Farewell For Now….

It is with a heavy (but excited) heart that after 8 years in business, I must say goodbye… for now. In an unexpected turn of events, my husband and I were offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and as a result, we are excited to announce that:

We Have Moved to New York City!

It was totally unexpected, and a massive leap of faith, but we are SO excited for this fun, new adventure in the Big Apple. Sadly, my business will not be coming with us, so I am no longer booking photography sessions. We absolutely adore Portland, and still think of it as home, so there’s a chance we may move back in a few years’ time! But until then, our new address will be in New York City.

After over a decade of dedicating my life to photography, and capturing the incredibly heartwarming life-events of my clients, I just couldn’t part with my website, (which I spent many, many hours working on, haha!). So for now, I will keep it alive, here on the interwebs, in remembrance of my years spent capturing moments in time, and of all the amazing people I got to meet along the way.

To my clients, thank you for all the wonderful memories.
I hope to see you again someday.

Baby's First Birthday Family Photos - Salmon Creek Vancouver, Wa.

Little Olivia turned one this past week! To celebrate her first birthday we decided to go to Klineline Pond and capture some portraits of the whole family together. Olivia broke out her Minnie Mouse ears to wear for her session, and was thrilled when a big, bright, pink balloon was brought out for photos. In all honesty, I think she was more interested in the pink tassle weighting it down, but hey, sparkles will be sparkles and tassels are exciting too. We walked along the path of Salmon creek and let Olivia pick up rocks and bark along the way -- one of her very favorite pastimes. In the end, I think it was a pretty darn cute birthday. Happy birthday little explorer!
