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 [...]

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.

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 [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
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.

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 [...]

Brittney and Andrew’s Engagement Session in the South Park Blocks
Is it December already? Whew! November was one of the most action-packed months we’ve had in long time. This last month has been filled to the brim with family, friends, weddings, celebration, and travel.

Jenny and Michael’s Early Autumn Engagement Session
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 [...]

Cicely is one of my very best friends in the whole world. She and I met way back in sixth grade at Walker Upper Elementary School and we have been close friends ever since. We’ve experienced so much together in the 18 years that we’ve known each other and I feel fortunate to have someone [...]
Leah and John’s Engagement Session in Roseburg, Oregon
Just a couple of weeks ago, I drove down to Roseburg, Oregon to photograph Leah and John’s engagement portraits. It’s not often that I have the opportunity to travel for engagement portrait sessions but, when I do, I always find it inspiring. What makes this next set of photographs really special, however, is that the [...]
Rachel and Jason’s Engagement Photo Session in SE Portland
There are many reasons why I love Spring. To name a few, the days grow longer, the trees and flowers start to bud, and the sun comes back to the Great Pacific Northwest. Many of our clients choose to do their engagement photo sessions in the springtime, which is another reason that I love this [...]
