Fall Family Portrait sessions
to benefit the Community of Smiles!

Saturday, October 22
Studio sessions available in the early afternoon,
outdoor sessions will be held at Smith Rocks in the evening.
All-inclusive sessions are $350.
For every 3 sessions booked & completed, I’ll donate one session to Central Oregon Disability Support Network (CODSN) families*
Sessions are about 20 minutes long and include an artist set of 5x7 heirloom prints (between 15-25 depending on the session) and the digital images from your session. You can upgrade to the Wall Art package for $650 and choose one image for a 16x20 fine art canvas gallery wrap, or two images for two 8x10 fine art canvas gallery wraps. There is NO session fee – it is waived for the Community of Smiles events, as it has been for the past two years!
FINE PRINT: $100 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your session (in the event of inclimate weather or an emergency – deposit can apply to a future session). The balance is due at the time of the session. The artist set of 5x7 prints are chosen by Kimberly, and the digital files are delivered on a DVD or digitally within 2 weeks of the session. Upgrade to a USB thumb drive for $25. Files are full resolution and suitable for printing gift prints (up to 8x10) and includes a print release so you may print as many as you’d like for family & friends.
*Families who have not participated in previous ACOS years get preference for sponsored sessions. Sponsored sessions include the 5x7 art print and DVD of the digital files. Wall Art package upgrades are available. CODSN Families can sign up with dianna@codsn.org to

A Classic Family Session || Bend Oregon Photographer

Have you thought about what your goals are for your family photography session, or why you go through the trouble to hire a professional?

For some, it's to create beautiful artwork for their walls to enjoy. 
For others, it's an annual checklist because its simply "what you do." 

For me, as a mom and a photographer, my goal for family photography is to create images that tell the story of my client's lives, the real story. My goal is for the images to freeze time, if only for a moment, so you when you look back at your prints you'll remember not only the sights of your life, but the smells, taste and sounds as well. 

I strive for classic imagery, and while you may reflect in 20 years and see "that hairstyle" or some item of clothing popular at the time - what you'll really see come through are the relationships and personality of your family and children, not a trendy camera angle or photoshop filter. 

Good, classic, photography. 

Thank you, Phillips family, for trusting me to create these heirlooms for you.

Nearly a Year in the Making || Bend Oregon Photographer



A Community of Smiles began as dream – an internal plea after an uncommonly hectic job, where I said to myself, “I just want my work to matter!”  Through hard work this dream has come true in a big way – I have partnered with Central Oregon Disability SupportNetwork (CODSN) to write & receive a generous grant from the MCM Giving Fund that provides a family portrait experience and artwork ready to enjoy. 

The mission is for families who have more on their parenting plates than the typical family to experience family photography without a second thought in regards to their budget. It was also important for me to be sure they were able to bring home tangible memories of this precious and fleeting time in their lives – to remember every moment with their children and/or partners regardless of abilities. These tangible memories are in the form of an art package, which includes prints, a digital archive of their session, and a gorgeous piece of artwork for their walls from my canvas supplier (and generous discount-contributor), Artsy Couture

Through the images, 
we can clearly see that positive relationships 
are not defined by the term disability.


Please join us in celebrating A Community of Smiles at First Friday between 5:00 and 7:00pm at Crows Feet Commons in Downtown Bend, where families get to see their artwork in person for the first time!

And... stay tuned for more projects with the gorgeous families!

Now Booking Summer Family Portrait Sessions || Bend, Oregon Photographer

They grow so fast. Life is busy.  Where did the time go?

The clichés are true, I know, as I'm living it now. 

We long to hold on to the fleeting moments of our children’s childhood. We have intentions of honoring those big and little moments, but life has a way of moving forward. Photography is a way we can hold on to the past, while allowing life to move beautifully forward. 

Photography is a means to capture those moments, and prints, wall art and albums are a way to pause honor those moments and relationships. 

Professional photography is, indeed, an investment, but it’s an investment in heirlooms for your family – which will be enjoyed and honored by generations to come. 

Where do you start? Choose that style of session that suits your family, and then give some thought into what you'd like to create from those images. Consider something beautiful for your walls, an album to cherish for ever, or prints to share with family.


Choose your photographer wisely - as the moments will, indeed, last a lifetime.

Friday Fun-Day and putting the Studio through its paces || Bend Oregon Photography

I adore Fridays! It's the one day where I try to focus on something a little extra FUN! 

Today is no exception, as I invited a few friends over to help me put the studio through its paces! Its giving me the opportunity to find some great natural light, as well as how I can set up the space for studio lights as well!  Here's a sneak peek of this morning's visitors... a couple of silly (and adorable) brothers!

Traditions || Bend Oregon Photography

We love Todd Lake - and consider it one of the Teichrow Family Traditions, to begin our Fourth of July exploring its beauty! There were a few crazy years where we hit the downtown Pet Parade, then Todd Lake, and wrapped the day up with fireworks. Needless to say, the little ones were TUCKERED out by the end of those days.

Yesterday we dropped everything and continued the tradition after a couple-year hiatus... due to schedules and, actually, snow pack! 

This is a banner year - and was a gorgeous day. One of the things I wanted to do was recreate this image from 2005... one of our family favorites that hangs in permanent residence in the gallery wall in our kitchen. I often change the photos out - but this one has a special spot in my heart... and I think it will stay there for a long, long time. 

I think, however, that the shot I took yesterday, may live "next door" to it on the gallery wall. I love it nearly as much - and love to think about how much the boys have grown since then. 

What family traditions do you have, and are they captured in photographs? Family traditions are great inspirations for photo sessions!  Your family will treasure the images for generations to come!

Falling in Love... all over again || Bend Oregon Photographer


For me, storytelling photography has been a personal passion, and I've been honored to carry that story through to other families and businesses as well.

Reflecting back on images, and being able to read the emotions of what we experienced is an incredible gift for anyone.

I know I'll look back on this evening and my heart will melt a little in remembering a sweet farewell as my husband packed up the boys to drive Sam to Grandpa & Grandma at the coast, and Max to his first week away from family to attend a basketball camp four hours away - and how I completely lost it as the truck drove away...

I was totally surprised by my reaction and reaching out to my husband – I texted him.

What came next rocked my world, melted my heart and made me fall in love all over again – with my son...

Border Collies everywhere! || Bend, Oregon Photographer


I've had the pleasure of meeting, and working with Flora, the director of Herd U Needed a Home - a border collie and mixed canine rescue organization. She is amazing with these animals - and working with them has been a joy!

Enjoy these images of the pack, from one of our recent shoots, which will culminate in her annual fundraising calendar!
