AWARD WINNING FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHY in Bend, OR

capturing moments you'll want to remember forever

Bend Family Photographer

I've been photographing families in Central Oregon for over 20 years, and I've learned this: the portraits that matter most are the ones you actually see. The album on your coffee table. The framed image in your hallway. The memories your children will one day want for themselves.

Let me help you preserve what matters most in a way that lasts.


I've built a process that makes this easy for you. Here's what to expect:

The Process

01

consultation

Let's start by getting to know each other, either virtually or in person at my midtown Bend studio. I would love to hear about your family and collaborate with you on the perfect location to capture your family at its best! I'll help guide you on clothing choices, offer a client wardrobe for busy moms, and share my favorite shops to make styling effortless. We will also plan how you wish to display your images so you'll have a clear vision of how you will enjoy your beautiful photographs daily.


02

the photography sessioN

On the day of your session, my job is to make this easy. I'll guide you through everything so you can relax and be present with your family. I'm watching for the real moments — the way your kids look at you, the connection between siblings, the quiet in between parts that matter just as much as the smiles. You'll leave feeling like you actually enjoyed this, not like you survived it.

03

DESIGN & ORDERING APPOINTMENTS

This is where everything comes together. We'll meet to view your images, and I'll help you choose your favorites and decide how you want to enjoy your portraits in your home — whether that's a custom album, framed wall art, or a curated digital collection. If you prefer digital files, that's always an option too.

04

delivery

It's time for the best part. Your finished heirloom pieces are hand-delivered to your home, ready to be displayed and enjoyed for generations. If you're local to Central Oregon, I'll personally install your wall art so everything is perfectly placed.

I believe it's a disservice to walk you through all the planning, help you choose what to wear, create beautiful portraits of your family, and then hand you a hundred digital files that sit on a hard drive.

That's not preservation. That's not legacy. And honestly, it's not what you hired me for.

My job is to help you enjoy these images in your home — not just once for a holiday card, but for years to come. I help you narrow down to your true favorites so the process feels simple, not overwhelming. And I guide you toward the pieces that will actually become part of your daily life: the album on your coffee table, the framed portrait in your hallway, the images your kids will one day want for themselves.

With over 20 years of experience, I've carefully curated a collection of fine art products crafted from the finest materials and designed to last for generations. From custom framed wall art to handcrafted heirloom albums, high resolution files, holiday cards, and gift prints, every option reflects my commitment to helping you remember your life in a way that matters.

Every family photography session includes:

  • Complimentary consultation to plan your session and styling
  • A portrait session in my private studio or a scenic outdoor location
  • A personalized design and ordering appointment to curate your heirloom collection
  • Complimentary delivery and wall art installation for Central Oregon clients
