jena + zach: engaged.

Congratulations to Jena + Zach on their engagement! We enjoyed the changing leaves in Moulton Falls Park in Washington, and then headed out to a family farm for the rest of the shoot. We were having such a great time that nightfall snuck up on us rather quickly, but we didn’t mind. Jena + Zach, thank you for a great day & night. I had an absolute blast, and sweet Lou stole my heart (as did the horses). After seeing you two together, I know your future is filled with lots of laughter, love, kindness and friendship.   

Once again, sending you happy wishes and heartfelt congratulations.

amy + teddy: engaged.

Congratulations to Amy + Teddy on their engagement! We shared a lovely morning together in the charming Sellwood Riverfront Park. These two are both pillars of strength, and I have total admiration for the dedication, love and compassion that they devote to their relationship not only with each other, but also to those in the community that make up their special family. Amy + Teddy, thank you for a morning full of fun & laughter, as well as your unique gift to inspire others. I can’t wait for your upcoming wedding!

angie + john: sun & fog

My heartfelt congratulations to Angie + John! You may recognize these two from this shoot. They had a sweet ceremony amongst their closest friends and family with the Oregon coast as their backdrop. It was a fun adventure, climbing through a rocky cave to reach the perfect little hideaway. The day began with rays of sun, but in true coastal fashion, the fog rolled in just in time for our portraits. We didn't mind.  

Angie + John, thank you so much for sharing your celebration with me, and for giving me the honor of documenting it. Much love and happy adventures together.

* A special thank you to my darling husband for being my right-hand man for the day. xoxo

PS: The shot below was taken seconds after we decided we were “finished” with the portraits. I couldn’t help but pick up my camera again to capture this true, tender time. I have to say, it is one of my favorite moments of the day. John, I caught you.
