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?!

I LOVE it when couples choose locations for their engagement sessions that are sentimental to them! This University of Portland engagement session was exactly that! Anne Marie and Chris met while they were attending college here. They both love frisbee golf, which they played on campus quite often. They love it so much so that […]

There have been many times when I will get requests to shoot on a client’s private property or property of a family member. It usually never disappoints here in the Pacific Northwest and the views are usually always gorgeous! The only downfall is that I end up falling in love with the place but obviously, […]

I don’t know about you, but I LOVE being able to see behind-the-scenes, whether it’s bloopers of my favorite shows or movies or how others acheive what the amazing things they do.

I love how this Willamette University engagement session captured so much of our beautiful city! Beginning at Willamette University, we worked our way over to the steps of the Capital building.

These two beautiful people are absolutely something special! So of course their Wallace Marine Park engagement session was nothing short of amazing! It was full of giggles, kisses, and playfulness that just had me gushing behind my camera. Jon and Emily are so sweet together and so very meant for each other. God knew what […]

“I want adventure in the great wide somewhere! I want it more than I can tell!” This engagement session felt like I stepped right into one of my favorite fairytales! And not just because of this incredible mansion that felt like a castle or the red flowers that encircled it. Shannon and Brenden are BOTH […]

She even smiled for me! We chose to explore a new gorgeous woodsy place for this Hoyt Arboretum engagement session. How we […]
