I had the absolute pleasure to host the best group of kids from the Black Student Union from Hazelbrook Middle School for a studio visit last Friday and a discussion based on black owned businesses with the kids and two of my favorites, Chuck Matthews and Gretchen Huber!.

Time to celebrate a successful Elevate from last week with and wine from It was very special to be involved again this year!

My back seat is too full of memorial service programs. So many friends and family experiencing loss. It has been too much these last few weeks. Love to everyone touched by the loss of someone close to you

Client appreciation of the day, stage edition. I had the honor and joy of photographing comedian Robby Hoffman on her visit to town at the PAM Tomorrow Theater. Watching her perform and chat with guests was a special experience to say the least. We got the bits that couldn’t go on the Netflix special and if you’ve seen that you know some pearls got clutched with this set!

Sports edition of my celebration of my celebration of my clients from last year who put their trust in me for their most important photo moments. Oregon Episcopal School has been a wonderful partner for sports and other events for the last couple of years. It makes it even more special as I was an Aardvark from preschool to second grade. Sports photography is such a fun challenge to capture big moments when they happen. Anticipation!

Portrait edition of my celebration of my clients from last year who put their trust in me for their most important photo moments. PCC has been an amazing partner for over 10 years and their Giving Report is always a highlight of my year. This year shooting at LAIKA Studios was bonkers fun!

With the new year I want to celebrate my clients from last year who put their trust in me for their most important photo moments, group photo edition! Group photos are a common request but taking a great group photo takes careful planning and control over the situation. I can combine this service with event photography like I did with valued partner
