From the wild, joyful energy of little ones to the quiet in‑between moments that happen when no one’s looking, explore real family sessions from across Central Oregon. These sessions became custom heirloom albums and framed wall art that families enjoy every single day — not files forgotten on a hard drive, but artwork that tells the story of who they are in this season.
Browse lifestyle family portraits captured in my Bend studio, in clients’ homes, and at outdoor locations throughout Central Oregon — each one created to preserve the love, connection, and personality that make your family uniquely yours.
FAMILY SESSION HIGHLIGHTS
Families with young children move fast—literally. These sessions are designed to feel like play, capturing authentic moments as they happen. From toddler adventures at Shevlin Park to quiet lakeside moments near Bend, these portraits preserve the energy and love of this fleeting stage
From Smith Rock's dramatic cliffs to alpine lakes near Sisters, from the Deschutes River to mountain meadows—Central Oregon offers endless stunning backdrops for family portraits. I'll help you choose the perfect location for your family's style and season.
GROUP FAMILY SESSION HIGHLIGHTS
Some of the most treasured sessions include grandparents, great‑grandparents, and extended family. These portraits become heirlooms passed down through generations — tangible proof of the love, history, and connection that shaped your family.
Years from now, these images will remind your children not just of who was there, but of how deeply they were loved.
