WELCOME to the JOURNAL

Jenn and Joshua’s wedding at Yamhill Valley Vineyards in McMinnville was such a beautiful celebration!  The Willamette Valley wine country is truly one of my top five favorite places EVER, so I was thrilled to shoot there again.  We had a day of epic weather–thunderstorms that cleared for the vineyard ceremony, warm rain to dance in, […]

I loved planning this wintery maternity session with my friend Halsey over the holidays!  Since I met her, we’ve had so many photo session adventures (here and here, for example!), usually with our toddlers in tow.  This session though, we left the kiddos with sitters and headed out to McCormick Park in St. Helens for […]

I’m so excited to share this fall wedding at NW Portland’s St. Patrick’s Catholic Church today!  That moment between the flower girl and the bride as they were putting on their jewelry?  My FAVORITE!  I have been waiting to share that forever!  Thank you so much to Heather Fitch Photography for inviting me to assist […]

You might remember Daniel and Katherine’s riverside engagement session last fall–today I’m sharing their beautiful winter wedding!  They were married in early December at Union/Pine in Portland.  Daniel and Katherine, it was an honor to be a part of your day!

Megan and Loren’s fall wedding at St. Anthony’s church in Tigard was such a joy to photograph! They were both so calm and relaxed the whole day–just enjoying the day as it unfolded. The guys went to Burgerville before the ceremony!  My kind of people!! The florals were so beautiful!  I loved all of the […]

I’m sharing this beautiful country wedding with you today that happened in September at Veeles Idyllic Park in Molalla.  It was such a relaxed, gorgeous wedding, from the sweet ceremony under the trees to the totally breathtaking first dance at sunset in the pavilion! Thank you again, Katy Ann Photography, for inviting me to assist […]

Awww, I’m so excited to share these images from my latest family session with one of my favorite families!  We caught some magical light in this field and had some great playtime.  ​AND LOOK AT THOSE ADORABLE LITTLE COWGIRL BOOTS!!  I was, of course, totally thrilled when Ashley told me her wardrobe plans for this session. […]

Katherine and Daniel were so great at their engagement session last week along the Sandy River in Troutdale!  We started off at a park in hopes of finding signs of fall and then ended on the beach along the river with some truly magical light.  I’m so excited to experience their wedding day with them […]

I’m not sure if “backyard wedding” is really the best way to describe this totally gorgeous wedding, because this particular backyard is INCREDIBLE–a beautiful field with the best sunset light, surrounded by a Christmas tree farm and awesome red barn.  With the handmade touches that Kimberly and Ty added (that arch?  Ty BUILT it!) plus […]
