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.

My beautiful cousin and her cute son...

I got to take pictures of my baby cousin last week. I can't believe that her son is 12! Isn't he just adorable?

It was good to see her and so fun to take some portraits of the two of them.

Ethan has totally grown up and I can't believe he is 12! Seriously Rachel, when did that happen?

Anyway, they were both perfect models for me and gave me some gorgeous shots! I love all of them so far and can't wait to keep editing some more!

Family Session ~Oregon Family Photographer~

I had lots of fun with Erika and her kidlets last Friday...it's always fun when I get to bring my own kids along and since they are friends they got to come along. They loved to run around and explore the field while we were taking pictures.

Erika is such a sweet mom, person and friend. She is the type of person who makes you think "her life is perfect!" but I think what makes her so sweet is that she would be the first one to tell you she isn't! It isn't any wonder that her kids are just as sweet as she is. This photo session was a father's day surprise for her husband (who was out of the country on a mission trip to Uganda). I just love this family and I really enjoyed shooting them! (I just love saying that!)

Its quiet around here....

It sure has been quiet around here lately. I have been editing sessions, shooting new sessions and speaking at a womens group in Albany. Not to mention the new dog we are adopting into our family. He is a 4 year old Beagle named Buddy. He is a pretty sweet dog, when he isn't busy chasing the cats. I have always said I am not an animal person but here I am with 2 cats and 2 dogs! Seriously! Buddy may or may not be a temporary foster dog for our family. Our friends that are moving to Brazil can not take him with them right now but will know by sometime this fall if they can bring him back with them next year.

It has been a crazy er, I mean, fun, few weeks.

And Jessica!!! I have your pictures finished! I will get your disc into the mail today!!!

So here are the latest picture edits, as well as a copy of the handout from my presentation. It has 12 photography tips and I hope some of you might find them useful!
