Welcome Riley!!
Two summers ago I was shooting Isabelle and Justin's wedding and now I'm able to capture them as parents! What an honor! I love being able to watch my couples and families grow.
Riley is such a sweet, beautiful newborn. Her hair is just fabulous!!! I loved being able to hold her and admire your cute little features. I felt she looked so little compared to my four month old I have at home. I can't believe how fast time goes! Four months ago I was holding my newborn baby! Lets make time stop for a little bit, please!
My heart was over flowing spending the morning with my friends Isabelle, Justin, Riley and Rome.
Thank you guys!!

Hannah + Justin
What a beautiful day in Oregon! The sun was shining bright:) We tried and soaked up as much vitamin D as we could while we explored the mountain top.
My heart was so happy photographing these two cuties. I worked with Justin before I decided to do photography full time. I've been able to see this relationship blossom from dating to seeing their wedding this summer! SO when Hannah called me asking to if I would capture their special day, I was thrilled!
Hannah and Justin brought their fur baby, Moose. Moose was in heaven, he was running around catching shadows! hehehe! I loved exploring this mountain top with you both. I can't wait till your wedding this summer.
I love you guys!

Yesterday we didn't get soaked!!! Can you believe it?! We missed the rain by just a little bit- yes!!

I can't wait to meet your new baby "brother" or "sister"- its gonna be a surprise!! She did name the baby- Baby Grey. Awe so cute!!

Kristie + Kevin
This was my last wedding of the 2016 season, and man was it an amazing one! Your about to see photos over load! This couples friendship and love just radiated. It was a pleasure to be a part of their special day, I enjoyed every moment!
This cabin was a project that Kevin, his dad and grandpa all worked together on. Having the wedding there was very special to them. This is a quite restful place that Kristie and Kevin can enjoy together. Both of them are mountaineering guides and in the winter they ski patrol Mt Hood together. I have to mention how impressed I was when I saw all the photos they had hanging at their ceremony. They've been on some incredible trips and adventures all around the world. These two are the most adventurous, outdoor couple I've ever met! What an inspiration!
Kristie was a busy bride, planning the event, making all the decorations, and all the flower arrangements. The day of the wedding all her wonderful friends and family help put it all together! Kristie's sister, (maid of honor) designed and built the arch. You all did an incredible job!
The guest set up their tents and camped out!
Love this family photo with their fur baby :) All dogs were welcome at this wedding, you'll see some of the other dogs that made it to the reception.

The Rich Family-
I enjoyed our time together so much! This little sweetheart was my best friend, she let me carry her all around! I was very pregnant at this point, so seeing me was a little funny! But that didn't stop us from having fun.
I just loved how playful and fun this family was; leaf fights, and getting tossed up in the air! They were out their to have a good time :)
I can't wait for the next time we get to play with each other!
xo!

I had a sweet morning visit with this family :) I enjoyed every minute I was with them, Kaley and Scott you guys are such amazing people. And seriously naturals at being parents! Newell is so blessed to have you as mommy and daddy.
I couldn't be happier for you to be a family of three!
Baby Newell is such a sweet adorable little boy. I can't wait to watch him as he grows up!
xoxox,

Man Megan you are one strong woman!! So much pain that turned into pure heavenly bliss!
Thank you so much for having me be a part of capturing this beautiful moment. As I was bawling in the corner hiding behind my camera.... :)
I love the village you have, your family is incredible! I just adore seeing you all in action with each other, the love and respect is just wonderful. Seeing your room full as your going thru labor and then having your miracle Kylie- it was so right and so special.
Congrats you guys!!! Kylie is one beautiful baby girl!

I was so excited when Laura contacted me to capture her family and her adorable baby bump. Laura is a professional photographer in Sherwood, and is amazing by the way!! Check her out - Elle Images! Our personalities just matched perfectly! I'm so excited about my new friend:)
I had so much fun playing with her son Hayden. He's such a handsome, fun, sweet boy! I loved the silly words that made him laugh, just a crack up! He's gonna be a fun older brother!
I can't wait to meet baby boy #2 this summer!
xoxo,
Amanda
Olivia Christine Cohn-
I had the honor of spending some time with this adorable family! My goodness they are wonderful! And they sure know how to decorate :) I loved this sweet nursery. With Olivia they didn't know what the gender was going to be, so they decorated with neutral colors. Which I LOVE!
Olivia was so precious, I just wanted to snuggle her! I adored her hair, she's one lucky lady!
I'm excited for your family of three!

I was so excited when my girlfriend got pregnant with her second baby!! I thought yes! Another cutie will be running around with Maya and Balian! I can't wait till the baby boy comes...... very soon!
You know what I was encouraging Rachel to do..... a photoshoot with aunt Panda!!!(aka me!) hehehehe!!I just can't pass up a beautiful memory of this gorgeous baby bump! Seriously look how stunning Rachel is!
Maya was such a sweetie during the shoot! She wanted cookie monster with her the whole time, so we got some great shots of them all together :) Thats why I just love lifestyle shoots, so real and raw.
I love you ladies!
Taylor + Brad
I was so excited when Taylor asked if we could do their engagement shoot in the snow! YES please! When we drove up the Mackenzie River, I got all giddy when I saw the beautiful trees covered in snow. It was like how kids feel on christmas eve!! I just knew we were going to have some fun!
We explored around in the snow, hiking a bit, relaxing a bit. There was a couple times when the snow was coming down so hard, we got soaked! Taylor and Brad were such troopers. We were in a true winter wonderland!
Oh I almost forgot to tell you , there was a rainbow over the falls. It was perfect!
I can't wait for your special day this summer!

