Chris + Colleen are high school sweethearts. They started dating in 2007 and were married in 2003. Sadly, they struggled to get pregnant and did fertility treatment for nearly 5 years before getting pregnant with Myah. She was born April 7, 2012. Then they got a very welcomed surprise and conceived Bristol without any interventions! Two beautiful girls… I’m so happy for them!

We shot at their family’s beautiful country home in Boring, Oregon. The property was a photographers dream. The driveway was lined with tree’s, there was an amazing old barn, a pond, beautiful flowers… I could go on forever.

Shortly after shooting these pictures, baby Bristol was born. She’s a beautiful, healthy little baby. Keep a look out at the end of this post for a sneak peek from her newborn session.

Thank you so much to Chris + Colleen for allowing me to capture these precious memories!  xoxo

It was a gorgeous June day when Alexis and Daniel were married.  Clear skies and 78 degrees.  The venue was at their family church in St. Helens, Oregon.  After the first look, Daniel, Alexis and the bridal party headed down to the waterfront park to take pictures.  After saying “i do” they celebrated with their friends and family with amazing food, delicious cake (my favorite) and much love!!! I wish Daniel + Alexis a lifetime of happiness.  xoxo

In just a few short weeks these two are getting married at the McMenamins Cornelius Pass Roadhouse and I couldn’t be more excited for the celebration! After having to reschedule due to rainy spring weather, we finally settled on a sunny June day for their engagement session. We chose Edgefield to keep with the McMenamins theme and take advantage of the perfect setting they have to offer for portraits.

I love that Andrea was creative and brought some fun props for pictures… Jeff plays guitar so we snapped a few pictures while relaxing in the pear orchard then moved onto the vineyard. I LOVE how these pictures turned out…. so excited to share them!
