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.

Timberline Lodge | A Mount Hood Wedding That Almost Didn't Happen
Their original photographer got COVID. I got a call. Matt and Lindsey were married at Timberline Lodge on the slopes of Mount Hood in 2020 — a small, intimate ceremony on a brisk and windy alpine day, with paper flower bouquets from Etsy, a handful of the people they loved most, and one of the most iconic backdrops in the Pacific Northwest. It was not the wedding they had planned. It was better.
A Wedding at Mt. Hood Meadows | Mt. Hood, Oregon

Hood doing its most majestic thing, and an old college friend officiating the ceremony who I hadn't seen in years. The mountain delivered. So did everyone else.
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.
