We photographed Pat, Laurie and Emma for the first time about a year and a half ago. Emma was, then, an adorably chubby cheeked baby who I literally couldn’t stop kissing for the entire session. She was just that sweet. We photographed her at home, in her bedroom, and in their backyard in the grass...

How to look your best in photographs • Portland Oregon Photographers
One of my good friends, Charlotte Geary is a wedding and portrait photographer in Manitou Springs, Colorado. She posted this on her blog today and it was such great advice (and worded so wittily, in typical Charlotte style) that I just had to repost it for our clients. This is a must-read before any kind...
Our little Pea • Portland Oregon Child Portraits
You know that old adage about cobblers and their shoes? We take a lot of photos of our daughter. A lot. Maybe too many. But most of them are taken on the fly whilst living our life. They end up on our hard drives and never see the light of day. The other day we...
One Fine Day™ with the Fishers • Portland Oregon Family Portraits
I’ve been a fan of Stacey Lynn for, well, at least as long as she’s been on the 105.1 Morning Buzz with Nelson and Terry. She always seemed like a doll and when I met her last year, I was thrilled to discover that she really IS that sweet. She’s the genuine article. And a...
The Huberty-McClellan Family • Portland Oregon Lifestyle Photography
Sometimes I feel like meeting new clients is like playing that old game where you used Kevin Bacon’s name and tried to see if you could find a way in which you were connected to him. We meet clients through clients and then realize that there are connections in other ways too, and then we...
A whole lotta joy to be given • Portland Oregon Children Photographers
Many of you know how involved we are in the community, and one of our favorite charities hands-down is the Children’s Cancer Association. It’s an amazing organization begun in memory of Alex, a little girl who lost her battle to cancer after a brave and inspirational two-year battle. Eleven years later, CCA provides what they...
Katz family • Portland Oregon Family Photographers
Michelle is a friend of a friend who I have seen in passing oh, about a million times. And one day this summer she said, “You know, we really should do family pictures with you guys.” I was game, of course. And then we got to their house last week and I saw her boys…...
It’s that time again… • Portland Oregon Lifestyle Family Photographers
I love the build-up to the holiday season mostly because I am a self-declared holiday junkie. I love Halloween and dressing up and little children meandering the neighborhood streets trick or treating. I love Thanksgiving and cooking for three days. And no, I’m not being ironic. But most of all, I love the winter holidays....
Hailey’s Simchat Bat • Portland Oregon Family and Event Photographers
Many people are familiar with the Jewish bris, which is performed on the eighth day after a baby boy is born to celebrate his life and give him a name in the Jewish tradition. The tradition that is less well-known is the Simchat Bat, the naming ceremony for little girls. We had the enormous pleasure...
Charlton Family • Portland Oregon Family & Child Photographers
We met the Charltons nearly two years ago, and since then all of our lives have taken some interesting twists and detours. But every once in a while we’d be in contact and Dara would say, “I really want you to photograph my family!” And now, at last, we’ve done just that. And oh, what...
