Heidi and Robert just about smiled from ear to ear the entire session. Pretty sure they were smiling even when swatting the bugs that seemed to never go away. They both have a sweet countenance which makes them both so pleasant to be around and easy to photograph. I’ve known Robert for several years now […]
Vintage Camping Anniversary: Mike & Carrie
A couple months ago I visited my home town of Coquille, Oregon and really wanted to do a creative session of some sort. One of my high school friends ended up being free on the day I wanted to do a shoot so we packed up and put together a little vintage camping session at Laverne […]

Newport Coast Wedding: Desiree & Gabriel
The letter started like this “My love Desiree, I was born on July 17, 2006 the day you told me you loved me…” Just after Desiree put her wedding gown on she read a sweet letter from her groom and began to cry as she made her way through each page. I was just about […]
