WELCOME to the JOURNAL

It’s been a crazy fall family portrait season over here, especially as our family adjusts to life with a newborn!  I’ve TOTALLY fallen behind on my blogging, but as we wind down into December, I’m hoping to catch back up!  I wanted to share this epically Pacific Northwest fall session with you from last month […]

Oh boy, I LOVE it when old clients come back to me to update their family photos.  And it’s even MORE exciting when their family has GROWN since I saw them last!!  Their two girls are about as far apart as my kiddos are, but they’ve made it through the newborn phase while I’m still […]

Let’s talk adorable couples in love.  Lacey & Taylor are IT.  They are getting married next year, and they are working through all of the wedding planning looking like this: her, snuggled in against his chest, or holding hands and laughing, and completely enjoying each moment with each other.  They’re a self-proclaimed super lovey-dovey couple […]

I loved meeting up with this sweet family to update their family photos in time for holiday cards!  We had a fabulous fall day at the Jenkins Estate exploring the botanical garden!

I’m so thrilled to share Emily & Ryan’s fabulous fall wedding at the Green Villa Barn in Independence!  First, can we talk favorite things?  A barn, burlap, lace, and heirloom details are IT!  Emily and Ryan put so much effort into making each detail truly meaningful to them and their families, and intertwined that with […]

It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of summer–the hardest part of my move from Sacramento to Hillsboro was adjusting to the much longer rainy season!  So last week’s unexpected sunny weather for this family photo session made my day!  A sunlit, glowing field with an adorable family to photograph is pretty much my […]

Fall is HERE!  Which means it’s time to think about updating your family photos for holiday cards–and October is the perfect time to book to get fall colors in your photos!  I’m back from maternity leave and still have a few weekend dates in October available for family portrait sessions, so contact me today if […]

Lisa and Jason were married in June at the Lan Su Chinese Gardens in an intimate, sweet ceremony on the patio.  After a week of rain, the skies cleared for a sunny ceremony!  Lisa and Jason are totally meant for each other: both have such kind, relaxed souls and they spent the evening enjoying the […]

Trini and Travis are getting MARRIED in a few weeks at a super epic celebration that includes ROCK CLIMBING!  So, naturally, we had to create some super epic engagement photos!  We met up at Rood Bridge Park so we’d have plenty of space for them to hang out with their sweetheart of a dog.  She […]
