Farewell For Now….

It is with a heavy (but excited) heart that after 8 years in business, I must say goodbye… for now. In an unexpected turn of events, my husband and I were offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and as a result, we are excited to announce that:

We Have Moved to New York City!

It was totally unexpected, and a massive leap of faith, but we are SO excited for this fun, new adventure in the Big Apple. Sadly, my business will not be coming with us, so I am no longer booking photography sessions. We absolutely adore Portland, and still think of it as home, so there’s a chance we may move back in a few years’ time! But until then, our new address will be in New York City.

After over a decade of dedicating my life to photography, and capturing the incredibly heartwarming life-events of my clients, I just couldn’t part with my website, (which I spent many, many hours working on, haha!). So for now, I will keep it alive, here on the interwebs, in remembrance of my years spent capturing moments in time, and of all the amazing people I got to meet along the way.

To my clients, thank you for all the wonderful memories.
I hope to see you again someday.

Mt. Hood Bed & Breakfast Wedding

This stunning wedding took place at Mt. Hood Bed & Breakfast. Sokhorn & Jay planned their wedding around Oregon's beautiful snow-capped mountain. The sky was clear, and the sun bright, so vibrant orange and blue parasols were given out to wedding guests to provide shade during the ceremony. Guests had a perfect view of the mountain behind Sokhorn & Jay as they exchanged sweet, personalized vows to each other. Love was in the air, and wild flowers in bloom all around. It was a beautiful day from start to finish.

Cathedral Park & Urban Studio Wedding

Luke & Ai had a lovely, modern wedding, surrounded by family and friends at the Urban Studio in downtown Portland, Oregon. Luke & Ai love city life, and wanted to capture Portland's charm by photographing some portraits under the St. John's Bridge in Cathedral Park. The iconic turquoise bridge was the perfect blend of Portland’s beautiful urban architecture in the midst of lush, scenic landscape. Ai had a gorgeous bouquet and hairpiece made by Annie at Floral Sunshine, which matched the natural greenery around them during portraits. As the sun set, the lights dimmed in the Urban Studio and twinkle-lights all around the room glowed romantically for dinnertime ambiance. And what Portland night is complete without some doughnuts? In lieu of a cake, guests enjoyed an assortment of doughnuts from Portland’s famous VooDoo Doughnuts.
