Modern wedding and portrait photography on the West Coast and Portland area
They say a little rain is good luck on your wedding day, and photographers say overcast skies are perfect for photos, so this sweet couple had the perfect combination when they got married a few weeks ago at the Dundee Lodge in Gaston! I’ve so enjoyed getting to know Justin and Lorisa, an adventurous couple who met while playing cards with friends 7 years ago! They are madly in love… Keep Reading
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… 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 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… Keep Reading
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… Keep Reading
You know that day in November in Portland where you are so thankful that it’s not raining, despite it being almost freezing? A day when the sun shines all afternoon and the light is perfect and your clients show up color coordinated and they’re beautiful? Yah, that kind of day brings many smiles to a photographers face! I had a great time meeting up with the M family in the… Keep Reading
Well, seeing as it’s already September in 2015, I feel it’s about time to share a few of my family photographer session from LAST YEAR! Ok, so they were late last year, but if that’s any indication of how busy 2015 is? Yah, that says alot! I told myself that when I have some downtime, I’ll get a couple blog posts up and well, in between last weekends wedding in… Keep Reading
It’s hard to believe it was MONTHS ago that I ran down to my former hometown of San Diego for some wonderful family photography sessions! It’s been a BUSY few months for me. Once summer ended and my travels came to a halt for a bit, the husband and I bought our first house and closed right before the end of 2014!! What an OVER THE TOP exciting year!! We’ve… Keep Reading
The Byrnes family is another wonderful family I met through this amazing organzation. I’m sure they’re having a hard time believing their youngest, Joseph Jr. is graduating from high school this year, just as I have a hard time believing they have college age children! I met Joseph Jr. and his dad up at Chambers Bay around sunset. I had driven by Chambers Bay back in September after this photo… Keep Reading
I like to call M and her folks my first clients, as they were the family that marked my portfolio building last year. I feel I’ve come a long way since then, and every time I see M, I just can’t believe how much she’s grown since the last session! Every session, she gets a little more into having me and my camera up in her space and this past… Keep Reading
October was sure a busy month for me! It was not only great weather, but that perfect time for the Northwest fall to shine. The leaves were unreal and the beautiful afternoon light made for such great photo sessions! I had a great time seeing photographing the proud parents to be back in January, and now the TWINS are already over 6 months. Time certainly flies, especially when there are… Keep Reading
I’m not sure how 2014 is just days away from us, but if I have a hard time believing that, then Julie and Jason are probably even more in shock! It’s been a busy year for these two, as just about a year ago, I was taking their engagement photos in the wine country. A few months ago, I was honored to take maternity photos for Julie and her hubby… Keep Reading
I think what I love most about the Sigler family’s session is that when I go back to view the photos, I feel like I’m right there again, just spending the afternoon hanging out and capturing moments. I think I can actually hear Morgan laughing and happily chatting away in some of them. They wanted a session where they are most comfortable-at home. It was really a “day in the… Keep Reading
