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.

Evan, Chantal & Eli | Golden Hour on the Oregon Coast with a Very Busy Toddler
The last time I photographed this family, Eli was still a character waiting to be rolled. Chantal was luminous in an emerald dress in the old-growth forest at Oxbow, and there was so much anticipation for whoever was on the way. Now he's here. He's a full person. He has opinions about waves. And watching these three together at golden hour on the Oregon Coast was one of those sessions I'll carry with me for a long time.
Becca, Tim & Family | Light & Airy Beach Portraits in Lincoln City, Oregon
Here's a fun fact: Becca and Tim were the very first wedding I ever photographed. We went to college together, and back in 2009 I was behind the camera for the day they got married — and I caught the bouquet. Fifteen-plus years later, I'm photographing their family of five on the Oregon Coast. Some things come full circle in the most beautiful ways.
