One good thing about being in a quarantine is we have more time at home. We definitely enjoy being home, but also love adventuring with a splash of spontaneity. I sure miss exploring Portland in the Spring, but being home more has allowed me more freedom and space to grab my camera and document our […]

It’s always a joy to document my client’s lives, but to do a second Day Session for a family is super special! I love working with the Cronin Family in Dallas. They are down to earth, fast paced, family oriented, good at cooking, always displaying the current holiday decor, constantly quizzing their son about what […]

One of my favorite things about Mackenzie is how she laughs at her children – not in a horrible way, but in a “welp, I did what I could and now look at what they’re doing” kind of way. We should all do a little more of that as mothers. She and I have sons […]

The weather was a little questionable at first as I arrived at the Seabold’s family beach house. A special place they’ve come to for the last 30 years to enjoy life, celebrate milestones, get away for some R & R, etc… Now the (big) kids are bringing their kids! When they asked me to do […]

It was our second annual “Back to school apple picking adventure date” prior to school actually starting (Labor Day weekend). We have a favorite cute little “short orchard” (Bells Orchard) about 15 min from us that we pick our very favorite Honey Crisp apples (b/c if it’s not honey crisp, is it even an apple?!) […]

The past few years we’ve cut down our Christmas tree at Sunny Day Tree Farm in Sherwood. We keep going back… not only for the beautiful property, wood burning fire in their big barn, or Christmas shop where we purchase a new little ornament for Brady’s “tiny” tree in his bedroom, but the incredible family-like […]

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 was a gorgeous (windy), sunny day at Suttle Lake last Summer on our family tent camping adventure in Central Oregon.  You can view more about our family tent camping adventures here and here.   We went out for a family hike/walk along the trail that hugs Suttle Lake and I couldn’t resist drone-ing.  We couldn’t […]
