Luisa and Aaron – Sauvie Island Engagement Photos – Portland, Oregon
For their engagement session, Luisa and Aaron were courageous enough to brave an October Saturday on Sauvie Island. Not only is Pacific Northwest a bit unpredictable in the fall, but on Sauvie Island, October is prime pumpkin patch season. Lucky for us, traffic wasn’t bad at all, and the weather couldn’t have been better for their engagement photos. The three of us drove around on the island until we found a spot that felt just right for their photos, and began exploring on foot (and on bikes!). I am so happy with how these photos turned out, the light was just right, and these two were absolutely wonderful together, so natural and fun, and willing to play around and take a few risks to try out a pose or two. I am so excited to photograph their wedding next August!
Jenn and Patrick – Smith Rock Engagement Photos – Bend, Oregon
Last weekend I met up with Jenn and Patrick to take some engagement photos near Smith Rock in Bend, Oregon. It was one of those pretty hot days in early August, the temperature when we met up in the late afternoon was still hovering well above 90 degrees. But the gorgeous sunlight and and beautiful scenery of the rocks and high desert plant life made for a pretty amazing backdrop. We spent some time hiking (well, walking) around some of the cliff areas at Smith Rock, and luckily no one was afraid of heights, so I was able to get these two to stand pretty close to the edge of the cliffs so that we could also sneak some views of the Deschutes river valley down below. Spending the evening with Jenn and Patrick was so fun, and I’m feeling pretty lucky that I get to return to Bend next summer to take their wedding photos.
Jen and Erik – Engagment Photos in the Rain – Noble Woods Park
Even though it’s been a rainy past few weeks here in Oregon, the photos must go on! And go on they did when I met up with Jen and Erik (and their dog chipper!) for engagement photos at Noble Woods Park in Hillsboro. I thought that Noble Woods Park looked just beautiful with the overcast sky and the mist of rain against the mossy greens in the trees. Erik and Jen are the sort of couple that you can’t help but constantly be smiling and laughing when you are with them – and a little bit of rain did not stop them from from being just as happy and cheerful (and in love) as could be.   I am so excited to photograph them at their wedding this coming summer!
Kelly and Kyle – Seattle Fremont District Engagement Photos
When Kelly and I first talked about taking her and Kyle’s engagement photos near the Seattle Pacific University campus, we thought we’d meet early to avoid any saturday morning pedestrian traffic. A few days before our shoot we decided to try and meet even earlier so that we could catch the sunrise, and although we were out and about before actual sunrise – we missed it because of all the fog that morning. It turned out that the fog made a lovely background for the shots we did on the Fremont bridge, and the light was just perfect. And while we missed the sunrise, the early morning hour allowed us to joke around and get some really fun shots that we definitely could not have taken at a busier time of day. I had such a great time getting to know these two, and I’m so excited to photograph their wedding this summer!
side note: I know I’m super behind on updating the blog, it is my new year’s resolution this year to be better about it – so I’ll keep trying!

I’ve been meaning to post some of the photos from my engagement session with karah and jerod in seattle last september, and since the actual wedding is this weekend I figured this was my last chance! We had a great time wandering around the city in the Olympic Sculpture Park and at Ballard Market and even ventured into the Pike Market area for a bit and did some wine tasting. Their dog Lily even came along for a few of the shots in the beginning and was quite a good little model. I’m very excited to get to photograph the wedding this weekend!
Stephanie and Matt – Laurelhurst Park Engagement Photos Portland
Steph, Matt and I took advantage of the break from the rain a couple weekends ago and did a quick engagement session in Laurelhurst park and at a few spots nearby. I met the two of them a couple years ago through the Penny Jam (you may even recognize Matt in some of my pictures from earlier Penny Jam shoots), and I always have a great time hanging with them or watching them play music together. I’m very excited for their wedding this summer, it should be really fun to photograph.
Full gallery of pictures is here, some of my favorites from the engagement session are below.
Engagement Photos – Vancouver, Wa – Alyson and Jared
James and I had a great time visiting with Alyson and Jared a few weeks ago at their new home in Vancouver, WA while we took their engagement pictures. Alyson and Jared were both really good sports because we picked one of the hottest days this August to take their pictures (note the otter pops that show up in a couple pictures). They have a great piece of property that made for lots of wonderful pictures, I really liked the look of the wall of fishing lures against the red paint.

Meredith and Jeremy Engagment Photos (Spokane, Washington)

I took a trip up to spokane a few months ago, and while I was there did an engagement photo session with Meredith and Jeremy. We had lots of fun running around town looking for cool spots to take pictures, we took a bunch on an old bridge downtown almost at sunset, and others in the early afternoon near an abandoned warehouse (always a cool place to take photos in the city). I’ve been a little bit behind on doing blog posts about my photo sessions, so I figured now would be as good of a time as any to get some of these up.

Becca and TJ at Oregon Vineyards (Portland Engagement Photos)
A few weekends ago Becca, TJ, and I headed out to Oregon wine country to take some engagement photos and do a little tasting. It was a really beautiful, sunny day, and it also happened to be TJ’s birthday so we picked up cupcakes and they ended up in a few photos. We spent the morning taking photos before the vineyards opened, and then did tastings in between photo sessions. Around lunchtime a couple friends joined us and I ended up using them as lighting assistants in a few photos, which worked out nicely for me. At the end of the day we made it to one last vineyard and happened upon a tire swing, which also made it into a few of the photos below. I had a really great time spending the day with everyone, and the vineyards (even though there weren’t any leaves on the vines) were a great place for an engagement session (although having great models didn’t hurt either).
