This sweet family came racing in from Disney on ice earlier in the day… and they did great – my kids would have been a royal mess if we tried to do family portraits AND another big event in the same day – hah! They did a Fall Mini Session with me last year, too, […]

This year we moved the Fall Mini Sessions from our usual location at Sunny Day Tree Farm to Gabriel Park in SW Portland on a different day (for a host of reasons). Glad we did, because the weather was better and we had some pretty fall foliage colors to work with! Our family loves Gabriel […]

The summer we first moved up to Oregon (and I turned 30) we rented this adorable “small home” in a gorgeous hidden gem neighborhood in Lincoln City for a couple nights. It was the perfect size. Then, we grew (added a busy baby who was on the move crawling + our once small toddler was […]

It seems like just yesterday I was photographing pregnant Melissa with baby Maddie in her belly and then baby Maddie as a newborn!  Not only is it an honor to document your milestones in life like celebrating your pregnancy and documenting those first few days/weeks home with your brand new baby, but when it’s for […]

Last night we had our first Little League practice of the season. Brady has been SO excited for the season to start. This was the first year we didn’t do a Fall sport, but it was so nice since he was starting Kindergarten to allow for that adjustment/transition instead of cramming out schedule FULL of […]

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 […]
