It's not the Hokey Pokey... but that's what it's all about!


Snowball fights, smiles & good times. 

Yup... I'd put my whole body in for that one!

Kissin' in the city...



I'm finally getting caught up enough to finish up some work on my New Year's Eve Wedding - and came across this image from our meanderings in downtown Portland. Such a fun couple - such a fun wedding!

Magic at the Butte...


Max and Sam had their second game last Saturday of 3rd grade hoops - and played at Pilot Butte Middle School gym. It was a great game, the boys played hard, and had a great time.

A new look. A new focus.



A storyteller at heart, I am passionate about my job.

To be asked to capture a moment that will tell a story for generations to come is truly a privilege – for what else matters besides the relationships we build, and the memories we have of them.

This became abundantly clear to me over the 2010 holidays, when my step-dad of 34 years became ill and passed away. The photographs I have of him over our 34 years as a family, in particular over the last few, are precious heirlooms that I am able to share with all of our family, both near and far.

Photographs can be decorative and pretty, of course - but much more than that, they can tell a story of someone's life. Of memories shared and relationships built. How else can you remember the past with such clarity and detail.

I strive to capture the moment of a situation that tells the bigger story, and to capture the personality of my subjects. To create heirlooms. My style is not always polished. Not always perfect, but I am...
