Goodbye January
I have to admit that, normally, January isn’t my favorite month of the year in Portland, mostly because of the wet, cold weather and lack of sun. However, this January has been pretty awesome; a good balance of work, relaxation, and even a little sunshine. In fact, I’m slightly sad to see January go. However, […]
Meet My Constant Motivation
One thing that I love about Portland is that it is a city of action. People are constantly walking, biking, hiking, running, getting involved, and making positive things happen for themselves and for others. Among the movers and shakers is my friend, Kelly Constant, owner and founder of My Constant Motivation. I met Kelly almost […]
Keri and Ricky’s Engagement Session in North Portland
Lincoln and I had a great time getting to know Keri and Ricky during their engagement session at Peninsula Park.

It’s not hard to believe that these […]

Just one last portrait session from the unofficial ‘Peninsula Park Series’ that took place this October… Suzanne and Tom live in Arizona and decided to make a trip to Oregon to visit the beautiful Pacific Northwest and check out the fall foliage.

Oh autumn, how I love thee, let me count the ways. Your warm days, cool nights, golden light, and colorful foliage; it’s the most romantic season, in my opinion.

Angel and Kyle’s Engagement Session on Sauvie Island
Think about your sweetheart. The person whose hand you love to hold. When was the last time you spent time with them in a park, doing absolutely nothing except for enjoying each other’s company? How about the last time you walked through an orchard, ran through a field, held hands, danced in the street, or […]

Leah and John’s Engagement Session in Roseburg, Oregon
Just a couple of weeks ago, I drove down to Roseburg, Oregon to photograph Leah and John’s engagement portraits.

What makes this next set of photographs really special, however, is that the […]
Love Letters – Meet Encanto Press
I love letterpress printing. In fact, I love everything that has to do with handmade paper products. There have been many hours that I’ve spent perusing the aisles of local paper stores, adoring the notebooks, handmade paper, envelopes and (my personal favorite), handmade letterpress cards. What is it about relief printing that makes me swoon? […]
Rachel and Jason’s Engagement Photo Session in SE Portland
There are many reasons why I love Spring. To name a few, the days grow longer, the trees and flowers start to bud, and the sun comes back to the Great Pacific Northwest. Many of our clients choose to do their engagement photo sessions in the springtime, which is another reason that I love this […]
Professional Portraits with Beth
A few weeks ago, I was contacted by Beth, asking if I would take a few portraits of her that she could use in her professional field. Of course, I said yes!
