I say it over and over, my passion is capturing family memories and relationships and the icing on top is capturing them at a location that has meaning. This session with the Lee family was so amazing! We had epic skies, beautiful family, and gorgeous weather at this private waterski lake. The Lee family spends […]

Family pictures look different for everyone. I LOVE the pictures I had done of my girls and I after my divorce. They are a sign of a new beginning. Don’t get me wrong, divorce sucks but the pictures of my girls and I were a fresh new step. They were a sign of moving forward. […]

When I find a location and willing participants, we go on an adventure! Brandon gave the best birthday gift to Kerry…the gift of family portraits! This is one busy family so to nail down a date with this fun crew was nothing short of a miracle. On July 1st, the adventure began…I say this because […]

I have had the pleasure of photographing this family at our annual Little Heroes Fundraiser Event for years now. To finally get to photograph them outside of the event is a very big compliment. Sometimes it takes time to get people to know, like and trust me. I’m okay with this. I do think that […]

Alora […]

The Oregon Coast will always keep you on your toes between the weather and the low/high tide. In April we had five sessions booked and had to fit three in in one day! This session was absolutely gorgeous! This session was at 1pm and I LOVE the clouds in the blue sky! Love this family […]

What can I say about this family… We have been friends and worked for one another and with each other for many years. They are one of the reasons I offer out of town sessions. They loved the idea of tulip fields and that is what we did last year. They loved the idea of […]

It’s not easy getting everyone together for family portraits, but it’s worth it!! Michele wanted updated pictures of her kids and grandkids! Was it cold? Of course! Was it hard to get everyone happy to be in the snow for an hour? Totally! Was there a few that absolutely hate getting their picture taken? Duh!! […]
