Modern wedding and portrait photography on the West Coast and Portland area
The other day I was talking to a coworker about her upcoming wedding that she’s been planning for almost a year. “I still have 4 months left and now it feels like I’m just waiting around!” she exclaimed and then sighed. Now, I’m all for taking as long as you need for an engagement (my husband and I were engaged about 8 months before our wedding) but I love it… Keep Reading
I’m so excited to share a sneak peek at this NE Portland wedding! You know the wedding is going to be amazing when the engagement photos were an adventure that included sliding down coastal sand cliffs, walking barefoot on boulders to get close to crashing ocean waves and so much laughter and smiles you feel like you’ve known the couple for ages. Enter Alicia and Anthony, the sweetest couple who… Keep Reading
I remember the day I went into labor so very clearly. It’s obviously a day I’ll never forget, right up until my sweet sweet epidural started really kicking in. Then things got a little hazy and from that point on, it was one big blur until the moment our little girl arrived. I didn’t know how badly I wanted a birth photographer until I had one and luckily the amazingly… Keep Reading
I had so much fun with Christmas mini sessions last year, and back by popular demand, they’re back for 2018!! I can’t resist beautiful christmas trees, wonderful families and adorable Christmas outfits! Just like last year, I plan to GIVE BACK as part of the session fee. This year’s donation will help to support a few families affected by the Northern California wildfires. I can’t imagine losing my home, let… Keep Reading

“Anyone can prove you existed at one time. That’s what these are for (holds up a phone) It’s our JOB to capture emotion.” Anni Graham, said recently at the Let’s Go Workshop I attended last week in Pacific City. I’m a believer in education in any field, especially one like photographer where it’s like a black hole for how much there is to learn. This industry can take a toll… Keep Reading

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 had a great time meeting up with the M family in the… Keep Reading
I joke I was born with a passport in my hand. I LOVE to travel. LOVE. I love exploring new places, whether it be the middle of Texas or a completely new continent overseas. To me, there’s nothing like experiencing new places places, scents, and sounds first hand. I am so fortunate that my parents helped instill that love of travel in me early on and that I have been… Keep Reading
As I sit here watching the grey clouds and buckets of rain from the window here in Portland, it’s hard to believe that just three weeks ago I got to be the photographer for this sweet family in DuPont, Washington on a sunny and warm day! Summer is clearly over here in the Pacific Northwest! I was so lucky to not only have a great day for photography, but to… Keep Reading
