Tyler & Alleigh Smith Rock Engagement
March 26, 2019
This was such a special session for Bryan and I for so many reasons. The most obvious reason is because of Tyler and Alleigh. They are amazing friends of ours who have been there to support us, to lean on, and to offer encouragement; best of all we've shared some pretty epic and fun times together! This was definitely one of those epic times! A one...

March 11, 2019
This was the best welcome home we could have asked for! After two months of taking a break from client photography while we were in Central America we've been itching to get back to work.
Our good friends Tyler and Alleigh were apparently itching for us to get back too. Tyler hatched up a perfect plan to propose to Alleigh that involved our handma...

Matthew & Hannah Gresham Fall Wedding
November 12, 2018
It's November and Fall color displays are everywhere here in Oregon and Washington. Every year I'm in awe over the beauty of the changing leaves, and even though it's not my personal favorite time of year, I know that for so many of you it is. That why I can't wait for you all to see one of my all time favorite fall weddings!
This was our first ti...

Selene's downtown Portland senior session
October 26, 2018
Portland is so beautiful in the fall. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to highlight the brilliant fall colors in the heart of the city, but fall was everywhere! We found golden light as it was setting in between two enormous buildings, we found red ivy climbing up the side of a wall, we found rows of yellow trees lining a street, and a sidewalk full of...

Steve & Kassie
Bryan and I were so excited about Steve and Kassie's session last weekend. Our little PNW Fall has been in a bit of a dry spell for a couple weeks, and with the sun shinning, by the end of a beautiful afternoon in the 70's its hard to believe its not Summer anymore. Well, we know it's not going to last and the rain is already in t...

Summer & Justin Kalama Family session

The year has just flown by! I can't believe that last Summer we were photographing Justin and Summer's family and here we are again, except for now, their precious little girl is a TWO year old! Two is a great age to photograph. Toddlers have boundless energy, faultless curiosity, awesome personalities and big hearts that make the best memories; an...

Sam & Ashlyn
It was such a treat for us to shoot a wedding so close to home. You could almost say Ridgefield is our backyard, and as such we felt at home here with Sam and Ashlyn. As we welcomed the first week of fall, we also welcomed those leaves eager enough to have started turning colors and changing the landscape here at our local wildlife...

We drove the Columbia River Gorge Scenic Byway on the Washington side. Clouds blanketed the sky, deep blue in color. The rising sun made its way to the horizon, its golden rays warmed up the clouds, the hills, the trees and eventually us. We watched as the sun put a spotlight on the popular Vista House across the gorge.
Our spotlight was on Matt a...

Sam & Ashlyn's Ridgefield Engagement
September 10, 2018
It was perfect. The weather, the tree, the field, the view, the sunset, the couple, it was perfect.
Ashlyn grew up in Ridgefield. Ever since she was a girl, she dreamt of having her wedding pictures taken under these trees, in the middle of this field, with this view in the background. So, when the owners of the property gave her and Sam permissio...

Ever since I read an article on kayak camping in the Sunset magazine's May 2017 camping guide issue, I've been dying to go. Kayaking is something we regularly do, living near so many rivers and lakes its pretty easy to load up the boats and pack a simple meal after work to go enjoy some calm waters. Its my favorite time to go out. As the wind dies...
