About Me

I'm a mom of four (two teens, a 4 year old on the ASD spectrum and a baby) and wife. My son has recently started working as my assistant on some sessions.

I'm a born, raised, and die-hard Oregonian.

I need coffee to function properly in the morning, or a good chai tea latte.

I love people and seeing them smile, laugh and have fun.

Weddings always make me cry.

I love a good girl's night, but I'm more of a family person and homebody.

I love football - GO DUCKS!

Fall and Spring are my favorite seasons.

I love the mountains and the beach, and finding new places in between.

Four of my favorite activities are baking/cooking, hiking, reading, and laying in my hammock.

My love of photography started very young with a 110mm camera in hand, but my appreciation blossomed in high school and college photography classes, old school black and white darkroom style.

I love most types of music, am a (not so secret) Britney fan, and will always prefer 90’s and early 2000’s throwback, with some country mixed in.

I love shows that make me laugh, cry, and gasp in surprise.

I was a band nerd all through middle and high school playing clarinet, bass clarinet, and tenor sax in jazz band, wind ensemble, and marching band.

I could live off Mexican and Italian food, and cake (you can’t forget the cake).

Oh, and one last thing...I just can't wait to take your photos! 📷
