Ashley, Jeff, and big sister Josie came in to my studio this spring with the newest addition to their family: Sweet baby Ethan! Reconnecting with Clients It was great to see this family again. I photographed Josie for them when she was a newborn, and I always love reconnecting with my families and seeing them grow. It makes me feel so happy and fulfilled when clients choose me over and over again. The fact that they are putting their trust in me to handle their most precious

This is what senior portraits look like when we let your personality lead! I had such a fun time with Genevieve capturing a moment in her senior year that shows off her awesome creativity and the fun, artistic side of her personality. Portrait of an Artist as a Young Woman Genevieve is an artist and wanted her senior portraits to showcase her passion for painting. I always love highlighting the things that make each person unique. I think this is one reason I love senior sess

My last newborn session of 2025 was with one of my favorite families. This is the third baby I have photographed for Jesika and Mike and it is such a beautiful experience every time. They make the most adorable children! It was so fun to have this couple back in my Eugene, Oregon studio. I love reconnecting with my families and it’s such a privilege to watch them grow and to be there for some of the most important moments of their lives. Best Friends It was especially fun to

Who would have thought that after photographing mostly newborns the last 14 years, I would enjoy working with teenagers so much? This senior session with Jackson was the perfect way to close out 2025—looking to the future with confidence and intention. His look says it all! Jackson came to my Eugene Oregon portrait studio for a Petite Senior session. These streamlined sessions include just a single backdrop and one outfit. But as you can see, we can still play with the look a

I’ve been so excited to meet this baby girl ever since I did her parents’ maternity sessions (one at a local rose garden and one in my studio here in Eugene, Oregon). It was wonderful to see Jessica and Nino again and to document this exciting next chapter of their family’s story: the arrival of their beautiful daughter, Mayari! Mayari really was absolutely gorgeous, with a full head of dark hair and the sweetest little face. Mom and Dad wanted pinks and purples so we picked

Such a beautiful studio maternity session with this stunning mama-to-be! Pregnancy has a power all its own, and she wears it with the kind of grace that feels iconic. She was absolutely glowing in these images! Amanda and Nathan were hoping for an outdoor session, but November in Oregon is a little unpredictable. Sometimes the weather is gorgeous, and sometimes it’s more…wet and drippy. We were hoping for some late-autumn sunshine but the weather was not on our side. On the d

It was so lovely seeing Ashley, David and Simon in the studio again and to welcome new baby brother Finley! We had such a fun session with this little guy. Snuggled Up and Dreaming Big Finley’s parents preferred neutral colors, so we used lots of whites, grays, and soft blues. I love the tranquil, dreamy look of colors like these. And Finley was amazing through the entire session, peaceful and perfect. He slept most of the time so he made it very easy to get the most adorable

I’m so excited to share this beautiful maternity session with all of you! Jessica actually did two maternity sessions with me. The first was a sunset session at the rose gardens, which turned out so pretty! She also wanted to do some studio maternity portraits—which is what I’ll be sharing today. If you’re wondering why you might choose to do two maternity sessions—it really is so much fun! If you love both outdoor and studio images, then why choose? With two sessions we get

Just dreaming of summer as I look back on this sweet sibling milestone session from last year! It was so fun to reconnect with this family! I photographed Lauren and Charles’ oldest child, Sam, as a newborn, but they had moved away from the area since so I missed getting to meet Isabel as a baby. But when they came back to Eugene, they got in touch to see if we could capture some beautiful golden light photos before the summer left us. Of course, I was delighted! Summer Eveni

The weather is still chilly here in Eugene, but we’re also getting to that time of year where I know spring is just around the corner. I’m definitely looking forward to the sunshine—and to another season of outdoor sessions with families! Outdoor Family Sessions in Eugene, OR Last year I did my outdoor family sessions at Perkins Peninsula Park near Fern Ridge, and the pictures turned out so beautifully! The park was a perfect photo spot, with areas of open grass, mature trees
