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.

Ceremony {Wedding Photography}

Posted in Weddings

Alphonse and Danica had a beautiful wedding ceremony, with three officiants from different churches. Their family and friends filled the entire church. There was a pianist, a singer, and lots of floral arrangements. The ceremony was filled with bible readings, prayer and song.

In the photo above, the bride and groom were completely absorbed in singing. The bride had her eyes closed throughout. It was a powerful emotional moment.
