Lynne is a wonderful soul with one of the biggest smiles in all of Oregon. No kidding, and it’s no wonder she makes buying or selling a house so painless. Everyone loves Lynne! She is so easy to talk to and feels like a friend in the entire process. I think the photos we captured […]

I have goosebumps right now from a photo I just looked at from Juan and Kha-Mei’s intimate beach wedding. There’s something about the love these two souls have for one another.

In my family photography adventures in Portland so far, Hudson has to be one of the most photogenic kids I have ever, ever met. But the thing is, he goes about it so effortlessly. Hudson would be in his own world with a newly discovered pinecone and then swing his gaze over to me for a […]
