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?!

EPIC! There really aren’t many other words to describe this day! This Oregon coast engagement session was definitely one for the books. Josh and Marissa were insanely adorable together and I had such a blast roaming along this semi-private spot on the beach with them. It was a little foggy and hazy as it is […]

These two are the CUTEST! I had the best time with Taylor and Clayton at this mansion engagement session. The blush pink of her dress in their first outfit complimented the background around them so well! It was so invaluable the time we spent together. They are so much fun and you can tell how […]

Oregon is such a gorgeous state! I love that you can drive just an hour or two in any direction and end up somewhere different but equally beautiful! Whether it’s to the mountains, to the Columbia River Gorge, the desert, or the beach. I count myself truly lucky that we have all of that here! […]

This session was so memorable and had a first for me! Sara and Samuel’s summer engagement session in Portland was beautiful and so much fun!

You just can’t beat a vineyard view! There’s something so breathtaking about the rows and rows of lush green grape vines in bloom that are just stunning!

Flowers, flowers everywhere!! This garden engagement session in Portland was at one of my favorite locations. One of the things I love so much about shooting at Pittock Mansion is how different it looks each time I go. For this engagement session with Alexa and Caelan, there were so many colors surrounding us! So many […]

I love our Pacific Northwest and all the beauty it offers! Especially when we get to visit the Columbia River Gorge! It’s always absolutely breathtaking here!
