I've been wanting to share this magical GORGE-ous maternity session for some time now, so what better way to start off 2017 than with this Wahclella Falls maternity session from this past fall? Megan and Todd are nature lovers and wanted a maternity session that reflected their love for the outdoors. I've been dying to shoot in the Columbia River Gorge for some time now, so we picked Halloween and were going to meet at Latourell Falls as it's an easy paved path in, especially if you're growing a baby! In typical PNW fashion, rain was scheduled for that day. NOt just a light sprinkle either, ... read more
Frenchmans Bar Maternity Session-The Melton Family
I've known the Melton's for well..since before they officially became the Melton's! I met Julie shortly after moving to Oregon and have watched her love story to Jason unfold, and was lucky enough to capture many moments along the way! I even did their first maternity session many years ago when they were anxiously awaiting the arrival of Connor. Well now their family is growing again and Baby Girl Melton will make her debut any day now! They were troopers and braved "the storm of the century" and met me at Frenchman's Bar in Vancouver. While the name sounds appropriate for new parents (eye ... read more
Cooper Mountain Nature Park Maternity
I was honored when Rebecca asked me months ago to take her maternity portraits. I knew immediately I wanted to have her portrait session at one of my favorite locations in Beaverton, Cooper Mountain Nature Park! It's the perfect mix of tall grasses, evergreens, and truly Oregonian landscape that overlooks the Willamette Valley. What a great location for a maternity session in Oregon! It's clear from just these few sneak peeks that Rebecca rocked her session, just like I thought she would! Her choice of a red and black poncho, set against the evergreen and fall backdrop was truly stunning, ... read more
Kuala Lumpur Family Photographer – The Hightower Family
When I was growing up, I didn't know exactly what I wanted to be, but I wanted to do something that paid me to travel. That's STILL my dream and well, I guess one could say I'm living that dream. While I don't travel for a living, through my "day job", I have traveled to amazing destinations and my camera comes with me wherever I go. The best part about making the leap to take my passion of photography to a full blown business (I still pinch myself I get to do this!) is that I've met the most AMAZING people. I've gotten to go to some beautiful destinations thanks to amazing brides that hire me ... read more
Oregon Coast Senior Shoot – Senior Horse Shoot
Portland is SATURATED with photographers, it's a well known fact. Lots of creative artistic folk just thrive in the beautiful, lush, electric little Pacific Northwest City. Some people act like it's a bad thing. I happen to know it's actually a good thing because I've become part of a wonderful network of inspiring, genuine, and FUN photographers. One of those networks is a group of amazing female photographers. Once a year, we get together and have a "retreat" which is sort of like a girls weekends with wonderful food, wine and well, LOTS OF CAMERAS! We spend the weekend learning, laughing ... read more
