Poet Family

Another great family session from the last couple of weeks! I headed up to the Poet’s family farm just outside of Dexter/Lowell to get some family photos before the holidays. We kept the photo session short and had a lot of fun, as you’ll see in some of the images.

Sylliaasen Family

Another holiday family session for some friends, the Sylliaasen family from Washington. They recently had twin girls and it was so great to get to photograph them. Despite the cold weather, they really cooperated and we had a great time!

Emery Family

Our good friends found themselves in Oregon around Thanksgiving this year and we made some time to get together and photograph their family. We had a really good time getting some shots and hanging out in their parent’s backyard. This photo shoot really shows how we can have a fun time with everybody and get some quality shots in a short period of time.

Emerson & Reese

On a recent trip to Southern California, I had the opportunity to photograph two awesome girls: Emerson & Reese. They are the daughters of some very good friends that are supposed to live in Oregon, but don’t for some reason…

I got to photograph these two a while ago at Laguna Beach. Check out that photo shoot here.

Lanie & Jacob Engagement Session

My brother-in-law Jacob recently got engaged and I had the privilege of shooting his engagement pictures. Him and Lanie are such an awesome couple and their ideas for the shoot were really cool! Super excited for the wedding, super excited to have Lanie be part of the family.

Wish I could put some more shots out there but I don’t want to give away the save the date cards we designed before people get them in the mail…

Ashley & Joseph’s wedding at Ogren Gardens. A great country just off River Road in Eugene. Old barn, gazebo, gardens, trees, grass, amazing venue!

MOST UNIQUE COUPLE/WEDDING

Kylie & Jake in Silverton. Rain in the forecast so everybody came to together days before the wedding and transformed a family property into the perfect country venue. Amazing.

Jessica & Erik at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art. A great couple that really chose to have fun on their wedding day. No stress, plenty of laughs and a great time all around. These two are awesome.

Christy & Jesse in Elkton. Married next to a trout pond at a lodge in Elkton. They are truly a unique and interesting couple with great hearts and personalities. They love the outdoors and the wedding reflected that in so many ways.

BRIDE’S HAIR

Let’s just get it out there: I love natural looking hair for weddings. If you wear your hair a certain way all the time, why change it up on your big day? Kelsey’s hair looked great! Simple, elegant, and red.

Ashley rocking the messy bun like nobody’s business. Great detail, took plenty of time to do. She wore it perfectly.

Stephanie picked a perfect style for a super windy day at Timberline. I loved the natural look, yet beautiful as it should be for her wedding day.
