The Gillies Family || Lifestyle Session || Portland Oregon

This session was meant to be. It took a lot of planning and re-planning to get us all in one place at one time. But when we finally did- magic happened.

We had, maybe 20 minutes before the sun would fully set and we were headed to a location I had never been. I’m not gonna lie I was a little worried.

As you’re about to see, I shouldn’t have been. I love every image of this gorgeous fam<3

The Krueger Family || Lifestyle Session || Portland Oregon

So many amazing sessions this fall! I’m a little late but determined to get all of these beautiful sessions posted!

Amy + Chris and their two beautiful kiddos, the day ended up way chillier than expected but the sunset was gorgeous and they were troopers about the cold!

Happy 5th Anniversary Lily + Arya!

Five years ago today I photographed the most beautiful, most magical wedding.

And today I share with you some beautiful images of this family five years later ( I may have to share some wedding photos too….they are still my absolute favorite!)

Omi is the sweetest, silliest kid and I absolutely love our yearly sessions catching up with this family!

The Moyer Family || Dorris Ranch, Springfield OR || Lifestyle Session

This session made my heart happy.

I’ve known this girl for 22 years.. we’ve been through a lot together and nothing makes me happier than being able to capture her beautiful family and the joy that radiates amongst them all.

I think its easy to allow the day to day to get us down, it seems everyone is always going in 100 different directions. Sometimes it’s hard to slow down and see the beauty within your own life.

And that is precisely why I love what I do so much, I want to be there for those moments. The ones that make all the other stuff worth it. The moments that make your heart just almost burst.

This entire session made me feel that way.

The Salazar Family || Council Crest Park, Portland OR || Lifestyle Session

I had such a great time meeting this sweet family. Wesley absolutely stole my heart with those bright blue eyes and that gorgeous smile! We started the session in his nursery, than moved on to their neighborhood park. I love photographing families in their “spaces” (homes, parks, places they frequent) I always feel it adds another element, makes it extra special when the location means something.

The Salazar Family || Portland Oregon || Sunset Session

Okay get ready for an over share, because this family was so gorgeous, the light so perfect, I just couldn’t stop snapping.

I had a really hard time choosing which photos to share because I just love them all!

Without further ado, I will let these photos speak for themselves. But let’s just say I’m already looking forward to them scheduling their next session!

The Barker Family || Portland OR || Lifestyle Session

The annual photo update for the Barker family couldn’t have been sweeter. I love when get to watch kiddos grow up through my lens. We’ve been doing family photos ever since miss Zoey was about six months old. It’s hard to believe she’s going to be 7 in March!

Fun with Marley at 5th St Public Market | Eugene, OR

This family, gosh I love them. I get so excited when fall rolls around and it’s time for our annual shoot. This year we decided to head down to 5th Street Public Market and I am beyond in love with how these images turned out! It kind of helps that Marley is seriously the cutest thing ever —- I mean come on! Is she for real?

We had such a fun afternoon exploring the market, taking photos and eating sour patch kids, of course. Here is a handful of my favorites.

Mini session sneak peak!

I had way too much fun with the Sharp family yesterday! This is the second time I’ve had the pleasure of photographing this gorgeous family and I was stoked when they agreed to meet me at my hidden park I’ve discovered. The fall foliage is stunning right now and we had a blast playing in the leaves and running around snapping photos.

The Adventures of Billie Mae

It was one of those late May days that wants so badly to be summer despite the cool spring breeze that still lingers. I met Colin, Annie, their incredibly adorable daughter Billie Mae and their wonderful dog Teddy at their home to take some photos. Nestled in a charming neighborhood among the SW hills of Portland I loved everything about this in-home session. These types of sessions are some of my favorite to shoot because everyone is so relaxed and truly able to be themselves. I love capturing people in their “space” and always find the results so true.

I loved getting to know this sweet family. Here is a peek into their beautiful life. _MG_6430 _MG_6377 _MG_6352 _MG_6348 _MG_6273 _MG_6234 _MG_6228 _MG_6224 _MG_6223 _MG_6210 _MG_6197 _MG_6191 _MG_6183 _MG_6182 _MG_6142 _MG_6132 _MG_6130 _MG_6121 _MG_6103 _MG_6079 _MG_6067 _MG_6053 _MG_6052 _MG_6048 _MG_6041 _MG_6040 _MG_6025 _MG_6024 _MG_6022 _MG_6020 _MG_6015 _MG_6008 _MG_6001 _MG_5996 _MG_5977 _MG_5970 _MG_5965-2 _MG_5948 _MG_5941-2 _MG_5938 _MG_5932 _MG_5931 _MG_5930 _MG_5921-2 _MG_5921 _MG_5900 _MG_5879 _MG_5869 _MG_5848 _MG_5844-2 _MG_5841 _MG_5821 _MG_5817
