I took photos for this family almost a year ago and it was instantly one of my favorite family sessions ever! Now, after taking photos of them for a second time… with a new family member…. this is officially my NEW favorite family session ever!!! Ben and Becky have been in my life for a […]

This session was the first of my local 2015 seniors!!! I have always loved doing senior sessions and the more I do, the more I love them! Delaney and Michael are twins who are in their senior year at Chaparral High School! This session was different than most of my senior sessions for a couple […]

I’m missing Portland so much already! I didn’t realize how little lush green we have in Phoenix, until I saw how much there was in Oregon! Well, that’s a lie, I’ve absolutely noticed that this place I call home is mostly filled with brown and rocks, but I just to pretend that I love it! Haha. […]

I’ve known Monika since I was in 2nd grade… that’s over 16 years!! We were the best of friends in elementary school and I met her husband Grant before they were even together through Fine Arts with a church I use to attend. I love doing shoots with people that I’ve known for a while […]

I had been looking forward to this shoot before I even got to Portland, when I first planned it with Makayla. I love shoots with couples that are so in love with each other and these two also happen to be beautiful and photogenic!! I loved spending some time with them on the Columbia River […]

I met Kelsey a few weeks ago in Portland when I took some portraits of her to use on her fashion blog! I had such a lovely evening with her and when I found out that she is engaged, I knew I wanted to snatch up the opportunity to take engagement pictures of her and […]

It’s Wednesday! But, since I’m still catching up on posting photos from Portland, I’m skipping Wisdom Wednesday this week and sharing my session with Katelyn! However, if you haven’t seen my recent Wisdom Wednesdays, check them out here! :)   Katelyn became very interested in nutrition after she had a few health problems in the padt, so […]

When Sam and I were discussing possible locations for her shoot, she suggested Cathedral Park, and I was so happy!! I saw plenty of pictures of Cathedral Park before coming to Portland when I was browsing the web for shoot locations, but I hadn’t shot there all summer! So, I’m thankful I had the opportunity to […]

I first met Ayaka at a house show where her and Harper performed. Her voice and musical presence are absolutely beautiful and full of grace, which makes sense, because so is she! We walked around The International Rose Test Garden and took photos amongst all the amazing flowers, some happened to even be taller than […]

I met Rose last week at the Pittock Mansion to start off our shoot! I had been there before to visit and knew it was beautiful, but I didn’t think it would help my photos be THIS beautiful!! Although, I shouldn’t give all the credit to the mansion, most of it should go to Rose […]
