A little about me...

When it comes to my art, emotions are my inspiration. And when I capture a wedding in pictures, I’m inspired by every single moment. The drama and power of photography has captivated me all my life. From the first moment I explored Portland’s monthly gallery exhibits to the first time I developed prints myself, I knew my future was carving its space: I would be a professional photographer.


In 2007, I began shooting weddings. The excitement and energy of each event is intoxicating—and when I know I’ve captured the emotion of the moment, there’s no better feeling in the world. To get to that point, I start my journey with the bride and groom before I even pick up the camera. I’m inquisitive by nature, and understanding the details, design and style of a couple’s wedding can transform the tone of my images from beautiful to breathtaking. 


I shoot a full range of photos, but “portraits” hold a special place in my heart. Portraits are intensely personal and can be incredibly rewarding for a photographer. When a mother looks at a portrait of her daughter and says “oh, that’s so her” with the slightest smile on her face, I know I’ve given them something special. When I shoot portraits of family and guests, I hope that they’ll feel amazing when they see themselves in print. To deliver such emotion is a gift for me, and if I’m doing my job right, it’s a gift to my clients, as well. 


What I want for my clients is to bring every moment to life, to shape the story of their special day through my lens. I hope I can do exactly that for you.

2010 Spring Family Photography Sessions – What to Wear!

I love when clients want my advice on what to wear to a family photography session. My advice is always the same, chose a color scheme. By color scheme, I don’t mean matching every article of clothing. In fact, I highly discourage that! My example is this: Let’s say you want to choose the color plum. I would suggest the mother wear a shade of plum and an accessory (scarf or shall) that is lilac or light purple. The father could wear a nave blue top to keep it a bit more masculine and the child should wear a top that incorporates similar blues and purples, argyle perhaps? Anyway, that may be a very detailed example, but you get the point.

As I was searching for example to suggest for my spring mini session families, I found a definite trend for children’s clothing this spring. That trend is denim! Of course denim is always the safe choice, but I noticed a theme that in the past was a major faux pas: denim on denim. What I’m seeing is the more denim, the better and I have to say, I love it!

These are some of the cute things I found at H&M, Gap, and Kitson.
