Welcome

I am a natural light photographer, specializing in Seniors, Individuals and Engagement Sessions. I love to capture the special memories that will be cherished by your family for years to come. Capturing real life as a portrait is what I love to do. Real. Life. Portraiture.

Merry Christmas!

From my family to yours, Merry Christmas! I hope that each of you will have a wonderful holiday season! May your new year be full of joy. We are so blessed, regardless of life's circumstances!

Fun Christmas Picture

I mentioned the other day that Esperanza had a fun idea for a Christmas picture. I got to play with photoshop and added a couple of different elements to create a "Christmas ornament" design. I think it turned out pretty cute. Here is the before...and after. :)


Model Family

This family looks like they all stepped out of a magazine, every single one of them is gorgeous enough to be a model! I really enjoyed photographing this family and I think we got some great images! Esperanza had a really fun Christmas pose idea and I am working on that one right now...I can't wait to post it! :)




Daddy's Girl....

This little girl has grown up since the last time I photographed her....






Oh how I will miss this face! ~Salem, OR Photographer~


Little girl, I am going to miss seeing you every month. This sweet baby girl has really grown on me during the past 8 months. I have been watching her grow up through the lens and I can't believe she is already one! Happy Belated Birthday!! I do get to see her at least one more time when she is 1 1/2, but its so hard to believe how big she has gotten already! Thanks for the opportunity to spend some time with your family...I have really enjoyed getting to know you and your daughter. Her face is nearly as precious to me as my own girls.

Avery Park Family Session

I loved seeing this family again. I had a session with them last year, here and here, before their sweetest new addition joined them. Its so fun to have a second session and see how their family has grown!

Rugby anyone?

I am privileged to photograph some pretty neat families...and this one was no exception. I loved their matching team shirts. Their two daughters are so beautiful, it was so much fun to shoot them!
