This wedding last summer at Zenith Vineyard in the Willamette Valley was my hottest wedding of the year! It was well above 100 degrees and thank goodness for air conditioning inside. Everyone in the wedding party and family members were such troopers taking turns coming outside for portraits and everything ended up turning out beautifully. […]

This Lake Tahoe elopement (and big wedding!) has got to be one of my favorites of all time. One, because I got married in Truckee (for those of you unfamiliar with the area it’s one of the towns in the Lake Tahoe area) and this whole area is like home for me. Secondly, Jade and […]

What a sweet surprise it was to see some amazing fall colors at Laurelhurst Park in Portland, Oregon. I’m always looking for spots with a variety of colors for shoots in the fall and this was in December and the fall colors were still coming.

Abiqua Falls may be my favorite waterfall I’ve ever seen in the Pacific Northwest. It’s a great spot for an engagement shoot or elopement but is certainly for the adventurous spirit. I’ve been a handful of times hiking with my dogs but this was actually my first time officially doing a shoot here. At certain […]