I had such a fun shoot with you Amber. Hiking around Hendricks was awesome and I loved that we were able to get some photos of you in your cross country uniform. After hiking around, we drove down to University of Oregon and explored campus. I love U of O's campus!!
You looked so beautiful Amber! I can't wait for you to see your full gallery :)!

I've been so excited all summer for this couples special day!!! All the anticipation was right on, this day was perfect!! I just love Isabelle, I've known her for several years now and every time I'm with her she's such a sweetie. She's the most beautiful woman inside and out. (wait till you see the photos of her!!!!)
Sweet Cheeks Winery was a beautiful venue for the wedding. Everyone that was apart of it was amazing. And I've got to say they had the most stunning bridal party!! Seriously!!! It made picking out the photos for this post a challenge! I can't wait for everyone to see their online gallery with all the images :)
It was a pure joy to be apart and celebrate this wonderful couple. They truly are best friends and soul mates, there's no question about it. I look forward to seeing what this new season of life together brings them.... hopefully lots of babies!! just kidding.. but really!! ( hope that made you both laugh Isabelle and Justin :) )
I love you Isabelle and Justin!

I love when couples want to include their family dogs. Having a dog before you have kids, makes the dog your first born :) I love that she wasn't excluded from the shoot. She did amazing by the way!!
Tessa you looked absolutely gorgeous! Your glowing thats for sure!!!! I can't wait to meet you baby this fall, she's gonna be a beautiful little girl.

