    The Gorman's: A Cooper Mountain Maternity

    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 when she asked me to document the arrival of their second child, Ryder - now already a month old! Each time I photograph a maternity session I fall more in love with the process. And seriously, how could I not?!

    Baby Leo: A Lifestyle Newborn

    Truth be told I don't shoot that many newborns. In part because I attempted shooting my son when he was born and the whole experience brought me to tears. Perhaps it was the sleepless nights or the fact that I couldn't get the swaddle just right. Regardless, it was a mess. That said, I've evolved creatively since the birth of my son in 2016. As you can see from my recent work, I'm loving lifestyle sessions as they capture families in their natural environment. Below is a

    Sierra and Corey: A Tualatin River Engagement

    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, get to know a couple more, and see what images we can create together. Here are a few of my favorites from these lovebirds and their two precious littles. Their chemistry is undeniable and the love they have f

    The Manchiks: A Sunriver Family

    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 few weeks ago. I believe these images capture some of their love story (at least I hope so!) with their amazing little guy, Lev. Enjoy. #baby #rustic #scenic #love #romance #family #couples #portraits #marria

    Cassy & John: A Sunriver Maternity

    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 gain tons of technical skills that I can't wait to implement, but the shared wisdom, support, and true sense of community leaves me rejuvenated and motivated to continue on this creative journey. Here are a few o

    Alexiya & Dan: A Pittock Mansion Maternity

    Alexiya and Dan contacted me this fall for a maternity session in celebration of their daughter's arrival (Alaiya Jae due this March), and I am so BLESSED that they did! They are such a lovely, sweet couple, who were enthusiastic about shooting up at the Pittock Mansion two weeks ago. These two lovebirds were funny, positive, and their connection palpable. They braved the frigid December temps and rocked it for the sake of some great pictures! Congratulations again you guys

    Ashley & Alex: A Sauvie's Island Maternity

    I was lucky enough to meet Ashley and Alex a year ago for their one-year anniversary shoot. We had a blast romping around a lavender farm capturing romantic moments. A year later, and they are still the sweetest, most loving couple (but with an exciting addition!) Needless to say, it was an easy YES when they asked me to do a maternity shoot on Sauvie's Island last month. I am beyond excited for the arrival of their baby girl later this summer. Alex and Ashley, welcome to
