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 […]

The Rumble family! It was such a pleasant surprise when they booked family portraits on the coast. Ami was very nervous about outfits but to her pleasant surprise, I have a program that helps dress everyone in the family. Well, it can either be used as inspiration or you can click on the links and […]

To my surprise this family booked an Oregon Coast Session about a week before the day of their family session date. Roger and I were gearing up and time was approaching to head to the coast and shoot and I was thinking no one else would book but these guys were like, no problem! They […]

I always suggest updating family portraits when doing senior portraits. So that is exactly what we did. Alora was a two season, season senior and so we took a few minutes out of her session to update family portraits! Look at that light and background and most of all look at this beautiful family!!!

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 […]

Oh Charlie! How in the world can you be graduating in eight weeks?!?! (sorry to point that out, Carolyn) We went from BYRDS rec riding probably 11 or 12 years ago to today in a blink of an eye! For real though! You are still riding your bike! So awesome! You rode for Boise High […]

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!! […]

Little Miss Sami is a senior! This gorgeous girl has such a sweet soul and made of nothing but kindness! We captured the last bit of the Fall colors and a bit of downtown to document her BIG milestone as a senior. This session was a lot of Sami, and then a few family portraits. […]

When your daughter is a season senior tribe member, you get to choose one season for family portraits! Great choice, Martell’s!! Winter is magical and sometimes we get lucky and have snow on the trees and a gorgeous sunset and I always have beautiful people in front of my camera. I love that they included […]
