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.

The Coopers Come to Bend: An Extended Family Session in Central Oregon
There is something so special about being trusted with a family's memories across multiple chapters. I photographed Sami and Joseph's wedding. I photographed Joseph's sister Rachel's wedding. And now here I am in Bend, Oregon, camera in hand, photographing Sami's entire side of the family — the Coopers — as they gathered from wherever life has taken them to be together in one place. This is exactly why I do what I do.
Backyard Wedding in Bend, Oregon with a Scottish Flair
A full-circle moment, a multicultural celebration, a groom in a kilt, rumplemint shots, a glittery outfit change, and a dance floor that absolutely did not survive the night. Ronnekia and Tyler's Bend, Oregon wedding was everything — and getting to be there for it was one of the greatest honors of my career.
Desert Canyon, Mountain Lake, and a Rainstorm | Andrea + Deion's Oregon Engagement
There are sessions that change things. Andrea and Deion's engagement session at Smith Rock was one of them. We drove out to Bend together, found a storm rolling in over the canyon, and ended the day standing in a lake in the rain making images I still cannot stop thinking about. My camera did not fully recover. The photos were worth it.
