Hi, come in. This is where I share the full stories behind the sessions, and if you read enough of them, you'll start to notice something: a lot of the same names keep showing up. Engagements turn into weddings turn into maternity sessions turn into family photos with three kids and a dog. After fifteen years of this work, my favorite thing is that I rarely get to say goodbye to anyone. I just get to see them again in a new chapter. These are those chapters.

A Quiet, Intimate Elopement at the Foxtrot in Portland, Oregon
The Foxtrot on SE Belmont is a 130 year old Victorian with cozy gothic vibes, an exceptional cocktail program, and a reportedly haunted kitchen. It is also where Ashley and Andy got married, in front of a pink velvet couch, surrounded by their closest friends. Honestly the most on brand elopement I have ever photographed.
