where connection Becomes your legacy
Parenthood doesn't wait for perfection – and neither do I. The beauty is already present in the way they gently reach for you while you look down at them with love and pull them into your arms. As a Portland family photographer, I believe what matters most is that you simply show up as you are. That's where the magic lives.
You've seen the number of photos sitting on your phone skyrocket since becoming a parent. And that's where they stay. Not because any aren't worthy of being printed, but because the mental load you carry makes it too overwhelming to circle back around to. I'm here to ease that burden for you. When we're done, you'll not only have photos you love, but something to finally hold onto.
You pick your favorites. I'll do the rest. Every session includes a complimentary album designed by me.
An invitation to come as you are
You don't have to perform here. This is a space where your love is enough, where your family can simply exist, and still be beautifully seen. With a blend of fine art and lifestyle photography, I’ll help you celebrate your most cherished chapters with the ones you love most. You can take comfort in knowing your portrait experience will be meaningful, ease-filled, and rooted in the ordinary moments you want to hold onto forever.
IF YOu'RE LOOKING FOR
I'm here to help you document your special seasons and make sure you can enjoy them for the long haul. Your family receives digital files to share, print, or archive in addition to a physical photo album to hold in your hands. This way, you can turn the clock back to this chapter anytime you want.

My clients always get to choose their level of comfort when it comes to sharing images publicly online. Whether you don't mind being featured at all, would prefer non-identifiable photos only to be shared (i.e. hands, side profiles, details, etc.), or would like to keep your images completely to yourselves, YOU get the final say.
Your paid portrait time belongs to you, not my marketing. If I ever want to record "behind-the-scenes" video, I will always ask for your permission first.
