Family
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a winter family photo session in the snow? Amazing. I promise. (Granted you and yours must okay with being out in the snow for about 30 minutes to an hour.) Even though I live in Portland, where it rarely snows, I’ve had the great […]
This was the year that brought this decade full circle for me. Finally, I did it! I finally made photography my full-time job. I’m pretty sure my 24 year-old self is spinning her head right now somewhere. You see when I was 24 it was 2009 and I was graduating from Northern Arizona University with […]
