Why you should love your photographer...

On your wedding day you will be spending about 85-90% of your entire day with your photographer by your side. They will be guiding you through every step of the day! You want someone there you trust, who is organized, and who you can have fun with!

When you love your photographer and get along with them really well you can let your guard down around them. You can crack silly jokes and laugh and have fun! In doing so, you end up with not only amazing and genuine photos, but you'll have an even better experience!

When you've taken the time to get to know the person photographing you, they will know and understand your specific needs and wants. They will know the best way to capture you and bring out your best smiles, laughs, and natural emotions. Plus who doesn't love making new friends?!

And man, did Staci and Todd look amazing against this gorgeous background on this cloud covered day! This […]

An epic adventure is exactly how I would describe this spectacular winter engagement session at Trillium Lake! I’ve been to this location before but it was at a very different time of year and even a completely different time of day. Rather than a sunrise summer session, we decided to brave the several feet of […]

You only do your engagement session once, so let’s make the most of it! That was the theme of Julia and Andrew’s engagement session at Willamette Mission State Park. Julia was telling me how they read through my style guide and blogs beforehand and took a ton of advice from there. Boy did it pay […]

A love story like the movies. They met as teenagers and reconnected after years of not seeing each other only to fall in love and get engaged! Victoria and Brent have such a sweet story.

When one of Connor’s favorite things listed in her initial questionnaire was wine and her dog, I knew we were going to get along great!!

Julia and Tommy love the gorgeous Oregon scenery. I, mean really, who doesn’t?! Their engagement story started at Cannon Beach because the Oregon coast had always been a special place to them.

This state park is one of my favorite places and it’s such a gorgeous spot for photos as well as hiking! Especially when the glow of the soft […]

There’s nothing I love more than gorgeous scenery and a stunning couple in love in front of my camera! The Columbia River Gorge makes for such a breathtaking and romantic setting for magic to happen! These two killed it during their session. But what’s even better is when they inform me that he isn’t a […]

This July engagement session along the Columbia River Gorge was so special! Analisha is a friend of mine that I know from my church. She had since moved to Arizona and became engaged to Jeremy. So this engagement session was the first time I got to meet him in person, other than our video chats. […]
