Glacier National Park Elopement in Whitefish, Montana

I was so excited when my cousin asked me to photograph her elopement in Whitefish, Montana last June. I arrived a few days early and captured photos on an epic hike to Iceberg Lake. S + L got married on the summer solstice at the edge of Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park. It was a beautiful day with sun and rain, tears and laughter!

Seacoast Beach Family Adventure in Kittery, Maine

I loved capturing photos with this family in the Seacoast this fall. The overcast skies and stunning scenery meant I could point my camera in any direction and get beautiful light and tones. I love the rocks, the trees, and historic fort features, which was especially appealing for the kids to explore. It was fun seeing them run and play.

Columbia River Gorge Senior Portraits | Portland, Oregon Outdoor Photography

Lillian chose to have her senior portraits along the Columbia River Gorge and wanted a natural place to explore. We lucked out with beautiful light and an epic sunset. Lillian had such great energy and we had so much fun creating these portraits together. I’m glad she was game for climbing on rocks and walking barefoot. These photos still feel like a dream to me!

We let the little ones run, jump, climb, and play as they do best. After the kids got their fill by the water we took a short drive across the river to a hill overlooking Salida and the surrounding peaks.

Summer Sunset by the River Family Adventure Session in Salida, Colorado

I love walking along the river and was grateful for the chance to capture Avery’s family memories in such a beautiful place. We met at part of the Salida River Walk one summer evening and let the kids play along the water’s edge and under the canopy of the beautiful cottonwoods and willows while I captured candids and portraits.

Outdoor Family Photography: A Couple of Dog Lovers - Golden, Colorado

The moody fog and yellow leaves certainly made up for the lack of golden sun at my first photoshoot in Golden, Colorado. We met up by the Clear Creek river trail where they often go to grab coffee and go for walks with their dog.

Outdoor Family Photography: Winter Fun in the Woods - New Hampshire

Emma and her family’s winter jackets, knitted hats and enthusiasm for exploring really made this shoot colorful + fun. Plus, I will NEVER get enough of those tiny rosy cheeks. Their dog got to live her best life on our hike in the woods, too.
