Let me start by saying this Summer Family Portrait Session was a DREAM. 1. It was one of my favorite clients. 2. It included a puppy! 3. It was on an Oregon vineyard in the Willamette Valley at sunset in the Summer. It doesn’t get much better!!! Will is a winemaker (Violin Wines). He’s pretty […]

Last Spring a dear client of mine asked me to do a back deck family photo shoot at a home she was selling. This was her first home when she moved to Portland and it held a special place in her heart so she wanted to document it one last time. It had ironically snowed […]

Something I’ve come to REALLY appreciate about the Portland, OR area is the incredibly beautiful layers of Spring. Certain trees/shrubs will bloom for a couple weeks and then once they’re done another kind will start blooming so as to make up for the sadness of the already-bloomed tree being done completing it’s show. I get […]

We venture down to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival every year…. Some years we are blessed with incredible weather, other years it’s surprisingly cold and super windy or massively muddy. Most years it’s windy haha… Last year (2022) was VERY windy and cold, but my kids toughed it out and we had a lot of […]

What a fun session! These sweet sets of grandparents had so much fun with their adventurous grandchildren amongst the blooming rhododendrons and giant trees at a local park in Portland last Spring. It was still a tad chilly out, but you’d have no idea since the sweet little girl was running around barefoot and even […]

Camellias are my absolute favorite blooming shrub. I hail from Texas and we don’t have many of these, so I’m quite OBSESSED when they start blooming here in Portland in April. The first time I saw one blooming I thought it was some interesting looking rose… spoiler alert, it’s not! I walk around our neighborhood […]

This family is so fun to photograph. I did their maternity session at this same location the year before and it was a blast. This family was such a good sport as we stomped around in the rain for their Fall Family Mini Session at one of my beloved spots in Tigard. When it comes […]

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 […]
