Bend Family Photographer
Summertime is my favorite time for many reason, one of them is because I get the opportunity to work with families by photogra hing them. Whether it is families visiting Central Oregon on their summer vacation and they realize it is the perfect place for updated family portraits, family reunion or it’s local families or first time parents in Bend, I get to create memories for them. After Covid-19 began, travel ceased and families were unable to visit their loved ones. We began living with the pandemic and it really hit me easy it is to take spending time with those we love, when we want really is. Photographing families is such a joy to me.
