Welcome! If you’ve landed here in your search for a Beaverton photographer, I’m rounding up some of my favorite locations today for family photos in Beaverton, Oregon!

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 […]

This week has been so fun, going through all of last year’s work!  I’ve been pulling favorites from each session and trying to narrow it down so this won’t be a GIANT post, but it’s so hard!  I was blessed with some adorable clients in 2019, who showed up ready to love on their families, […]

This morning, I posted some happy anniversary wishes to one of my favorite SSP couples, Lacey and Taylor.  They got married two years ago at Camp Turnaround, and I saw them just recently for an anniversary session.  I’m so glad they chose to do an anniversary session, and it got me thinking about all the […]

I love, love, LOVE when the family dog gets to come along to a portrait session!  I’ve had dogs my whole life, and since we don’t have one right now, it’s always a fun day to meet another family’s dog and make some portraits!  Molly and Pippin brought their A game to their family’s session […]

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 […]
