Wyatt Newborn Session: Eugene, Oregon Family Photographer, Lifestyle Newborn Sessions
Throwback Thursday to one of my favorite shoots I've ever done, my second sweet nephew, Wyatt. Newborn photo shoots are hard. They take patience, expertise, experience, and TIME. The vision of a new baby in that beautiful snug-as-a-bug-in-a-rug photo with their sweet new addition propped up on his or her hands in the froggy pose wearing an adorable bonnet is what many potential clients have in mind. That is something I'm not equipped to do! Photography is not my full-time job

Jennifer + Junior. Eugene, Oregon Wedding Photographer, Lane County Weddings
I felt so fortunate to be a part of Jennifer and Junior's wedding day. When Jennifer first contacted me, she asked what dates I still had available for the summer because she knew she wanted me as her photographer - biggest compliment EVER! We met for the first time with Junior and I knew these two were so head over heels in love that their wedding day would be wonderful! They did not disappoint! The day dawned a beautiful August morning. The couple got married at Jennifer's

Melissa + Derek: Eugene, Oregon Wedding Photographer
Derek and Melissa had a beautiful, sweet, and loving wedding at Lewis and Clark Catering back in June. When Melissa initially contacted me about shooting her wedding, the date she inquired about was already booked. I gave her some dates I had available (biggest compliment in the world to have a couple move their wedding date around so you can shoot it!) and we discovered that one of the dates was actually hers and Derek's anniversary - it was meant to be! The day dawned as on

Shannon + James: Engagement. Eugene, Oregon Wedding Photographer
I loved everything about this engagement session. We met at a new location I had never shot at before and I LOVED it; it was my first time trying a 9:30 am engagement shoot for morning lighting and it was perfect; and, Shannon showed up with teal accessories! Pretty much a session made in heaven. Not to mention that adorable Addie came along to smile her way through her parents' session. The pics and the people were beautiful. I can't wait to photograph their wedding in Octob

Michele & Kyle Engagement - Eugene, Oregon Wedding Photographer
A gorgeous fall day with less than gorgeous weather...Enter Oregon. Because it's Thursday, I felt I could get away with a little bit of a throw back. Not far, just to the fall of 2014 :) Remember, I'm playing catch up a bit here on the blog. Michele and I had been emailing about the beautiful fall colors. The day of the scheduled photo shoot came and it was POURING rain! We emailed in the morning and discussed maybe having a super cute umbrella to pose with or even postponing

Year in Review - 2014 - Eugene, Oregon Wedding Photographer, Family Photographer
Happy New Year! As I started to prepare this blog post, I (shamefully) noticed that my last post was MONTHS ago - back in September. Rest assured that no news is good news and I have been so wonderfully busy that, unfortunately, the blog has taken a back seat! Of course, that leads to 2015 Resolution #1 - at least attempt to stay more up to date on the blog. I know that it is fun for my clients to see some featured images and read the recap of their shoot and so I plan to del

Fritz Wedding - Eugene, Oregon Wedding Photographer
Happy one month anniversary to Mr. and Mrs. Fritz!! As their gift, I present to them, their blog post and gallery :) Okay, so it has been a while since I have had the chance to take a seat and catch up on my blogging...that's what November is for, right? Anyways, I had the amazing privilege to photograph the beautiful wedding that took place at James Ranch Park last month. Toni and Kyle's day was absolutely beautiful...Toni, as I'm sure you've noticed in my Facebook sneak pee

Camden Cake Smash; Eugene, Oregon Child Photographer
Oh my goodness - how adorable is this baby guy?! The moment he toddled into the studio and started grinning around, my heart felt a little explosion over his cuteness. Also, have I mentioned that I love doing cake smashes!? Camden came ready to rock and roll. Mom, Carly, brought Aunt Jessica as a lovely assistant and they had some perfect outfits picked out to commemorate Camden's first birthday. I'd went out and got "O-N-E" for Marissa's birthday, so it was perfect. I tried

Joelle + Jake Thomas, Eugene, Oregon Wedding Photographer
What a beautiful day! The Thomas wedding had been circled on my calendar with hearts and butterflies and unicorns around it for all of 2014 (okay, not really - I can't draw unicorns.) I adore Jake and Joelle and have not only loved the photos I had taken of them, but LOVED spending time with them during the sessions themselves. Is it weird to say the three of us had chemistry? If it's weird, then pretend I didn't say it...If it's not weird, then, we totally had photographer

Newborn Dominic, Eugene, Oregon Family Photographer
Beautiful baby boy Romero came to my studio a couple of weeks ago and was sweet enough to smile at me during his session (yay! I never thought it really happened and that photographers were photoshopping in newborn smiles!) He was such a little gentleman the entire shoot. There were a couple times that he tried to "cry," but really, that just looked like a baby cryface with no sound coming out! His mom, Rachel said she keeps waiting to hear him cry, but so far, he's been quie
