I absolutely love helping small business owners with their brand and marketing photography! These businesses are their babies— to have someone trust me with that… well… it’s an honor. Plus, I get to learn all kind of fun stuff and have some pretty awesome experiences, too!

Every now and then I get a request for a photo session that is a little out of the box… this one was definitely new for me! Three months ago a repeat client, Missy, reached out and asked if I’d help her celebrate her 40th birthday with a cake smash!

I’m working hard over here and switching up the way I do some things, so in the spirit of new beginnings I thought it was only best to do a quick introduction with some “fun facts” about me. =) It’s so much easier to feel comfortable during your portrait session (and your wedding, for sure!) when you know a little bit about your photographer as a person! So, here you go!

I was a last minute addition to Kelsey and Calvin’s vendor list, due to an emergency with their original photographer, and I am SO glad that I had the opportunity to work with them! Their wedding, at Creekside Farm in Harrisburg, Oregon, was beautiful! It was a gorgeous, sunny day… even the goats came out to greet us!

When Jillyan hired me on to document her October wedding at a private residence in Veneta, Oregon, she told me that she didn’t really have a shot list for me, but just wanted me to take pictures of their friends and family having a good time. So, I did!

One of my favorite parts (so far!) about photographing weddings, is to see all of the different themes, styles, and WORK that the couple puts into them! Melisa LOVES the Eiffel Tower and had many replicas and other Parisian elements in her collection that she was able to use to decorate Redgate Vineyard in Independence, Oregon.

My first wedding! I was very excited to be able to fill in last-minute for their previous photographer and have the opportunity to capture their day (and try out my skills with this new format!).
