It is in my heart to deliver authentic + thoughtful photography that is unique to each couple, their experience, and their love. Everything from fine details to the grand view; posed portraits to spontaneous laughter; sunrise elopements to midnight kisses are on the table... let's talk over coffee. Based in Bend, Ore - available for travel throughout the Pacific Northwest, American Southwest, and beyond!

F Y P // When the grown-ups ask you and your bison to watch the wagon while they go get even more produce. Lol! Fill Your Pantry is an annual bulk buying event hosted by our local farmers, ranchers, and producers. This is typically the last hoorah before everyone puts their market tents away for the season and hunkers down for winter. Fill Your Pantry is a wonderful place to see friends and re-connect with community. Nobody leaves FYP in a bad mood... I mean, how could you?! ​​​​​​​​​.​​​​​​​​​.

S P O R K // Why play it safe when the food is THIS good?!?! Spork is a Bend culinary staple comprised of globally inspired streetfood. My personal favorite is the Thai Steak Salad and the Banh Mi with a fried egg. YUM!!! I love photographing food - especially when it offers so much color, texture, and composition. SIDE STORY: In 2019 I attended a local weekend retreat in Tumalo and Spork catered the entire weekend. The experience was literal magic! One thing that we all still talk about is the food; Erica really pulled out all the stops for us so much so that the saying since then goes, "On a scale of 1 to Kindred [name of the retreat] how good is the food?"

Y E L L O W // When your neighbors have the most perfect aspen trees for golden hour you say please and thank you when they offer their space for your family portraits. I 1000% adore this little family! They have blessed my heart in so many ways I can't even begin to count. Annie [Mama] has welcomed me into her community and sacred spaces with open arms and I know that I wouldn't be on my current path without her. Sage [Papa] continues to scare and inspire...but mostly scare me with his ski and mt biking videos on instagram. Loey & Zara: I can finally tell the twin apart ...though I still get it wrong often. These two are bundles of joyful energy and were more than happy to love on each other and their parents.​​​​​​​​​Pretty sure I was fed a bowl of mac & cheese after this session... Goals!

FM CIVIC // Erin. This powerhouse of a woman brings everything she has to her work and clients. "We're strategists and doers in the civic space, applying public input, public relations and public affairs solutions to create community outcomes that matter." ...and I'm still mad about having to crop vertical images.

A L A Y N A // Keep your eyes on this queen because she's going to NYC to study fashion after graduation and is going to take that place by storm!!! Alayna had a vision for where she wanted her senior portraits and how she wanted to bring her sense of style. I was brought in to pull it all together and find its full expression - which is exactly what a photographer a chosen for. Photographers understand the vision, expand on it, push it to its limits, and bring it all back around to the client with full unapologetic enthusiasm. ...that's what we do.

And now for something completely different... // I've been wanting to show a fuller scope of my photography. In addition to weddings, families, and various portraits; I also photograph local events, products for local businesses, food, farmers, and the occasional animal. Some of you already know this and I'm excited to show off some of the amazing folks I get to work with and help tell their stories. // Last spring I got to photograph a weekend of climbing at Smith Rock State Park with my friends at . It was honestly exhausting hauling all of my gear walking up and down the canyon trail, scrambling over boulders, and finding the various climbing clinic groups amongst all of the other climbers there for the weekend.

S H A N I K O // Ok first thing first, I'm still mad that instagram makes me crop vertical images. ...moving on. When I met with Ryn and her Mom about doing senior portraits my brain immediately started to tingle with ideas. Outside, check. Gritty, check. Somewhere unconventional, check. Moody, check. ...let's go to Shaniko! It was cooooold and had just been raining but it only made everything better (could have done without the wind though). The light wrapped around Ryn and her delicate features; bringing out a balance of soft and fierce.

T H R O W B A C K // When Bethany & Matt were expecting Maggie we met at their favorite spot on China Hat Rd. The pumic roads are *red* and you can see forever with an unobstructed view... the perfect location to celebrate their upcoming journey as parents. I'll show sweetness from their newborn session next. Maggie is almost 2 now by the way!

D E T A I L S // A beautiful fall color palette for this September wedding. Yellow chamisa brought pops of brightness to the evergreen and burnt orange details; a moody sky gave us a soft light and rustling aspen leaves. The chilly wind coming off the mountains was the only complication, but it only meant more capes and hugs for the tight knit guests.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Professional opinion: I love photographing details AND details should be meaningful, purposeful, and not put you over budget. Details that can be re-used are even better like moving ceremony flowers to the reception. I'm a big fan of thrifting and renting, and cautious about large DIY project...follow for more tips. lol

F A N D O M // Cass + Nate hosted a beautiful [and windy] Renaissance/LOTR/D&D themed wedding in September on private property here in Central Oregon. In 20 years of photography I've never seen a guest list lean in so hard to a theme [more photos coming soon]. There were wizards, hobbits, elves, a tiny dragon, wenches, and knights in shining armor. ...oh and don't forget the swords. So many swords.
