Kaleb – Parkour Through The Forest


My non-biological nephew Kaleb is a senior at South Albany High School this year.  He’s a fun guy who loves parkour, hiking and being in the forest.  So we went for a hike in the Santiam Forest and he parkoured his way through his senior photo session. It was a blast. I love that his images tell his story so uniquely. Great ideas […]

I Can’t Find Fault with a Single One


Adi is a creative, free spirit. She loves being outdoors in the forest or at the beach. She also loves the fashion industry and hopes to pursue a degree in that area when she graduates. We combined all her passions in her senior session by taking the curvy, back road through the forest to Pacific City. The forest was moody […]

Win My Day


Hannah has a classic, timeless beauty that radiates from her.  She grew up in McMinnville and has strong connections to Linfield College where her Grandpa played an influential role in the football program.  The snack shack is named after him and he coined the phrase “Win My Day.” Her Grandpa was a well loved man who passed away a little over […]

Cherished for Many Years to Come


The Lindell family invited me and my daughter Alli (who is an Expert with Small Children) out to their sanctuary in the country to photograph them where they live.  The setting was incredible and we had a warm, summer evening with beautiful fading light to work with.  It was impossible not to fall in love with Lucy and Karson, their […]

The Year of Beating Breast Cancer is Here


Robin and I met at the gym when I was still fresh to living in Oregon and needing friends.  I liked her immediately. She’s almost always wearing a smile and she gives amazing hugs.  People are drawn to her.  I was no exception.  But our schedules and life phases were vastly different so for years we’d wave and smile at […]

Drew


Drew is a senior at Newberg High School.  I met his mom in the bleachers while we watched our daughters tear it up on the basketball court.  He’s a very nice guy with a ruggedly handsome profile.  Drew rocked his photo session at Champoeg State Park.  I’m excited to share his images.  Have a great senior year Drew.  May God […]

I really enjoyed meeting her and taking her senior photos on her family’s property outside of town.Molli’s cousin Hannah is also a senior at McMinnville High. We took her senior portraits after Molli’s and did some photos of the […]

They are all so Beautiful


Hayley starts her senior year this week. She’s a volleyball player. A reader. Creative with awesome ideas. And she’s obviously beautiful. We had fun exploring McMinnville during her senior photo session. Hayley’s mom said, They are all so beautiful. It was really hard to decide. Hayley said, I just wanted to say thank you so much for taking my senior […]
