About Me

I just love what I do. I first discovered photography almost 20 years ago, with a film SLR and my high school dark room. I went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in art and photography. During college, I swore to a friend I would always shoot film. Four years ago, I switched to Nikon digital gear.

For the past five years I have been photographing professionally, going full-time in early 2008. I photograph weddings, babies, families, and pregnancy. When I am not photographing for a client, I am often capturing my toddler, or taking landscapes as we explore the northwest.

I have an amazing energetic little girl, a darling hubby, and two cats. We live in the suburbs, just outside Portland. I'm a bit of a geek and can often be found behind my computer. I love nature, especially the beach, but also have an inner Jersey girl in me that comes out in odd ways.

Green Wedding Photography Package

I am excited to introduce my green wedding photography package!

As I’ve mentioned before, it is a goal of mine to make my business as green as possible. A big part of that is living sustainably but I wanted to find a way to further incorporate this so I create a wedding package that is sustainable.

It includes unlimited wedding day photography and an engagement session. You will get a high resolution dvd of your digital negatives. This means there is no reason to print photos that you do not want. You will have an online gallery so your friends and family can easily view your photographs. Instead of having to carry prints or a book to show your friends in person, you get an Ipod Touch loaded with your proofs.

Your favorite photo from either your engagement session or your wedding, will be printed as an 8×10 and framed by Portland’s Green House Framing. They use reclaimed lumber to create the wood for their frames, and offer recycled mats from Twisted Limb Paperworks.

You will receive a sustainable wedding album. These are handmade in the USA on recycled paper, and the whole process is done using wind-powered energy. These books are 10 inches, have a custom image on the cover, and include 36 pages.

Five percent of the proceeds of this package will be donated to purchase carbon offset credits, which should be enough to offset the carbon footprint of most weddings.
