Catching up on #thatbloglife and realizing I missed blogging Angela and Josiah’s glowy light + pastels engagement session at Champoeg State Park last month!  You all HAVE to see this magic!  Angela wore basically my very favorite shade of blush pink, and they rocked it in the best field at the park!  I think I […]

I’m sharing Mykael and Evan’s engagement session today, and I could NOT be more excited!!  Last month they came up from Eugene where Evan’s in law school to spend an evening at Champoeg State Park.  We started out in the field, chatted about their plans for their wedding, and then headed down to the dock.  […]

Shana and Josh!  Can we just talk for a second about how AMAZING these two are??  When we had their consultation before booking via Skype a few months ago, they weren’t sure they’d be able to do the engagement session that I gift to all of my couples because they live in Utah.  Well, about […]

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.  […]

When we first started planning their engagement session, Shellie and Kevin wanted to be sure we’d be someplace where we could show their love of the outdoors–especially somewhere near the water.  We chose Champoeg State Park for their barn, garden, and river access–and what a fun time we had there!

Over the Independence Day weekend, I was lucky enough to spend some time with Ryan and Miya for their engagement session at Dawson Creek Park in Hillsboro!  It was a whirlwind weekend for them as they worked family celebrations and wedding to-dos in between travel schedules, but I’m so glad we were able to make […]
