Carter


Carter is a senior at Newberg High School.  We managed to squeeze his session in just before the yearbook deadline.  It was a chilly but beautiful morning.  The Simple Offering is a great option for my senior guys.  They can be done in thirty minutes and they still get a minimum of five digital images to call their own.  Have […]

A Class Act


Tyler is the captain of Newberg High School’s water polo team, leading his team to three consecutive Oregon 6A state championships.  He’s also the best 6A water polo in the state of Oregon… voted MVP in the state two years in a row.  Oh and did I mention that he’s one of Newberg High School’s fastest swimmers?  I’m happy to sing his […]

Snow in the Valley


It’s a rare winter that the Willamette Valley gets enough snow that it accumulates enough to cover the grass and cold enough that it sticks around for a few days.  This winter the valley got blasted by five separate storms over the course of a couple of weeks.  The result?  We got snow that stuck for days, beautiful sunshine, blue skies, and […]

I’m so used to relating to McKenna’s family via Raleigh and water polo that it was strange and super fun to spend time with McKenna and her mom doing something unrelated to water polo. McKenna […]

Gracie


I met Gracie the summer before her 7th grade year.  It’s crazy to me that she’s a senior now and about to launch into adulthood.  Isn’t she lovely?  We got so lucky with the weather for her senior session.  It was cold, but sunny and so beautiful for a winter day in Oregon.  Gracie didn’t complain about the cold and […]

Baby Benjamin Maternity Session


I met Erin years ago when she worked at the gym in the childcare area.  When she got engaged to Nick she asked me to shoot her engagement photos. I then had the privilege of photographing their wedding.  It was with great joy that I agreed to do another photo session documenting a big event for them:  a maternity session for their […]

Worth It To Wait


This fall I photographed the Cheung family for the third time.  Each time we’ve hit snags actually getting to the photo session: weather and illness have sidelined us multiple times and this session was no exception.  It was worth it to wait for decent weather and healthy kids though because their photos are some of my favorites from the fall […]
