The Roelke Family
A Sauvie Island Family Session

The Roelke and Coddington families all met up at the beautiful Kruger’s farm on Sauvies Island for their family photos! Rachel is a hilarious and wonderful woman, friend, mama and incredible wedding and conference coordinator and I was honored to document her rad family. The grandparents and aunt and uncle joined in the fun while we hung around the farm too! While photographing beneath the gorgeous oak tree there, a miniature horse was walking by with it’s owner and I jumped at the opportunity to photograph little man Everett with the horses. SO COOL. Needless to say I had a blast with this fun, stylish and smart family and I love that they created some awesome custom canvases for their home! Have you heard the news about the fall mini-sessions? Here’s more info about the family photos in Portland, Bend and Wilsonville this autumn, and I would love to document your family soon!

Jenna and Greg
A Sauvie Island Engagement Session

It was a gorgeous summer’s day as I drove to Jenna and Greg’s family home on Sauvie Island in undeniably great light that only Sauvie Island gets. Jenna and Greg are just as kind and beautiful in person as they look and I literally had moments of the movie, The Notebook in my head as I was photographing this wonderful couple. Jenna and Greg met on the first day of medical school orientation and knew they had met someone special. They truly are soulmates and you can see it in the way they look at each other, interact and laugh. What Jenna says about Greg: “What made me fall in love with Greg first was his true happiness. It is the type of happiness that makes it worth getting up in the morning, no matter how hard the day looks. It is the type of happiness that warms you like a blanket on a cold day.” And Greg of Jenna: “I knew early on that Jenna was everything I could have ever hoped for in this world, the one girl I have been looking for all my life. And even after all this time and all the adventures we faced, I have only come to love Jenna more and more each day, growing not just as an individual, but as a couple of goobers who love each other more than we do ourselves.” WOW! What beautiful words and what a beautiful love! Beyond honored to be photographing their Portland wedding this summer!

The Farrara Family
Sauvie Island Family Photographer

WOW! I absolutely loved working with this incredible family made up of Eric, Autumn, Jackson and their adorable labradoodle Maggie. We almost cancelled the shoot, as it was raining buckets about an hour before our scheduled shoot. Luckily, the rain passed, the sun came out and Sauvie Island provided some great landscapes. They are expecting an addition soon and I love how sweet Jackson is as a big brother! Congrats Farrara Family!
