It’s an honor to continually document families and witness their growth. This family has been in front of my camera many many times and this was a special occasion welcoming home their third beautiful child, Fern. We documented some feedings in her nursery and even in the middle of “posed” family portraits. Babies don’t care […]

Go figure that a year later I haven’t even written your birth story. This past year has been QUITE the whirlwind. Having two kids under 6 + solo parenting for 3+ weeks at a time + running two business from home + not to mention all the other blessings and responsibilities on my plate…. keeps […]

One of the prettiest spots in Downtown Portland (waterfront) is during about 2 weeks in the Spring when the Cherry Blossoms are out of control blooming. It’s become quite the popular spot so attempting photos without random folks in the frame is nearly impossible. We ventured down there so I could take a belly shot […]

I’m not one who loves to be on the other side of the camera, but I know how important it is for my family  (my boys will appreciate it one day, right?) and even for myself… it’s a good creative outlet and it reminds me what my photography clients feel and think and experience being […]

So, it’s been a while since I last blogged… over a year to be exact. BUT in that last year I’ve had another baby and we made it a whole year! Having two kids is no joke! Trying to work from home with two small kiddos can be challenging. We’ve done a lot of adventuring […]

Some of my favorite moments with Brady are when I sit down and intentionally play with him. Here he’s playing Lincoln logs and being his silly imaginative self (back in January 2017). What a special sweet boy he is.

We had a CRAZY (long, cold, difficult) winter this year. It snowed and iced several times across several months. It seemed like it would never end. This was the beginning of it so, of course we hurried outside to enjoy the beautiful snow in our own backyard. Little did we know it would snow MUCH […]

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 […]
