For Quinlyn and Ren’s engagement, we photographed the majority of the session on Alberta Street. They had, however, recently moved into a new house, so we started there with some casual shots on their front porch and in their backyard to commemorate their new place. Afterward we drove over to Alberta Street for the remainder […]

I’d been looking forward to Meghan and Zach’s engagement session at Mt Rainier for a long time. Meghan and I actually went to the same high school and college, and Meghan likes to often bring up the hilarious fact that we used to swing dance together an awful lot during school dances back when Zoot […]

The location of Karmen and Daniel’s engagement session had the most amazing wildflower varietals, and that’s only the tip of the iceberg. We started the session on the dirt road that led to their friends’ off-grid farm where they harvest their own water and electricity. The farm comes complete with llamas and chickens, and it […]

A friend of mine who also happens to be a wedding photographer told me about Horsethief Butte last year, and I’ve had been meaning to shoot an engagement session out there ever since. It’s a bit of a drive, located out by the Dalles on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge, so finding […]

We began Suzy and Neil’s engagement session in Forest Park on the Wildwood Trail. This trail holds a nostalgic place in my heart because I used to run it quite frequently. So being able to return to it with a very cool couple, like Suzy and Neil, to do their engagement photographs was a lot […]

Like most couples, Laura and Hyon came to their engagement session at Powell Butte not knowing what to do in front of the camera. It’s perfectly normal to feel a little awkward. No couples I photograph are models. I always just tell folks to embarrass the awkward and trust that I’ll give direction when appropriate. Laura […]

Wow, this engagement session in Yachats on the Oregon coast was so much fun! I’m not actually sure if I’ve spent much time on this part of the Oregon coast before, but I was a big fan. Just south of Yachats is the beautiful Cape Perpetua, where we did the lion’s share of the engagement session. […]

After a long winter vacation traveling in New Zealand, I’m back with my first engagement session of the spring featuring Jillian and Ryan at Abiqua Falls. I’ve been wanting to shoot an engagement session at Abiqua Falls for a couple years, being that it’s one my favorite waterfalls in Oregon. Its plummeting waters are a force of […]

For their engagement session, Emily and Orion really just wanted to capture a snippet of what their life is like living in their new home with their pup, Clyde, and exploring their neighborhood in NE Portland. Usually during engagement sessions I find myself out in the woods, in the gorge, or at a river—so this […]

In October, I traveled to Las Vegas for a wedding reception, this time actually as a guest, which was a lot of fun because I don’t get to be a guest all that often. The main event was seeing Elton John at Caesar’s Palace. It was amazing. Elton’s still got it! However, I’ve recently made […]
