Dani + Jeff Elopement | Ridgefield, Washington
Believe it or not, this was my first Washington wedding! I have been taking Dani and Jeff’s family photos for a few years now and I just love their little family! I mean, they were practically married already, they just wanted to make it official finally. In a very small elopement style, it was just the two of them, their kids, and Dani’s parents, perfectly intimate!
Indie Quinn Newborn | Salem, Oregon
Isn’t that name just the cutest?! I told Kelli she should go into business thinking of baby names for people, seriously she picks the best names for kids! Anyway - this newborn shoot was set for the studio and the park, and even though Indie did not want to sleep, we still got some good shots with the whole blended family. Btw, they are the sweetest!
Jenny + Peter Wedding | Dallas, Oregon
Every wedding is special, but I have a special place in my heart for these two. Jenny and Peter are the same age I was when my husband and I got married and my son is the same age as them. It’s almost surreal looking at how young they are and knowing my husband and I were in their shoes just 19 years ago! It was a wonderful day and I’m so glad we got to be there!
Alyse + Nathan Wedding | Salem, Oregon
A few posts back I was able to show off Alyse + Nathan’s rainy day engagement photos and now I’m here to show off their big day! Alyse had a First Look with her brother’s and dad, then had one with Nathan. I love watching it unfold as they see her in her wedding dress for the first time! She had an amazingly long, beautiful veil to go with it, she wore that thing so well!
Hayner Maternity Session | Corvallis, Oregon
I’m pretty sure this is one of my favorite places and this was one of my favorite sessions. I wish I looked as good as Chelsea when I was pregnant! Seriously, she’s gorgeous! And the view is gorgeous and their daughter, Frankie, is gorgeous, I just love it all!
Check out more photos from this session!

RJ Senior | Stayton, Oregon
I know I say this a lot, but I swear this kid could be a model. I’m so serious! I even asked him if he was modeling his shoes lol. Anywho, pretty sure he said he was going to OSU next year to get a degree in Civil Engineering, but maybe he could do some modeling on the side lol. That’s crazy, civil engineering, that’s a lot of math so more power to him!
Molly + James Engagement | Salem, Oregon
These two are so sweet and just look at them, they could be models! I haven’t done a session at Deepwood in a long time, so I’m glad they picked it because it was perrfect! There was finally some sunny weather in between all the rain, plants are starting to bloom and look so good, and it wasn’t freezing lol!
Oliver Newborn | Woodburn, Oregon
Oliver is here!
He decided to show up 4 weeks early so this session was scheduled pretty quick!
I can’t get over how sweet he is! He fit perfect in the baskets and loved being wrapped up all cozy.

Francesca Grad | Willamette School of Law | Salem, Oregon
This is the second year I have been asked to take grad photos for students at Willamette School of Law and I love it every time! Even though they all go to the same school - they study different areas, all their backgrounds are different, and they want to pursue or work in areas that differ from the next graduate. It’s really cool to get to meet every one of them and learn their story.
Melissa + Jesse Wedding | Salem, Oregon
We just did the first wedding of our 2025 wedding season! It was a little last minute, but I’m glad they found me and we were able to get it booked so quick!
It also turned out to be perfect weather, the sanctuary was bright with so much bright light, and let me just say, the photos don’t do all the florals justice. They were incredible! Olson’s Fine Flowers did an AMAZING job!

Carolyn Newborn | Jefferson, Oregon
Dilly and Mike had a beautiful maternity and surprise session the studio in downtown Salem last month. Well, sweet little Carolyn was just born and they asked me to take her newborn photos. I obviously said yes to because why wouldn’t I?! I get to spend time with a squishy, adorable, new human? Uh yes, please!
