The last time I saw this family, their sweet little girl quietly cuddled in to her mama the whole time. It doesn’t feel like that long ago, but this year she was the most active, energetic, and talkative kiddo! It’s such an honor to see families year after year and I just love seeing how […]

It’s official. Lavender farms are my new favorite place to shoot! We did our own family photos at this farm a few years ago, and of course we love to stop there during Newberg’s Lavender Festival, but I hadn’t done any client work out there myself. So when Ally told me she loves lavender AND […]

I love when a client contacts me with a vision for their photos that is totally in line with my style!  Alaina contacted me to schedule a relaxed, light and airy family photo session in a summer field and I was ALL about that!  Alaina helped that vision come to life with her family’s outfit […]
