Katie is absolutely adorable! A girl after my own heart, she loves reading and flowers. We did her senior portraits at Deepwood Museum & Gardens her in Salem. I love shooting here because it offers a LOT of variety, within a small area. The scenery changes, as you walk the property, but it also changes throughout the year. So, no two sessions ever look the same!
Side note: Do you see her cute dinosaur necklace?!
I’ve known Myrick’s mom since we were kids, so getting to do his senior portraits felt pretty special. He’s a wonderful kid, with a good head on his shoulders. I can’t wait to see what his future holds!
Emily & Brent both moved to Oregon from out of state, so they wanted their session to have a PNW/Salem vibe and we all agreed that the Riverfront Park in downtown Salem would be a good location! We lucked out with weather, as it was cold and windy, but not raining! We can’t ask for much more around here in November!
As I sit here, listening to the winter rain outside, I can’t help but wish for some summer warmth and sunshine (even though I hate the heat and will regret saying this in a few months). Ainsley knew she wanted to do part of her session in this type of grass, wearing her cowgirl boots and sundress, and I knew just the spot! So, we met up shortly before sunset to get these fun shots!
Anna is such a great model. Not only has she modeled for me multiple times, but she was kind enough to volunteer her time modeling for one of my Chemeketa classes! Thank you, Anna!
I don’t photograph wedding rehearsals very often, but the few that I have shot were so much fun! It’s usually constant action and I love any chance to embrace my photojournalistic roots. Sarah and Rej’s rehearsal was at their church in sunny California. In addition to the actual rehearsal indoors, they had henna paint, Sarah’s makeup trial, and of course some dancing! I say “of course” because Rej very clearly loves to dance.
See what I did there?
Such a cute baby bump!
We had a field trip last week, for a class that I teach, so I took it as an opportunity to practice with my Lensbaby lens. It has a fun swirl effect, but I haven’t had a chance to use it much yet and there is a bit of a learning curve. It is challenging, but such a fun lens. Anyway, here are the photos I took down at Riverfront Park on that field trip!
I would like to give a big thanks to my model, Katherine, for making this such a fun shoot! Just a couple of witchy gals, cackling amongst the trees. I haven’t been able to do a Halloween themed shoot for a few years now, due to my schedule, but I’m so happy that it worked out this year!
I’ve been photographing Tiffany and her boys for over a decade now and I have to say…it’s like they were MADE for the Autumn! I mean, look at them! Even their hair and eyes match the season.
Aidan is the third kid in this family that I’ve done senior portraits for. Yes, I realize he looks like a 30 yr old man, but I promise this is the face of a high school senior.
One thing I like about Aidan is that he keeps it simple. He wore school colors, chose a simple location, followed directions like a champ, and we were done in record time.
These little ones have the best cheeks ever! They also have some pretty great facial expressions and adorable little boots! I love seeing them each fall, especially at these ages because they change so much, so quickly.
Side note: This location, which is in Wilsonville, is where I’ll be doing fall mini sessions on November 8th this year! If you are interested, contact me ASAP!
Elizabeth rocked this simple, yet elegant boudoir session. Side note: This teal green ruffled robe is available to my boudoir clients upon request.
I was about Anna’s age in the 90s, so these outfits are giving me the warm fuzzies! Side note: How cool isis her eye color?!
It may not be obvious, but these two are TWINS! Daniel (cowboy hat) and John (baseball hat) made up half of the mutli-senior session I did with two other guys (You can see ETHAN’S session HERE and you can see KIERNAN’S session HERE). It was chaos, but the best kind!
I do not post all of them, but I do a LOT of headshots throughout the year. While I love a nice blazer and traditional business portrait, I also like when I get creative types who want something a little different.