Georgia Gray! Age: 6months old
This little sweetie is way to precious to not share with you all! She was quite the model, full of smiles and giggles. Made my job so much fun! I couldn't stop repeating, "she is so cute, she is so adorable...." over and over!
Thank you for melting my heart, and giving me baby fever!!!
Sara+Johnny
I feel so blessed to be a part of this glorious day! Everything about this day was perfect! Everyone there could feel and see the love that these two and their families share with one another. Thank you for being the definition of LOVE and commitment thru all of life's challenges.
The best flower girl!!! She nailed it- did so good pulling her brother down the aisle.
I thought this was adorable, Sara's and Johnny's first son walking her down the aisle. He did awesome!
The ceremony was beautiful, not a dry eye there!
Kaley+Scott
Last summer I met Kaley and Scott out at Egge Farm celebrating Scott's brothers wedding. And I've just fell in love with these families, everyone is such sweet, kind, loving, funny, positive people. Every wedding I get to celebrate with them is a real blessing. These families sure know how to put on a great wedding!
When I walked into the salon to see Kaley getting ready, both Stacy and Vikki greeted me with open arms. Those ladies are fabulous!! I may have my numbers wrong, but I'm pretty sure Stacy did 10 ladies makeup! Thats amazing!! (she does wonders with makeup, has a Mary Kay makeup studio in Sisters Oregon) I also thought it was so special she had one of her closest friends travel to Oregon to come help and celebrate. Last June for Emily and Jakes wedding I had my best friend come and help me. Nothing like having a true friend beside you :) (Valorie Darling Photography, check her out she's such a great photographer!)
Kaley you just look stunning, such a gorgeous bride! Your dress was AMAZING! Wait till you scroll and see!!!
Thank you so much for letting me be the person to capture your special day and be along side of you to celebrate! You two are such a sweet couple. I know God has great plans for you both- Let Him lead the way :)
xo!
Kayla + Kyle
I was so excited when I got the video of Kyle proposing to Kayla!! She said YES! My cousin was so happy, she couldn't wait to share the news!
I knew this special day was coming, Kyle has been part of the family for years! Actually these love birds have been dating for 6 years, and we all knew that they were each others forever. I can't wait to capture your wedding next July! I love you both, xo!
I was so excited when my girlfriend from high school asked me to come capture moments of her sweet family. We had such a good time, chatting each others heads off, well actually probably me doing majority of the talking!! Sorry about that! I love having our boys so close in age, so much to discuss and compare :) I can't wait for Crew to get older so we can have play dates and mommy dates!
Crew's nursery was one of my favorite nursery's I've ever seen! You guys did such an amazing job decorating. So many creative, unique finds. Esty was their go to place for some of the amazing decor items you see.
The Lacey family. Crew your such a beautiful newborn baby! I feel so honored I got to spend the afternoon with you <3
I thought I would attempt a photo shoot of my family: my husband, baby and I. I had a feeling it was going to be a challenge, me directing, trying to be the "photographer" and also trying to be in the photo, keeping happiness with my husband and baby. Wow! That is why even professionals hire professionals!! I'm so thankful that I had Valorie Darling Photography do my maternity and newborn photos this last year. To be able to pass the job to her, where I can be the client and not have to play 5 different roles, its the way to go-AWESOME! (Val is so amazing, you have to go check out her work! Incredible photographer!!)
I feel like I was able to get some great shots of my beautiful husband and baby, so I was thankful for that :) I didn't want to miss the opportunity for 9month photos of Balian. I love you sweet gorgeous Balian. For his 1 year photos, I'm gonna hire one of my local professional friends:) Then I can be a wife and momma during the shoot:)
Okay, so now for some mess up photos! hahaha! The photo on the right, look at my finger, I'm pointing! Thankfully its not my middle finger!! The camera went off to fast! Note to self, always have fingers ready :)
Love how I'm completely covering Tommy....OOPS! If I was on the other side of the camera that wouldn't have happened!
Chelsea + Travis
Chelsea, the bride, is so incredible!! She had a vision for her perfect barn wedding, and that is was! She turned this beautiful farm out in Harrisburg into a wedding venue. She had every detail you could ever have, seriously amazing job!
Emily+Jake
When Emily called me to take photos for their 1 year anniversary, I was so excited! We decided to go to Egge farms (her families business) to relive the same place the wedding was at. These two are the perfect American Couple! Love you guys!
I felt so touched when Brittany asked me to take photos of her when she was pregnant and now being able to see Charlotte, my heart just melts! Funny story is we almost didn't make photos with Brittany while she was pregnant. It was a good thing we made the shoot happen the week we did, because Charlotte decided to come early. She arrived 1 week after the shoot!
This family of 4, well really 3... but they have the cutest dog thats part of the family, look so cute together! Josh is the odd man out with all the girls! I see lots of pink tutus and fun times with this family :)
Abby Crowell | Senior Rep for Marist High School
I had so much fun with Abby for her senior shoot. She was so comfortable with the camera, it was awesome! She nailed it!
I love this family!
Kayla is one of my close friends from college. I cherish these special moments with her and her family, thank you for always having me apart of each stage!
You'll see Chase and Myles are so much fun and active. Makes for a great lifestyle shoot! Love you Krempley's!!!
Kendall Bright| Willamette High School Senior Rep
I had so much fun with Kendall during her session. Lets just say she was a trooper! We played in the field, wrapped her up in a blanket, and made some wishes...
Christian Family
Summer 2014
I love working with this family! Seriously adorable, look at Riley and Thomas... Can't get any cuter!
Colton's one!
What a little cutie! We had so much fun playing together during this session, I had a blast!
What an adorable family....
Sister Love...
This shoot had a special place in my heart. These two beautiful women have a love and friendship for each other that can't be mistaken. These two don't get to live in the same state, so the weekend they were together they wanted to have a special photo session. My little sissy lives in another state to, so the whole time I was thinking I want to do a sister shoot!! They had the best idea!
Teri and Gena you both are such gorgeous woman inside and out! I love being able to work with you <3
Nathan's 1!!!
Kenzie, Brynlee, Nathan and I had so much fun playing around the other evening. Little did they know it would end with cake!! Nathan loved, I mean loved his cake. He would've been out there for hours! You can see at the end, he is evening trying to eat the plate the cake was on... hahahaha! So awesome!!
These kiddos are so cute, I just adore the Strasser Kids! They have a special place in my heart.... I know you all will enjoy!
Tiara Rodine
Senior Session 2014
So happy we were able to get a quick mini session in before her big graduation day! What a beauty she is :)! I loved seeing her friendship with her girlfriend Shay, they are like sisters! You ladies are going to have way to much fun this summer together!
Mackenzie Coplen (my beautiful cousin) is almost done with her undergrad from the University of Oregon! Whohoo!! We all couldn't be more proud of you. So excited to see what you have in store for the future.
We couldn't leave out her newest addition to the family, Koda! What a sweet sweet husky :)
Mandy and Andy Funk got married!!
What a wonderful day out at Along Came Trudy in Springfield Oregon. The day was filled with lots of family and kids! I loved every second seeing all the adorable little ones running around :) I was so impressed with Mandy and Andy's children, they were such great kids. And even better they were the first to step up with the mic to announce their love of their parents and soon to be siblings. (tear jerker!)
I'm so happy for this couple and their family!
Mandy has a very special place in her heart for her grandpa, and they were honored to have him marry them.
Johnny + Tara
What a beautiful evening this turned out to be! This was the one night that could work for my couple to get their engagement photos done, before the groom was off on a plane to pursue his career in professional baseball. We were hoping for clear skies, but instead Oregon gave us lots of rain. I said lets still do it Tara! We ended up having such a wonderful time, as they danced around in the rain, and walked through the beautiful strip of spring blossoms. Love was just pouring down. <3
I'm so excited for these two love birds to tie the knot! It's so neat to see their friendship and love bursting.
They've been friends since childhood, so we are all so happy its happening for them this year! I love you both Tara and Johnny!! Can't wait to see what amazing things your future will bring!
