Meet sweet little baby, Cal! Just 3 days old, and big brother is already putting him in his place!🚕

Oh, and can you guess where his parents went to college? There’s a clue in one of the pics! (Put your guess below 👇 )

TIP FOR THE EXPECTING: When Cal’s mom was approaching her due date, she asked if she needed to schedule his newborn session. My answer was, “let me pencil in your due date, so that I have a reminder of the approximate date of your baby’s arrival.” We do this so it’s top of mind and I’m careful not to schedule anything that can’t be rearranged those few days surrounding the due date. PLUS, I believe the best time for newborn images is BEFORE one week old. Why? Because at one week, they’re not as sleepy, they start to be more fussy, and baby acne starts to kick in for some.

Know anyone that’s expecting? Please share this post with them!

Congrats to PSU grad, Piper, Class of 2026!💚



One of the great things about Portland State University is that it’s located in downtown, PDX, which offers a multitude of backdrops for a great photo session!

I just love how her graduation pics turned out! Which one’s your

💍 Our first wedding of the season took place at in “Abigail’s Garden” last weekend and it was absolutely gorgeous! The rain stopped just in time and the setting was like a fairytale and just perfect …

Jordan + Bernadette chose dark green as their accent color and we found just the right backdrop to help set the scene for the reception under the big tent.🍃

She’s heading off to college soon. Her smile has changed (finally got those braces off✨😁), her style has changed and she’s grown a little - not just in height, but as a person. She’s more mature; more adult, less teenager, and so much closer to figuring out what she wants to be when she “grows up.” So why not commemorate this special stage with a mini photo session!📸 That’s exactly what we did!

Headshots are one of the smartest (and easiest) investments your company can make and hosting a headshot day PAYS OFF.🤑

1) Strong, consistent images and branding for your company.
•consistent, lighting🔅
•consistent style (same photographer, same camera, same backdrop)📸
• the recruiting team and website developer will thank you for not having to use a mix of phone pics cropped wedding photos and whatever someone took in the parking lot at 8 AM that day🫟

2) It boosts recruitment
• Candidates notice the visuals on your website
• it says “You’re a professional company and you value your employees.”💕

3) You’ll have happier employees.😁
• People love a good headshot of themselves

4) It’s incredibly convenient.
• No coordinating 75 different offsite appointments.
• I come to you and set up shop for a day! 🏬

5) The photos keep working for you.💸
•Linked-In photos
•Press releases
•Website team pages

Be still my heart…. I feel so lucky to have captured the tender moments between Lucy and her big brother, Reese. Reese takes his role so seriously, and it’s adorable. So gentle, so caring – he’s going to be a fantastic big brother! 🦸🏻

“Take Flight” with high school seniors, Class of 2016. What a fun project that was! Of course, I couldn’t have done it without the help of other female entrepreneur friends, Vanessa Jump Nelson, Machell Dawson, Becky Brunelle and all the “snack moms”!!
