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.

Andreas & Louise | An Urban Engagement Session Through the Heart of Downtown Portland
Andreas and Louise wanted classic, urban, Portland — the city they've both come to love and call home. So we walked it. The waterfront with the Hawthorne Bridge stretching behind them. The public docks. Keller Fountain Park. The murals in the Park Blocks. The steps outside the Portland Art Museum. And somewhere along the way it became clear that these two have absolutely been taking dance classes — the spins, the dips, the easy way they moved together — because they were good. July cannot come fast enough.
Three Generations | Andrea, Deion & Myla's Family Session in Clackamas County, Oregon
I've been with Andrea and Deion through a lot of chapters — the engagement, the wedding, the maternity session. Now there's Myla, a baby with the best smile and a pink stuffed elephant nearly as big as she is, and the whole family gathered in the fall color of a Clackamas County park to be photographed together. Three generations, one perfect afternoon.
