Katerina & Adam | A High Grove Farm Maternity Session

I first met Katerina just a few months before her wedding. She wanted to give Adam something special on their wedding day so we planned and executed a pretty rad boudoir session. Needless to say she killed it and made her new husband a very happy man.

About a year later she came to me again with wonderful news, she was pregnant with a baby boy! For her maternity session she wanted to be out in the natural world so we hit the road just west of Portland to High Grove Farm, a beautiful piece of land that will make anyone drool with envy. Together we toured the grounds making our way from the vegetable and flower gardens to the enormous glass greenhouse and finally to the private lake.

It was an honor to document such a special time in Katerina and Adam’s lives. A few moments of joy and anticipation – dreaming of the sweet little life they’re about to bring into the world. Today their sweet boy, Walden, is about as cute as can be and has just started to stand up in his playpen.

general inquiries

The first time I visited the Pantheon in Rome it was on accident. I stumbled across a colossal building while wandering the alleys and piazzas and figured I should check it out. 

There was no line, no tickets, no crowd. The entire experience felt a little surreal. 

Ten years later I visit again and now you need tickets to get inside. The sea of people out front is dense with tour guides and panhandling. A little of that magic stolen away.

So the trick is, for the exterior anyway, to visit at dawn. Catch this beauty before the crowds wake up, while the sun stretches over the rooftops to light up the solid marble pillars in golden light. 

If you’re planning an elopement, wedding, or honeymoon in Rome, Italy I’d be honored to be your guide and photographer. I can bring you to all the best views and historic locations and know of an excellent private tour guide who can share the history of these beautiful places.

Looking through my archives and updating some older articles this week. I’ve been photographing weddings for 16 years. 16 YEARS! 

This little introvert has grown so much as an artist, business woman, and human in that time.

I love my work so much more deeply than I ever thought possible. 

Anywho, I hope you’re having a great Thursday. Hit me up if you need a wedding photographer! ☺️
