WELCOME to the JOURNAL

They got engaged at the top of the tallest sand dune in Pacific City, so it was only fitting that we’d head to Cape Kiwanda for Colby and Taylor’s engagement session.  Colby’s family spent a lot of time in Pacific City as he was growing up, and it’s a place they’ve both come to love.  […]

Today is another 2017 recap day–this time, we’re checking out part TWO of my favorite photos from 2017 family photo sessions!  I’m starting with a few more favorites from sessions at Champoeg in Newberg (Barns! Pink tulle skirts!  All of my favorite things!) This extended family photo session in Hillsboro at Rood Bridge Park was […]

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 […]

Yep, it’s FEBRUARY and I’m just now doing my “Best Of 2017” posts, but….let’s just roll with it.  I’ve been catching up on blogging my 2017 weddings for most of January, so I wanted to take a quick break from my beautiful couples and highlight some of my favorite FAMILY sessions that happened in 2017!  […]

It’s been quiet over here this last month on the blog, but not in real life–we had Camille and Michael’s Troutdale House wedding over Thanksgiving weekend, then December was spent editing that wedding and doing all that fun end-of-year stuff for the business.  This month, I’ve been revamping the Bridal Guide (2018 brides–keep an eye […]

You remember Lauren and Corey’s forest engagement session with their sweet dogs, right?  I knew their wedding would be just as fun and relaxed–it was in the forest with their dogs too!  Lauren and her bridesmaids got ready at McMenamin’s Grand Lodge, and I met them there for some photos before we made the drive out to their […]

The week of catching up on wedding blogs continues!!  Next up is Kailey and Andrew’s wedding in St. Helens.  Their engagement session at Champoeg State Park was super fun and I was so excited for their big day!  They started the day by getting ready at a family friend’s house, where they had their first […]

Pink and gold!  AHHH!  My favorites!  There was so much fun sparkly details to this wedding!  From the fabulous pink and gold cake to the gold sequined tablecloths–I knew when Lindsey told me about these colors that I HAD to photograph this wedding!  Pink and gold were my wedding colors when I got married in […]

Sorry, friends.  I obviously fell down on blogging this winter!  I tend to post weddings right away on Facebook and then dive into editing to get my couples their wedding photos back quickly, but I know they’re waiting for their blog posts too!  I’m doing some catching up this week, and I’m so excited to […]
