Welcoming a new addition to the family is an extraordinary time filled with anticipation, joy, and love. In a recent maternity session, we had the privilege of capturing unforgettable moments for a family of three. The session was not only fun-filled but also infused with deep meaning, creating memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.

In the realm of photography, there is something truly magical about documenting the journey of love. As a photographer, I have been fortunate enough to witness and capture countless beautiful moments, but there is one particular story that holds a special place in my heart. Today I want to share with you the story of this couple whose engagement session I had the honor of photographing and whose upcoming wedding I eagerly anticipate this fall. Join me as I recount their love story, the joyous moments we captured during their engagement session, and the anticipation of their upcoming nuptials at the Portland LDS Temple.

Let me stop for a second to tell you that I am seriously the luckiest photographer in the world. My clients are always so wonderful to work with. That's true of my session with the Kronick family, too!

Yeehaw, friends! I’m so excited to share images from a recent wedding I did that took place at Vanderbeck Valley Farms in Mt. Angel in the early fall, which was obviously the PERFECT location since the newlyweds had a romantic, rustic-inspired wedding! Leanna and Scott thought this thing through from beginning to end, and there wasn’t a shortage of dreamy, Pinterest-worthy moments.

Today I'm featuring KaRisha, a stunning woman I photographed early March in my studio, located in Beavercreek, just outside Oregon City. This boudoir session was particularly special, as she had a hard few years. Here is what she had to say:

ASK YOURSELF THESE 2 QUESTIONS:
1. WHAT PICTURES WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE ON YOUR WALLS?
2. WHO DO I WANT IN THEM?

I was so excited to meet up with Tiffani and Jacob at my favorite location, a park in Oregon City for a stunning – terribly sweet, and terribly hot – maternity session. At the time, Tiffani was 32 weeks, so you can only imagine how she was feeling while we were roaming around finding the best spots to shoot! She was out doing me, let me tell you. It was the record breaking heat wave weekend and during our session it was 102* that evening. Crazy hot for the PNW.

Here you’ll meet Michelle and Aaron. We drove out to the Columbia Gorge on a hot summer day.
I ofter get asked do I recommend doing an engagement session and why? Heck yeah! DO IT! Do an engagement sessions! And we'll tell you what: wSP strives to actually make you feel like you're soaring on clouds at your engagement photo shoot.

Our experience was absolutely fabulous! We had never met Treveé before (aside from chatting over Facebook messenger) and upon our first in-person interaction, it felt like we knew each other for years. I knew immediately I chose the right photographer. Treveé gave us direction, showed a genuine interest in including our 5 year old daughter and went above and beyond in capturing really special moments between the 3 (or I guess I should say 4 of us!). She made us feel comfortable and confident and didn’t mind when I needed to take a break because, I’m 36 weeks pregnant, and tired! Ha! We will definitely be hiring Treveé again!

You know what I’m afraid of? Hairy spiders, my local Dutch Bros. closing shop, and scary movies. You know what I’m NOT afraid of? PDA. In fact, I am all about it, especially when I’m photographing a gorgeous and super in-love couple like Kellsie and Conner, who were constantly stealing kisses and wrapping themselves up in each other throughout our 2-hour engagement session!

Jared and Rebecca were married in the Portland Oregon Temple. You know the big white castle with the golden man on top. You can see it from I-5 in Lake Oswego. If you have driven I-5 you have to have seen it. I was not able to photograph the actual ceremony and that is okay, because the Temple is a sacred place for Jared and Rebecca. I took the first look and the pictures around the grounds after they were sealed (married). I have experience with temple weddings, the best picture is when the temple is in the background with the couple standing in front of the reflection pool. I swear! Google “LDS temple pictures” and there will be picture after picture of this shot. All year around the flowers are flawless nurtured to sublimity. The grounds are clean, people are still and reverent. Jared and Rebecca are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
