• Hey friends! It's been a bit since I've introduced myself, so if you're new here, welcome! I'm Samantha, and I've owned this wedding and family photography business for 8 years! A lot of things have changed since I first started, and here are two of those big changes (the other is at school today!). I get to spend my days with these two goofballs and I'm so grateful. I am also accepting dog training tips at all times--Lucy is a 4 month old golden retriever and, as the trainer said last weekend, an "exuberant" puppy. Elizabeth is warming up to being the tiniest dog owner in our home, and the days are long and full and noisy and wonderful. I'm glad you're here. PS: swipe to see just how many outtakes it took to get Lucy to just make a normal face, for Pete's sake. . . . . . . #portlandfamilyphotographer #portlandweddingphotographer #salemweddingphotographer #salemfamilyphotographer #newbergphotographer #pdxfamily #pdxmama #motherhoodunplugged #goldenretrieverpuppy #pnwgoldens

  • It's been a hot minute since I shared a fabulous bridal shoe shot, but they're always my FAVORITE to shoot! If we've met in person, you probably I know I am a FAN of fun shoes so it's always fun when my brides have incredible shoes to photograph! I loved Katelyn's @betseyjohnson shoes...I mean....that BOW! IT SPARKLES 😍😍 . . . . . . #bridaldetails #weddingshoes #portlandweddingphotographer #oregonbride #oregonweddingphotographer #salemweddingphotographer #pdxweddings #portlandwedding #hillsboroweddingphotographer

  • How are your new year's resolutions coming? I didn't set any new ones this year, but dedicated myself to keep up last years: gratefulness. Since last January, I've tried to be really intentional about taking time to be grateful for the smallest things, everyday. And you know what? That 👏 has 👏 brought 👏 miracles! Once I spent so much time looking for things to be grateful for, the whole world looked a little shinier 💕 . . . . . . #newbergoregon #businessownerlife #inspirationalquotes #sspbts #dontquityourdaydream

  • I love when brides choose a #weddingdress with a lace up back because it means more time for photos as your maid of honor or mama finishes the lacing. Always some of my favorite detail photos!
