I’ve known this family since we move to Portland in 2015 and have been blessed to photograph them every single year since!! It’s been so fun to watch their family grow. This was 2 Fall seasons ago (I’m playing catch up on blogging…) I love how colorful this session was in one of my favorite […]

For Brady’s 6th birthday we celebrated by having Steve’s Creature Feature come to our house with his reptile creatures. The kids were able to learn so much while touching, holding, and passing around various large and small reptiles (of course with his close eye and assistance). Some reptiles were only allowed to be viewed from […]

We were so grateful to have Granny P and Grandpa Clif (Brian’s dad) visit us from Dallas about 2 months after Noah was born (late Summer/August 2017). Yes, that long ago – hah. I’m playing catch up on life blogging.  We did a few Portland-y things while they were here, like visit the downtown waterfront […]

The excitement I have for the upcoming Spring/Summer hiking season is massive! It seems the last few summers we’ve always had “something” holding us back a bit like injuries, pregnancy, newborn, etc… It seems like this is our first Summer that we’re really ready to just plow through a huge list of hikes/outdoor adventures. We’ve […]

It was a very cold and wet day in the Portland area. We arrived and all I could think was “I really hope she didn’t wear nice boots.” hah! She looked STUNNING and somehow was able to get through the family portrait session NOT covered in mud. Incredible! We had a blast documenting their first […]

This is the second year in a row that when my mom was visiting from Texas we got incredible weather at the coast IN FEBRUARY. It was a fun little day trip with just the boys, myself and my mom. I even got a chance to drone a bit! Of course it was MY kid […]

Summer to me is about filling our time with visiting as many local farms to pick our own produce & adventure in the gorgeous Oregon outdoors. As a Texas girl living in Oregon, it’s not lost on me that we can adventure at all times of the day and (mostly) not worry about having a […]

We enjoyed our second Christmas morning in Portland. I’m so grateful Brian’s schedule had him home for Christmas! I was about 2 months pregnant in these photos. The first couple are from before our Christmas church service, followed by dinner at a friend’s house. Brady asked for a “red speed bike” for Christmas so, that […]
