NATURAL LIGHT FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER SERVING BEAVERTON, HILLSBORO and the surrounding PORTLAND METRO AREA.
About me: I’m a wife, mother, and a small business owner. I’m a transplant, discovering a new way of life. I’m hard working, a problem solver and creative, but scattered and not a perfectionist. I believe in myself but doubt all my efforts. I’m an eternal optimist. I’m on a journey to grow as a human and accept any hard lessons that come along the way.
I like Starbucks and Dutch – because I like to get my fix at the drive thru [right mamas?!]
Most weeks you’ll find me and my two rowdy boys at the park getting dirty and making new playground buddies or roaming OMSI. We are always up for a new adventure. On the weekends we try and get outdoors, preferably in our camper van taking to the roads, seeing new things and possibly breaking down on the way home with my handsome guy figuring out how to get us moving again.
I’ve been behind the lens as a portrait/wedding photographer since 2009 and still love watching the interactions between people and the ones they love, especially those little ones.
About my work:
I love families who are looking to capture their life as it is now. Moms who don’t care they haven’t lost those 5 extra pounds but want their babies to remember how mommy cuddled them. Dads who are probably awkward about having their picture taken but willing to swaddle their newborn in front of the lens because they know all too soon she’ll be off to prom with some young punk. Toddlers with all the scrapes and boo boos life gives them. I love siblings who squabble and little boys who won’t sit still. Sisters who pose with sass and little fresh faced babies that poop on my props. Because life? It doesn’t stand still. And it most definitely isn’t perfect.
I want the moms who eagerly wait for a Shutterfly coupon so they can make their free 8×8 book. I want the moms who purchase my beautiful leatherbound albums so when their son is 21 and engaged, she can show her soon to be daughter-in-law his furrowed little brow. I want parents who value the printed image, because this is what is handed down to future generations. Digital is fast, easy and binds together family across the globe. But the moments I want to give to my families are the ones that begin on the couch, hip to hip, turning pages together.
I promise to do my best to capture my families as they are, in this moment. My intention for their session is to preserve a bond, a moment, a look, and translate that into something tangible. There are moments and memories to be carried on – for not all lives are lived to their expected days and photographs help to heal the empty space left behind. And babies grow up and lovers grow old – and we want to remember that we loved every minute of it.
