I took my daughter and one of our dogs camping for one night at Fort Stevens State Park for one last summer adventure and although short, it was remarkably reviving. I rarely regret these adventures. Memories--hearing the rain on the tent when we first arrived, my daughter diverting rainwater stream and shaping it into a … Continue reading Summer’s Last Adventure (2023)

Searching for Owls and Joy
I love owls. So much. In the Spring, there are flowers to photograph, in the Summer bodies of water and adventures, in the Fall, there are the changing leaves, Christmas time-lights and maybe snow, after that there is a period of brown and that is when I want to capture birds. Right now there are … Continue reading Searching for Owls and Joy

New Direction-Fall 2022
I am moving in a different direction with my photography, or perhaps it is a return to a previous path. Last February I started working as an Special Education Instructional Assistant. So, I now have 3 jobs unofficially, or more than that if you are really counting: IA, Photographer, and Parent/caretaker of humans. 😉 I … Continue reading New Direction-Fall 2022

We left their home the night before to find a spot where we would experience 2 minutes of totality. The Milky Way was spectacular. We slept in our … Continue reading Total Solar Eclipse Weekend

This is my dear friend/past co-worker friend's family. She trained me at my program therapist job fifteen years ago. She is fighting a battle with a genetic form of lung cancer. She is one of the strongest people I know. I wanted so much to capture her with her family; I feel grateful … Continue reading Family Session at Sunset

Lady of the Lake
Hayley and I planned for two months for this photo shoot. Finding a location proved to be much harder than I thought. Who would have thought it would be hard to find a body of water with clear enough water in Oregon that wasn't also freezing cold or too far for us to meet? I … Continue reading Lady of the Lake
