Kiernan was part of the best friend senior session I did a couple of years ago, where I photographed four seniors at the same time. We met up at a park in Indpendence, which was an ideal setting as it had a lot of variety (for backgrounds) with in a small area.
Anna wore the cutest 90s inspired outfit for this shoot. It had sort of a Catholic school nun meets Wednesday Adams.
Ashley & Taylor got married at the Clark County Courthouse in March of 2024, on an absolutely perfect day! I’ve known Ashley since she was in elementary school, when my dear friend, Karly, married Ashley’s dad. Over the years I’ve done their family portraits, as well as Ashley and her brother’s senior portraits.
Anyway, I was so excited when Karly contacted me about photographing Ashley’s courthouse elopement that I don’t think she even finished her question before I said, “OMG, Yes, of course!” Not only did I get to see Ashley and meet her new husband, but I got to meet their baby for the first time!
I had never been to the Clark County courthouse before, but I was pleasantly surprised at how cool the building looked! Everyone took turns passing the baby around, while Ashley and Taylor did some paperwork as they waited for the judge to call them in. Once in the courtroom the ceremony was quick and easy (as they always are, and I love it!). Afterwards we did some quick photos outside before they headed off to a family dinner to celebrate.
I really do love the “then vs. now” shots and Ainsley’s is no exception! She was a cute kiddo, but has certainly grown into a beautiful woman! We did Ainsley’s senior portraits in 3 parts, one of which you can see by CLICKING HERE. I’ll be sharing the rest of them soon. In the meantime, here are a few b&w shots from those sessions!
We did this session shortly after SheeAnna lost her grandmother. They were very close, so the loss hit her especially hard. The tattoo on her arm is a memorial tattoo, in her grandmother’s honor, so I decide to create special photo for her.
Vanessa was kind enough to model for one of my community college classes a few years ago. In exchange, I did some headshots for her, as she needed some updated ones.
Miss K is all about the accessories and textures! She had pearls, sequins, lace, chiffon, mesh, and felt. I love texture, so it made my job all that much more fun. I decided to keep things really simple with the furnishings and background, as to not compete with the beauty of K and all her fabulous textures!
My favorite boudoir sessions are the ones women book just for themselves. There is something so empowering about celebrating and appreciating your body for yourself, rather than a partner. This goddess booked a sexy boudoir session to celebrate her 50th birthday!
And yes, I’ve shared this session before, but I love it too much to not share again!
I do a lot more nude photography than people realize, but I don’t share most of it due to client privacy. Occasionally, though, I will get permission to share more anonymous shots like this one.
If you would like to incorporating some nudity into your boudoir session, please let me know ahead of time!
Please note: I do not offer erotic photography and men must be partially dressed (bottom half), whether they are doing a solo shoot or posing with their partner(s). Fully nude sessions are only available to women.
Kate totally rocked this red lacy bralette/underwear set for her boudoir session at Studio 22.
I’ve taken a lot of photos of Porshe, but I think these might be my favorites. They’re so simple, yet so mysterious and alluring.
I had the privilege of photographing Jia in a stunning sequin and beaded dress. I just love the mermaid vibes it gives!
This session was total chaos, but an absolute blast! These four guys grew up together and wanted to do their senior portraits together, so we made it happen! We met up one evening at Riverview Park in Independence, as it was a place they’d spent a lot of time together. In the end, they each got their own mini session, as well as a few fun group shots, some of which can be seen below. I will be sharing their individual sessions soon.
This was my first (and so far only) time shooting at this location and I loved it! I love shooting in new places and George Rogers Park was no exception as it was beautiful! There is so much variety and I really liked all of the hidden little gems for photo spots.
As usual, I’m ridiculously behind on blogging, and Noah actually just finished his freshman year at the University of Oregon. So, these were actually taken almost 2 yrs ago!
I’m always happy to do add a few headshots during family sessions, for those who may need a new one for work. Ashley needed some new headshots for work (she’s an attorney), so she threw on a shirt and blazer, after her family session, and we took a few quick shots while her wife got the kiddos loaded into the car. Success!
I have been photographing SheeAnna for YEARS and we have a blast every time. She’s one of those clients I just immediately clicked with (no pun intended) and I know we’ll be friends for ever, even though she recently moved far away.
Anyway, I love how different these two headshots are, even though they were taken only minutes apart.
Kate was absolutely wonderful to work with. She brought a fun attitude, as well as her smoldering eyes. This session was a beautiful blend of textures, movement and muted colors, in a very simple studio.
I photographed this session at Studio 22 in downtown Salem. I chose this location because I wanted a very simple, blank slate to shoot in, allowing the sole focus to be on this gorgeous woman. Miss S rocked all black outfits, but mixed it up with a dress, a vintage inspired bloomer set, and then a more traditional black lace lingerie outfit.
