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?!
Our Crazy Life
You guys!!! This is MY sweet baby girl! My first born! And yes, she’s now a senior. * Cue tears* As a parent, the journey of watching your child grow is a beautiful and bittersweet experience. One of the ways to freeze these moments in time is through senior sessions. And, of course, we had […]
Oh man do I have a soft spot for cooking and baking! Especially when it’s fall cooking and baking! Ever since I was little and helped my granny in the kitchen I’ve developed a passion for it. I remember sitting on the kitchen floor as a little thing licking the bowl. Then I moved up […]
One of my favorite times of the year is when we get to have our own family photos done! Of course this doesn’t mean it’s super easy to plan or execute.

For the past few years I’ve been blessed to be nominated for the best photographer in the Best of the Willamette Valley contest. The first year I won 3rd place. The second and third years I won 2nd place. I felt like this could be my year to hit that first place spot. Pouring everything […]
We certainly are a sports family! I only played basketball for a few years in middle school so I never really thought much about my kids being so into sports. But man these kids really go for it! My oldest, Arika, definitely has a love for softball. She’s about to go into her 6th season […]
Whether it’s going to the movies, a favorite restaurant, the arcade, or getting our nails done, we LOVE family dates! It doesn’t matter what kind of date or who in our family, we love them all. I usually try to take the kids out one on one whenever I can to spend some quality time […]
This is something I’ve been praying for for years and it’s finally happened! I even had her name chosen long before we ever picked her out. Everyone, meet our sweet little puppy, Molly. She a Cavapoo, which means she’s part Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and part poodle. She doesn’t shed, which I LOVE. We get […]
There’s something magical about Christmas time! The brisk, chilly air makes you want to curl upside. Getting all snuggly in front of the fireplace with a warm blanket and some fuzzy socks. We love decorating the house and the tree, going to look at Christmas lights, and binging ALL the Christmas movies possible. But there’s […]
Being a photographer, you’d think I’d have TONS of photos of my kids and family all over the place. But believe it or not it’s actually pretty difficult to get my whole crew in front of a camera for a family session! I’ve done a family session of just me with my kiddos and some […]
