I love this session!! The light this time of day was perfect, and the connection between Andrew and Tanja is so very sweet!:
Andrew + Tanja – I hope your wedding is fabulous and thank you for trusting me to do your engagement photos, it was great spending time with you both!
Reed and Naomi were so much fun! I think we laughed through most of their session!! They are getting married in Scotland next year and wanted some engagement photos with an Oregon feel to them, so of course we went into the woods for their shoot. We had a fun time together capturing great moments! Below are some of my favorites:
Thanks so much Reed and Naomi for trusting me to capture your vision and for making me laugh so much!
I recently photographed Peter and Vanessa at one of their favorite locations in Corvallis. I absolutely love their images — the connection between the two of them is so evident!!:
They have been together for seven years and never had portraits taken. I am honored that they chose me to be their photographer! Thanks Peter and Vanessa!!

Lisa and Torrii own the store Journey’s in Salem. They needed some business head shots, so I took some of those and then captured some great images of them together. They’ve been together nine years and still crack each other up, it’s fun to be around! I get so much joy out of capturing people’s love!! Thanks ladies for allowing me to do this for you! Below are some of my favorites:
I’ve been busy with a lot of commercial shoots lately which I usually don’t blog, but I do have several portrait shoots to blog I just haven’t found the time. Busy season is here full force and I still hope/plan to blog regularly, it just might be more sporadic.
I’m on my out the door to go on a girls night out in the city (I’m so excited!) but I wanted to show you this image really quickly. There’s something special about it — it looks like their heart chakra’s are glowing…. whatever it is it’s pretty cool:
Last week I had so much fun with Cody and Pamela! It was a beautiful fall day and we went to several locations around Corvallis. I love engagement sessions because it’s a time when I get to know the couple — we get to have fun and enjoy our time together without time constraints.
I think their images turned out amazing!! Below are some of my favorites:
Thanks Cody and Pamela for being so much fun!! I can’t wait to photograph your wedding next summer! ♥-Sara
I photographed Akshya and Dee’s engagement session last month on one of the warmest days of the month – we had to reschedule once due to rain and luckily this day turned out great! It was so much fun taking creative shots of them and getting to know each other a bit. Thanks you two and congratulations on your engagement!! Below are some of my favorites (there were so many great ones it was hard to narrow it down!) — I love the use of lighting and sunflare in some of these:
A few weeks ago Sam and Tara met me in Newport for their engagement session. It was 90 degrees here but when we got to the coast it was 60 degrees, overcast, and windy. We decided to do the shoot anyway, after all that is Oregon weather! We had so much fun walking down the beach getting to know each other and taking fun photos! Below are a few of my favorites:
Thanks Sam and Tara for spending a fun evening with me at the coast! I can’t wait for your September wedding!!
I had such a wonderful time spending the morning with Matt and Becky for their engagement session! We started off at a park in Lebanon and then ended at Matt’s parents house which is where their wedding reception is going to be.
Matt + Becky: I can’t wait for your wedding in June — it’s going to be a beautiful event, plus tons of fun! I truly enjoyed getting to know the two of you and I feel very honored that you picked me to capture your special day! Thank you!! Below are some of my favorites, enjoy!:
Last week I photographed Luke and Jen in Albany. We had a great session and the sun held for us even though big black clouds were lingering! I love this shoot and I can’t wait for their wedding this summer, it’s going to be amazing! It was so fun getting to know you two! Here are some of my favorites:
Thanks Luke and Jen for trusting me to capture this special time in your lives!! ♥ Sara
