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
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

It occured to me that summer is in FULL FORCE which means September will be here before we know it!! For most of us, that’s a sad realization, but for Justin and Lorisa, that just means we’re on the countdown for their wedding day! This couple thrives in the outdoors, so they know some amazing locations which makes this photographer very happy! They suggested Horning’s Hideout for their engagement photos… Keep Reading

“Marriage is a mosaic you build with your spouse. Millions of tiny moments that create your love story.”— Jennifer Smith So, I guess it’s been a while since I hit the “post” button here on my blog…my apologies!

What do you do when you’re a photographer who compulsively checks the weather days before every session then see nothing but showers in the forecast, even up until an hour before the session, there has been nothing but buckets of rain? You text the couple and agree to chance it, put on your rain boots, cross your fingers and say a little prayer in your car while the rain impales… Keep Reading

Chad landed his dream job as a shoe designer for a highly coveted brand and Amanda happens to work at the same… Keep Reading
