Owen is the youngest munchkin of our family friends. A couple weeks ago he was out playing and had a freak accident that caused an incredible amount of brain trauma. He was rushed to the hospital with swelling and bleeding on the brain. He had several surgeries, and at at least one point, his parents … Continue reading Owen – Week 1

Senior shoot – Caleb
Caleb is one of the nicest seniors you'll ever meet. He's a lumberjack, through and through, an adventurer, an outdoorsmen and a fan of his family.

Family Shoot – Shanks family
Andrea was one of my son's teachers for first grade. She's amazing - super fun, super organized and super engaging. She even got him to like reading!

Family Shoot – Frugards
The Frugards are another awesome family from my kid's school. For their shoot we decided to work at their home. I love love love shooting a family in their everyday environment, capturing the things they actually do from day to day. It makes everyone feel at home and comfortable so much more quickly. And we … Continue reading Family Shoot – Frugards
Family shoot – Pflegers
The Pflegers are a super fun family needing some updated family photos and some head shots of the girls. We went to the same studio as the Slyters and the girls showed me their dance moves.

Senior Shoot – Emory
Emory loves to read and to write and to be outside in the gorgeous Pacific North West forests. Her first novel is just about ready to be published and I for one can not wait to read it. (Click any image to enlarge)
Branding Shoot – Stephanie
Stephanie saw the results from the Frugard's shoot and got in touch with me about a branding shoot - photos that show her working her business in the awesome way she does. Stephanie is an autoimmune disease management coach and wanted photos that showed her meal prepping, living life fully with her munchkin, and being able … Continue reading Branding Shoot – Stephanie
Day in the life – Third Grade Teacher
One of my favorite things to photograph is people as they live. Seeing the everyday interactions and activities, captured into what we photographers like to call a "moment," makes the specialness of everyday so much more apparent. I recently had the honor of sitting in one local teacher's classroom for the day. Ms. Cindy McGean … Continue reading Day in the life – Third Grade Teacher
