I believe that the first purpose of a work of art is to convey truth and the second is to reveal beauty. I know that might sound a little corny, but there you have it. I’m not interested in a thousand posed pictures, (but maybe ten.) I don’t want you to look back on your event and think, “Oh, I remember when we posed for that and when the photographer made us stand there and then she couldn’t get the flash right so we had to wait for the….”

That is not my idea of a successful photoshoot.

My goal is to stay out of the way as much as possible on the day of your event but be there to gently guide you into the best you. (That sounds confusing and grammatically incorrect, but its not, I promise.) Photographing people is my passion because you will never laugh, kiss, or even sneeze the same way twice. I do not only want to simply make a visual record of your day, but help you relive the emotions, beauty and truth in your life when you see the images.


I have had a camera around my neck for seven years and have been shooting weddings since 2006. I graduated from George Fox University, earning a degree in Studio Art with an emphasis in Photography.

Amanda and Simran – Wedding Album

Simran and Amanda’s wedding was last month under the St. John’s bridge in Portland. I am very excited to present their wedding album proofs to you. They ordered the Canvas Photo Cover album with watercolor pages. It will be gorgeous. I am pretty excited. Seriously.

Miss Ashley – Portland Pin Up Boudoir Photography

Ashley made my job way too easy! Perfect pin up hair and makeup, flawless skin and poise. Photographing her at this classy downtown hotel was a delight. I do like my job.

Congratulations Tod (Papa) and Crystal!

I want to send out a big congratulations to my dad and his new fiance – they are now officially engaged and on their way to planning the big day! Tod proposed by singing “The Best is Yet to Come” to Crystal. She didn’t know what was going on or why he was being a dork in front of his family – but he showed her! She of course said YES, but not until they got some good smooches in. Congratulations again, love you both!
