If these photos don't bring on all the motherhood, crazy family time feels I don't know what will! Nick + Jess have three of the most photogenic kids in the world, seriously wait until you see these pictures of them. I felt refreshed after this session, shooting the Hunter family made me want to take on a lot more lifestyle/family sessions. We will see what comes of that, but until then - ENJOY!
Read MoreThis queen is a senior! I have known Abby for over 5 years now. She has become like a sister to me and is a good friend. Abby has spent somewhere close to 100 hours over the past two years watching my boys and I couldn't be more grateful for the love and care she gives them. Abby has grown up so fast and I was honored that she wanting me to capture her senior year.
Read MoreOur family friends had asked me to photograph their younger kids (Oldest is off at college - don't worry Ethan, we didn't forget about you) so I headed up the mountain to their house. We had a great time chasing dogs, dodging sprinkles and talking homeschool, but for real our time together was awesome. End of Summer / early Fall is my favorite for family pictures.
Read MoreAleysha is a barista at my local coffee shop, and yes that is where we met. I got to photograph Aleysha + Josh out in the gorge next to the Columbia River last month. We hiked through wildflowers and dodged sheets of rain as we got to know each other.
I cherish moments like this because if it wasn't for Aleysha's boldness of always engaging in conversation with me we would still just be strangers. So next time go out of your comfort zone and talk with someone, meet someone new <3
Read MoreSince Rowan was born I have tried getting a decent picture of the boys together. We usually try to turn it into something fun for all of us, and it usually ends the same. I may not have gotten a picture of the two of them smiling at the camera, but we got some fun ones.
Read MoreMothers day weekend was so special this year! It started up in Tacoma, WA where I got to photograph my good friend's wedding. Then I drove down to Portland Oregon to capture Courtney and EJ's newest addition to their sweet family. Carter is one of the sweetest babies I have ever been around! He has a calm temperament and is up for anything, as well as being a total cheese ball of a baby. His smile lights up those baby blues like a summer sky. Congratulations to Courtney - you are the best mom! EJ you and Carter are going to be getting into trouble very soon. And Waffles - you are perfect as usual. <3
