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.

Oregon Coast Senior Shoot – Senior Horse Shoot

Since I'm about to have my first wedding of the year - YAY! - I figure it's time I continue blogging some of my favorite moments from 2015! I was lucky enough to attend a Wedding Photography Workshop with Lahna Graham of Lahna Marie Photography and I'm still drooling over the photos! About 10 of us met in the most lovely hillside villa near Medford, Oregon and spent two days learning and shooting while Lahna guided us through her process while setting up the most decadent scenes! Not only did I learn and come home with amazing portfolio work, but I also met wonderful fellow photographers! It ... read more
