It always means so much to me to take photos of people that I know. It reminds me how beautiful and meaningful photographs are, and the power that they have. It also makes it way harder for me to narrow the photos down. You'll see from this post, that it's really long, but I just couldn't narrow it down any further. This family is so much fun, and means so much to my family and I. I had a super fun evening wandering through the Boise foothills with them and taking their photographs.
I'm a huge fan of Jessica Hill and her work, she's a rad person and a great photographer, and she's been dominating Portland since always. I was so honored that she wanted me to take photo of her and her family. We met up at Mt Tabor, on a cold fall afternoon, and luckily the rain held off while we did this quick shoot.
Jess and Evan, thanks so much for having me take photos of your family and so great seeing you guys!

My heart was so full after the time I spent with Li and Steph. I spent two different days photographing their wedding celebration, their ceremony one day at the Hi-Lo Hotel in downtown Portland, and then their reception two days later at an urban space in SE Portland.
You can see it in these photos, these two have an energy to their relationship that is tangible. I've been a wedding photographer for ten years, and they are two of the easiest people that I've ever photographed, just get them near each other and boom. I left their wedding feeling humbled and grateful that I was the one who got to spend two days with these two, photographing such intimate and meaningful events. Also they had a pinata, and that is a big deal, check the pics...
Steph and Lianne, thank you so much for hiring me, nothing but wonderful working with you guys.
