Portland Studio Engagement Portraits When Madeline and TJ asked me to do their engagement portraits they had something very specific in mind.

There’s something special about seeing your love story preserved in a tangible, lasting way. This black-and-white film photograph, taken on my vintage Rolleiflex, was captured with intention—one slow, meditative frame at a time. The way the light sparkles through the trees, the quiet intimacy of the moment—it all feels timeless.
Photographs aren’t just memories; they’re heirlooms. They deserve to live beyond a screen, to be seen and felt every day. A framed print transforms your space, grounding it in love and meaning.
If you’ve been waiting to print your images, consider this your sign. Let’s create something beautiful for your home.
The world feels heavy right now. More than ever, we need healing, softness, and moments of peace. We need to hold close the small joys, celebrate the ones we love, and find solace in the beauty around us.
Lately, I’ve been grounding myself in the simple things—listening to birdsong in the morning, slowing down to be present with my fur babies (especially as we welcome a new puppy), and finding deeper meaning in my work. Because photography, at its heart, is about preserving love, stillness, and joyful abandon—even when the world makes it hard to feel those things.
Where are you finding peace these days? I’d love to hear. ❤️

Valentine’s Day is a beautiful reminder that love is everywhere—not just in the grand gestures, but in the quiet, everyday moments. The way your partner reaches for your hand. The laughter shared over morning coffee. The hugs that feel like home.
I feel so lucky to spend my days capturing love stories—on wedding days, in cozy homes, in golden fields, and in the little in-between moments that make life so special.
However you’re celebrating today—with a partner, with friends, or simply by loving yourself—I hope your heart feels full. 💛
