WELCOME to the JOURNAL

The week of catching up on wedding blogs continues!!  Next up is Kailey and Andrew’s wedding in St. Helens.  Their engagement session at Champoeg State Park was super fun and I was so excited for their big day!  They started the day by getting ready at a family friend’s house, where they had their first […]

Pink and gold!  AHHH!  My favorites!  There was so much fun sparkly details to this wedding!  From the fabulous pink and gold cake to the gold sequined tablecloths–I knew when Lindsey told me about these colors that I HAD to photograph this wedding!  Pink and gold were my wedding colors when I got married in […]

Sorry, friends.  I obviously fell down on blogging this winter!  I tend to post weddings right away on Facebook and then dive into editing to get my couples their wedding photos back quickly, but I know they’re waiting for their blog posts too!  I’m doing some catching up this week, and I’m so excited to […]

If you follow me on Facebook, you’ve seen photos from Camille and Michael’s fabulous Thanksgiving-weekend wedding at Troutdale House, but I just realized I never shared them here!!  What???  I blame the holidays.

It’s October, which means family portrait season is in FULL SWING over here!  Today’s post is a throwback to the start of my fall season.  This family came to me in September to update their family photos, and we chose Champoeg State Park just south of Newberg for our location.  We started in the gardens, […]

It’s October and wedding season is slowing down, which means I have a chance to blog some of the fabulous things I’ve been up to these last few months!  First up is this totally gorgeous engagement session from early August.  Hailey and Jeremy planned a small courthouse wedding, and wanted to have some portraits done […]

I met up with this family a few weeks ago–both sets of grandparents were in town, so it was time for some family photos!

When we first started planning their engagement session, Shellie and Kevin wanted to be sure we’d be someplace where we could show their love of the outdoors–especially somewhere near the water.  We chose Champoeg State Park for their barn, garden, and river access–and what a fun time we had there!
