Leah and Brian’s wedding was ridiculously fun and kind of just ridiculous as well. The day started off pretty unassuming, although wonderful. The celebration was hosted at Leah’s parent’s beautiful property in Pleasant Hill near Eugene. Bunches of lavender canvased the pathways, bees buzzing among them. The ceremony and reception took place in the backyard. […]

I was especially excited to receive Jennie and Albert’s anniversary session inquiry a couple months back because I shot both their engagement photos and their wedding last year. And they told me that they’re hoping to do a portrait session each year. I couldn’t be more honored and complimented to have a couple come back […]

We played basketball and soccer together, and up through high school we would often have sleepovers at each other’s houses, staying up late watching movies and getting into trouble. If I ever […]

I had such an incredible time photographing Darcy and Adam’s engagement session the day before their wedding in California’s Sequoia National Park. Every time I get a couple that’s into exploring the outdoors, scampering over boulders and braving icy creeks I get super excited. It adds an extra level of excitement to a shoot that […]

[dropcap] We [/dropcap] had so much fun during Ally and Michael's engagement session that we hit up three different locations in the downtown Portland area.

[dropcap] Believe [/dropcap] it or not, up until last year I had not attended a single photography conference or workshop despite having shot weddings full-time these past six seasons, that is until I found out that Mystic Seminars 2015 was being held in Portland. It was there that I had the opportunity to learn from […]
