Deborah and Luke 1-7-12 | Mission Mill Weddings

with No Comment Mission MillWeddings

My wedding season started off early this year with Deborah and Luke’s wedding at the Mission Mill Museum in Salem this past Saturday. It was my first time shooting at Mission Mill, but I sure hope I get to go back soon, the lighting was gorgeous and the grounds offer so many beautiful places to shoot both inside and out. Deborah and Luke had so many amazing flowers and decorations that they made themselves with their families help. I’m constantly amazed by my bride’s incredible DIY and crafty abilities!

Grace | Albany, Oregon Toddler Portraits

with One Comment Families

When Grace’s mom first contacted me about doing portraits of Grace for Christmas/to document her second birthday, she mentioned that Grace is a “very active toddler.” I wrote that off thinking ‘Yeah yeah, ‘active toddler’ – that’s a redundant statement. Typically I can run the toddler until they are tired while getting action shots and then they are ready to sit and pose a little- Not Grace! Grace is the energizer bunny of toddlers. Despite freezing temperatures, we had a good time and were able to get quite a few great shots of Grace doing what she does best- running around! Grace loves balloons and her parents brought a bouquet of balloons that made for some really fun shots.

Karessah | Albany Oregon Senior Photos

with No Comment Seniors

I’m officially convinced; the class of 2012 is the most gorgeous class ever! (class of 2013; feel free to prove me wrong…)

Karessah braved the rain this past weekend and even after an hour of shooting in constant rain, her hair and make up were still perfect! Can you believe it? the girl should be a super model.

I hate to cancel sessions just because its raining, because for starters, it’s Oregon, there’s a good chance it’s going to be raining, but also – the light can be beautiful and you won’t see the rain in your photos (unless of course I want to shoot in a way that shows the rain, which can be fun too!) The nasty weather actually made for some super cute back alley shots with an umbrella. All that to say, if you book a session and wake up to rain, don’t be disheartened, we can still make it work if you want to.








Thanks for braving the wind and rain with me Karessah, I had a great time doing your senior session. Hope the rest of your senior year is wonderful!

Theres still a few days left before Albany yearbook photos are due. I can accommodate last minute / rush sessions at no extra charge. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you haven’t got your photos done yet!
