I met Bridget a few weeks ago when we met for a bridal consultation and instantly we connected.  I knew she would be amazing to capture but I had no idea that she and Nick would be such naturals together in front of the camera.  I had been feeling that I was in a bit o...

I love capturing growing families and especially when there is an extra special connection. Nicole and I met in high school and our lives intertwined again recently when my son began going to the same preschool as her sweet daughter Mikayla. That said, I was delighted...

This fall I was blessed with the task of documenting the arrival of baby Isla Jo at a water birth center in Portland. Each labor and delivery I have witnessed has been drastically different and uniquely wonderful. Seeing what Mama's go through during labor and delivery...

Kelsey and Josh - It's not every day that you meet a couple that epitomizes everything about young love.  These two began dating in high school, went to Oregon State where she danced,  and just this summer they were married in a beautiful ceremony  at Gallon House Farm...

I had the pleasure of shooting Monica and Matt's engagement earlier this year and let me just say that everything about this session was a photographer's dream.  Completely willing to trek to the Gorge for a chance at epic images, these two were enthusiastic and comple...

 I fell in love with this couple the moment they jumped at shooting at the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge.  All three of us were newbies, having never been to the refuge before.  It’s always exciting shooting someplace new; as it’s a great time to just explore...

I met Kristie a few years ago and was thrilled to hear that she wanted to participate in my spring mini's, and of her engagement to her longtime beau, Nick.  Her mini session became a full session when I couldn't really stop shooting their cuteness in the golden light....

Often times pictures can take the place of a thousand words.  This may sound a bit cliche, but in the case of the Manchik's, the saying holds true.  They are an absolutely beautiful family that I was lucky enough to shoot at the Brood + Tribe workshop in Sunriver, OR a...

I completely stepped out of my comfort zone this weekend by attending the Brood + Tribe workshop in Sunriver with a group of incredibly talented lifestyle photographers.  I was a sponge the entire time, gathering as much knowledge as I possibly could. Not only did I ga...
