First thing’s first, friends. Can we talk about this DRESS?  When Jessica and Connor arrived for their engagement photos at Cooper Mountain Nature Park in Aloha, I knew we’d have so much fun with this pretty, pastel, SWISHY dress! I always love when clients dress up a little–first, just because it’s a fun day! Engagement […]

From the minute I Skyped with these two for their wedding consultation, I knew we were going to have fun together!  Rachel reached out to me and said that she loved my work and my story, and when consultation couples say that it usually means that they will be a perfect SSP Couple!  These two […]

Mary and Marcus are getting married SO SOON!  At the end of the month, they’ll get married in Hillsboro and I cannot WAIT!  It’s definitely time to share their beautiful fall engagement session we did at Champoeg State Park in Newberg.  We had so much fun chatting about wedding plans and post wedding plans!  Mary […]

This anniversary session!  I was SO excited when Tasha emailed me to let me know they were able to make it to the anniversary session event I held over the summer!  I hadn’t seen them in three years, but their Columbia County wedding was so relaxed and fun that I knew we’d have a great […]

Engagement sessions are the BEST!  First, I think it’s just always fun to get out and shoot somewhere pretty with a couple in love, I mean, that’s kiiiiiind of the whole reason I got into this!  BUT, I also feel like engagement sessions are just ESSENTIAL in your wedding photography experience!  Whenever I do consultations […]
