The Monterossi Family

When you live in Oregon, you’re bound to do some shoots in the rain and today was one of those days. It was pouring outside but the Monterossi family braved the weather to get some great shots and sweet little Megan was ready to go in her rain boots and owl umbrella. Here’s some of…

Home for Thanksgiving

With two of the McMahan children in college, their Mom and I have been planning this Thanksgiving shoot for awhile. I was so happy that the weather cooperated. They were so much fun and we had a great time exploring the Pearl District together. After several sessions recently with young children, I actually found myself…

Lakeside with the Whites

It was a beautiful Thanksgiving morning along the lake at George Rogers Park and I was lucky enough to spend it with the White Family. The boys were darling and really could this family be any more gorgeous and I’m pretty sure baby Drew wins for the best smile!

Puddle Jumping

I love this family. 100% chance of rain, no problem! We came armed with umbrellas and plans to stay under cover but as soon as we got on site, the rain stopped. Garrett spent most of the shoot jumping in the puddles and I’m told both he and their dog Bentley got baths as soon…

Taking Flight

I love senior shoots anyway but one with an aspiring pilot – sign me up! As the wife of a pilot, I was so excited when I heard Gus wanted to take his photos at the local airpark where he learned to fly. It was a great afternoon with a golden sunset you can only…

The Yee Family

Like most Mom’s – Lauren wasn’t so sure what to expect from our session. Three children under six and a pup! She didn’t need to worry, though, they were all so well behaved and we had a great afternoon. She told me she hoped for one good photo, but I think we got a few…

Fallen Leaves

An unexpected but wonderful perk of my photography business has been reconnecting with old friends. Trevor was one of my closest friends in high school but afterwards we went our separate ways. This morning I was lucky enough to reconnect with him and meet his darling children and wonderful wife. Thanks for  a fun morning…

Brotherly Love

Since I have two girls at home, I really enjoyed chasing after the Chin boys today. Their energy and willingness to be crazy and spontaneous was so fun to capture. We found a great little spot in Hillsboro which was perfect for this beautiful fall day. Their mom designs holiday cards so I can’t wait…

Chloe & The Boys

Ok, I have to admit, I wasn’t so sure how this shoot would turn out with three guys. (We all know how much men love getting their photos taken!) But, I was beyond pleasantly surprised and I had the most fantastic time. I’ve never laughed so much during a shoot or had so much fun.…

In Love

Another fun shoot  this morning at  one of my favorite spots – Peninsula Park. I had a great time capturing Nichole & Brad’s natural chemistry. What a gorgeous couple and these two are so obviously in love. Thanks for braving the rain you two! Here are some of my early favorites…
