This was an entertaining and chilly winter family session at a Sno-Park in beautiful Bend, Oregon. As a local photographer in Bend, Oregon I had worked with Annie several months prior and captured the milestone of her senior year with a senior photo session. When Mom reached out to book a family portrait session I…

The day this family session was scheduled, I woke up to windy, rainy, ugly conditions here in Central, Oregon. Usually, Bend weather can change drastically within 15 minutes but the forecast showed we were going to receive rain, gusts of 45 mph wind and more rain throughout the day. I reached out to the client…

This wintery wonderland at Shevlin Park was the perfect setting for Victoria’s Bend senior photo session. I don’t often shoot portraits in the winter but after this session I want more winter wonderland sessions! It was worth the cold fingers and wet feet. Victoria was such a good sport on this cold November day. For…
I’ve been dreaming about that warm summer sun and those long days lately. In other words, it seems like the ideal time to blog Malika and Michael’s bright, colorful, and fun backyard summer anniversary party.

Summer is quickly approaching. The second I heard the Cascade Lakes Highway was opened in May, I knew I had to get a session scheduled up there. The evening drive was gorgeous, snow lined the road, Bachelor was looking mighty handsome still covered in snow. Sparks Lake was still closed due to the snow so…

Holiday chaos is settling down so couples now have the opportunity to start planning their upcoming weddings. As a wedding photographer, one of…
It’s official — I LOVE shooting in Central Oregon. The color palette of golds and greens and earthy tones. How it lends itself to creating dark, moody black & white images. Shooting as the sun is dipping behind ALL of the beautiful trees. Dipping low and casting glorious golden light on my subjects! It’s…

Mackenzie was so incredibly easy to photograph. We had a great (chilly!) afternoon making beautiful images around town. Part of the reason I love photographing senior girls is to see their unique style and personalities emerge while making photographs together. I could instantly tell what a strong, talented young woman Mackenzie is. <3
