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. Everything foliage was pretty late this year so keep an […]

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 […]

Did you know about this gorgeous Redwood tree forest just outside the bustling city of Portland, Oregon? It’s in Hoyt Arboretum, which is a subset of Washington Park, more specifically the Redwood Deck area of Hoyt. It is my favorite little corner of the park transporting you to the Redwoods with lush green ferns, insanely […]

This was a really special engagement session atop of Mt Tamalpais in Marin County, CA because it’s where I grew up! I grew up in a small town called Tiburon, California which is in the North Bay just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco. In high school my favorite thing to do with […]

To be honest, my new favorite place to shoot in the PNW might be North Cascades National Park. It has been on my bucket list to visit since I moved up north and it did not disappoint. It was quieter than I expected (even on a weekend?) because it had been so smokey for most […]

These two came all the way from Texas to celebrate their anniversary at Cannon Beach in Oregon. It was one of the most epic sunsets and reflections at low tide that I’ve ever freaking seen. Mackenzie actually surprised Jamie with the shoot, originally telling him they were “going night swimming with sharks” so he would […]

There’s something about the Oregon Coast that gets me every time. The landscape is wild and dramatic in some places and simple in others. All the way from the southern Oregon coast in Brookings where you find epic rock faces and land bridges to the very northern cute town of Astoria. It’s nearly impossible to […]
