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.

So stinkin hard to choose a favorite...


Don't you hate it when people are so cute?!

How is it possible that nearly every image I have come across from my senior session on Saturday becomes my new favorite?! You know those people that pull off any look, any outfit, or anything they try, well I met one on Saturday. Corrinda is part of the dance team at South Albany High School and I talked her into doing something for the camera....she did it so gracefully and looked gorgeous all the while. So, Corrinda, you are now added to my list as one of those people that just make me sick! And I mean that in the nicest way possible! ;)

I love senior pictures with mom too....and this one is so sweet!




And lastly I have to give props to Corrinda's friend Courtney. She has got an eye for photography...she suggested using the curb in a shot while we were working on the train tracks and when we got to it I could immediately see a great image. So nice work Courtney! It turned out great, and again Corrinda totally worked the camera. I love it!


Corrinda~Senior Portrait Session


Corrinda picked out such a great location! I have never shot at this park before but it was so great. There were lots of different options. But I wanted to post a few pictures while I am editing the rest of them! There are lots of good ones!

Busy-ness

Wow, the soccer season is here and we are in full swing! All three of our girls are playing this year, on three different teams! It has been fun, but a bit crazy over the past few weeks. On top of that we had a group of guys from our church come help us put a new roof on our house, and if that wasn't enough I picked up some free paint, borrowed my dads paint sprayer and have been painting the exterior of our house! So...I have been keeping quite busy. I have a fun senior session coming up and I am excited to get back to my photography after all the distractions lately! That isn't to say I haven't been taking pictures though...






~Garden Girl~

Like I said before, I have had a lot of fun editing this session. We had so many poses to choose from. I got to play around a lot with different textures, background enhancments and all sorts of fun color enhancments and black and white conversions. We took a few shots in this backyard garden and I love how the sun hits the lens right at her head. Super cool!!





Sweet Girl

Still having lots of fun with these images. Even without much of a smile this baby girl is darling...I am excited that we finally coaxed one grin from her though!


Ballerina Baby ~Albany Oregon Photographer~

I am having so much fun editing my most recent session. Its taking lots of time because I am playing with each picture so much. They are all adorable and I just can't choose any favorites! So here are the first few from the session. Isn't she the sweetest little ballerina?




Busy Editing Week

I have been working on editing sessions this past week...and added one more session yesterday. So here are just a few images from those sessions.
