What Should I Wear to my Photo Session?
If you want my advice on what to wear, I will gladly give it! If you cant decide between a couple outfits, send me photos and I’ll let you know what I think you should wear that will be good for the overall aesthetic. I tell everyone to wear something they are comfortable in!
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!
Laurin Newborn + Family | Salem, Oregon
I had the honor of documenting sweet newborn Laurin with his parents AND his surrogate’s family! Ludwig reached out to me about last minute newborn photos with their newborn before they leave Oregon. Luckily I was free and we were able to schedule it! Bush Park was the perfect setting on Wednesday, it was gorgeous outside!
Dilly Studio Maternity Surprise | Salem, Oregon
Dilly and Michael are defintely ready for this baby to get here, pretty sure the only thing left to do was maternity photos so we got those booked quick!
Originally, it was supposed to be at Minto Brown buuut Oregon weather had different ideas. Thankfully there was a spot at Studio 22 in downtown Salem!
Yes, she totally did show up in a shark onesie lol!
Business Branding + Headshots | Salem, Oregon
Branding photography can be anything from photos of an office, action shots, or products a business makes or sells. Headshots are pretty self-explanatory lol, BUT I love being able to get updated photos of people they can use on websites, business cards, and social media.
College Grads 2025
How do you document this special time in your life?
You plan a photo sesh - duh.
That’s what I’m here for! Take me around your campus, show me the buildings you spent the most time in, the places that are significant to you. Let’s get a photo of you in front of the university sign in your cap and gown. Throw that gown over your shoulder and walk up those brick steps, through those giant coloumns, and into the next season of your adult life!
Navarra Gardens Styled Shoot | Willamina, Oregon
Navarra Gardens - This place is seriously like something out of a fairytale. Not even kidding. At this styled shoot there were a bunch of different stations set up with different backgrounds, decor, and couples. There were also a so many other photographers there so it probably felt like paparazzi to the models lol!
Alyse + Nathan Engagement | Stayton, Oregon
Alyse and Nathan did a great job! It was pouring at times, sprinkling at others, but we had a great time getting photos all over the grounds. This was one of the best sessions! Both of them were troopers even when it was pouring. I love when you can feel the love between people like this!
Iliyah + Nick Wedding | Brownsville, Oregon
Iliyah + Nick’s wedding was a perfectly PNW celebration. Complete with fog, rain, mud, and so many smiles! The view was amazing!
Baby Arlo | Gervais, Oregon
I miss my kids being tiny like this, where they get all snuggly and warm and smile while they’re dreaming. I love being able to capture moments like this for new parents!
Kendallyn + Austin | Smith Rock, Redmond, Oregon
I just have to share this session because I fricken love it. This has been a place I have wanted to visit for such a long time and this session gave me an excuse to drive 3 hours to see it in all it’s glory, AND stop for lunch to visit some friends in Redmond!
Kennedy + Colin Wedding | Portland, Oregon
Definitely a wedding to remember in the heart of downtown Portland! Kennedy & Colin’s wedding was an absolute blast to witness and the after party was awesome! Check it out!
Kylie Senior Session | Corvallis, Oregon
I love doing senior photo shoots because I get a lot of one-on-one time with each of them. Helping them pose, dragging out those authentic smiles, and getting to chat about what they want their future to look like. Even kids who are not comfortable in front of the camera end up taking some great photos that they will have forever. Snapshots of them right now at this stage of their life; images to commemorate this big milestone they are set to achieve this year!
