just one last portrait session from the unofficial ‘Peninsula Park Series’ that took place this October… Suzanne and Tom live in Arizona and decided to make a trip to Oregon to visit the beautiful Pacific Northwest and check out the fall foliage.

Oh autumn, how I love thee, let me count the ways. Your warm days, cool nights, golden light, and colorful foliage; it’s the most romantic season, in my opinion.

Angel and Kyle’s Engagement Session on Sauvie Island
Think about your sweetheart. The person whose hand you love to hold. When was the last time you spent time with them in a park, doing absolutely nothing except for enjoying each other’s company? How about the last time you walked through an orchard, ran through a field, held hands, danced in the street, or [...]
