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.

Dreamy Boise Couples Boudoir Session at 26th Street Studio
Some shoots happen outside with big skies and golden hour light. And then there are the ones where you pull the curtains back in a beautiful Boise Airbnb studio, let the natural light pour in over white linen and a canopy bed, and just let two people be exactly who they are together. Stella and Nathaniel's session at 26th Street Studio was the second kind — and honestly, some of my favorite work I've ever made.
Wind, Waves, and a Very Good Dog: Kari & Rob at Haystack Rock, Cannon Beach

Through Sickness and Through Health: How Seth Became Keisha's Perfect Match
When Keisha's family gathered in a Portland hospital waiting room, they didn't know whether to cry or celebrate. They did both. Because on the other side of those OR doors, her husband Seth — her partner, her person — was giving her the most literal gift a spouse can give: a piece of himself. I was honored to document every moment of this extraordinary day.
Matching Pajamas & Gingerbread Houses | Portland, Oregon Couples Photographer

Sunset Light & Rumpled Sheets | A Couples Boudoir Session
Stella reached out asking for a creative boudoir session that celebrated Black love — real, intimate, and shot in their own space. Sunset light streamed through the bedroom window, warm and golden, and what unfolded was exactly what she envisioned: soft, electric, and completely theirs. This is what it looks like when love gets documented honestly.
Brooke and David: A Surprise Anniversary Session in Maui

Into the Woods, Into the Water | Kodie + Josh | Beverly Beach Couple's Session
Some couples just follow you home. I photographed Kodie and Josh's wedding in Boise, then moved back to my hometown of Portland, and the next thing I knew they were calling me up for a couple's session on the Oregon Coast. That is the kind of client relationship that makes this job everything.
