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.

Sweetgrass & Vows | A Wedding at Red Barn Villa | Oregon City, Oregon
A private vow exchange in the forest before the ceremony, braided sweetgrass bouquets, two Indigenous cultures honored with intention and pride, and a patio reception with tacos from Poblano Pepper PDX that nobody wanted to end. Celena and Tommy Ghost Dog's wedding at Red Barn Villa was layered, meaningful, and one of the most beautiful days I've had the privilege of documenting.
