Cecille Portraits – Portland

My sisters are such an indescribable source of joy and comfort in my life. I’ve been truly lucky to have them in my world and treasure each moment with them completely.  When my youngest sister Cecille recently asked if I would be up for taking some portraits of her there was zero hesitation and only […]

Family

2016 is off to an amazing start.  My new position at work is going nicely, I moved to a really great apartment that helps keep me inspired, and I’ve got some super fun shoots lined up for the year. Bonus!  I’ve already had one of them!  So happy to share this really special family session with […]

Sketches with Featherscroll

I have a dear dear friend who goes by @Featherscroll on Instagram.  Early on in our friendship we made a tradition of sketching together (even if it’s stick figures which I usually do, she however is SUPER talented).  We started meeting every Wednesday morning over coffee before work and when schedules and location got more […]

And for some completely unknown reason my cute co-workers decided to sport their Star Wars tees today.  Now, being a big fan of the series and an even bigger fan of these great people I had to document it.  Used the phone which is by no means the best option – but hey it was […]

Cousin Portrait

Meet Corey Duncan of Oh Pears!  All around rad dude and as luck would have it, my cousin.  I’m so glad he moved back to Seattle for a bit.  Hanging out and seeing the kick ass person he’s turned into is really something special.  If this look doesn’t say Robert Goulet.  I’m not sure what […]

Today we celebrate the longest day of the year.  I’ve always felt a special something for Summer.  I have a summer birthday, love warmth, and I can’t get enough of the outdoors.  This year, I spent Solstice with the terrific company of my lovely baby sister who to my constant surprise, is now all grown up.

Summer Solstice

Tuesday portrait in the sun

I work full time at an online education company that offers up creative education (including photography) for free!  It’s a pretty awesome mission.  One of my co-workers, Justin is leaving us to go pursue his dreams and it’s inspiring to spend a bit of time with him.  This week as he’s wrapping it all up […]
