Things have gotten a little different recently with photography requirements in the age of COVID. The biggest two changes are that your photographer is required to be masked and to remain at least six feet away from you and your family. I stand behind these precautions 120%, but they do create some challenges. Wearing a mask means that your children (and pets!) can’t see my smile. This one is TOUGH for me from a heartstrings perspective. I want your little ones to feel comfortable with me as soon as possible, so my challenge to myself is to up my game verbally. Apologizes in advance if I’m a little “extra” at your session due to this. Make sure to have your morning coffee before you arrive. ;)

Read MoreMy job is to document a moment. To capture emotion. The specific emotion is irrelevant. They are all important and all worthy of memories. Most of my images show love and joy, but every now and then other emotions sneak in.

This session at Round Lake in Camas, WA was no different! This little man just celebrated his 2nd birthday, and his mom hired me to stop time for just one minute.
Read MoreI want my children to have access to our family photos whenever they want to look at them… not hidden away in a drawer, or in a folder on a locked laptop or password protected website.
I want this for YOUR children… and your grandchildren.
Read MoreI’ve been a photographer for decades… and I’ve been a runner for about 4 years. I never really thought that I’d have the chance to put those two together, but, surprising, it’s crept up more than once!
