Family Photography

Tender moment shared between parent and child wearing matching cream sweaters in natural outdoor setting.

We are more fun than your average Joe.

My style of family photography is a mixture posed & lifestyle photography. I often play age-appropriate games with children and help parents with playful fun prompts to encourage the making of memories- not just photos.

I often ask family members to share intimate thoughts with each other that often leaves family feeling very built up. One of my favorite prompts is to "snuggle up" and share with your child 3 things that you love about them.

Family Photos for the moments that matter most

From belly laughs & pranks on dad to soft snuggles from mom, these are the moments that we will want back in 20 years. Photos make it possible to feel our memories.

What are the best Locations for Photos in Portland, Oregon?

I have several locations within PDX that are great for your photos that offer beautiful scenery & activities for you & your family to do. Some of my favorite pdx photo locations are along the river or in fields of tall grass.

The Best SpotsThough?

They are worth the short drive. If you want EPIC scenery and a little Adventure for your family photos I highly reccomend one of my favorite Columbia River Gorge Or Oregon Coast Locations.

I love helping families feel & look their best for session day. I send my families a styling guide that I made to to work well with my style of photography and also offer virtual styling assistance.

III. Session Day

Its time to have fun and create some memories! If you are utilizing the client closet please come 15 minutes early for changing. Expect piggy back rides, baby airplanes & snuggles from some of your favorite people (your little ones).
