Jenna and Armando kicked off engagement session season last weekend and it was PERFECT!!  We’d waited a few weeks to get dry weather, and just before Valentine’s Day, it happened!!  We went to Champoeg State Park because these two are practically neighbors with me here in Newberg and this beautiful location was five minutes from […]

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, […]

So guys, we did a thing.  We bought a HOUSE!  In WINE COUNTRY!  And MOVED last weekend, in the middle of that windstorm!  That last part?  Totally not advised.  But the house part?  We are loving it!  We’ve been renting since we moved back up here from California, and last month we found the perfect […]
