Silverton Oregon Photographer - senior portraits with Jackson!

I’ve been photographing this kid since he was little, so it was really awesome to get to do his senior portraits. Instead of doing all of his photos in the fall, we did split his session up, also doing some in the Spring, right around the time he graduated high school. So, these photos really mark both the beginning and the end of his senior year. Anytime I’ve done this for senior boys, the change is quite noticeable! Not only do they change physically, but you can see the difference in their confidence.

Salem Portrait Photographer - If you love her, leave her wild.

Tiffany is basically my muse now. She started off as a client about a decade ago and quickly became a friend. At first it was just a few boudoir sessions (she’s sort of addicted to them), but then we started doing family sessions and every now and then she models for me as well. This session, for example, was very spontaneous (i.e. less than 12 hours notice), as I wanted to shoot in this field before my neighbors mowed it. The “flowers” had never been this tall, in the 12 yrs we’ve lived here, so it HAD to be done. I’m so glad I did because they flattened the field (to reduce fire danger) a day or two later.

I knew Tiffany would have just the right outfit for this shoot, as she’s a country girl and loves the outdoors. I also knew she’d be 100% fine with traipsing through a field full of burrs, dirt clods, rocks, and holes. She’s a bit of a wild woman…in the best way possible. She’s been through a lot the last few years and one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen is her fully embracing who she is and letting it shine! Someday, she’ll meet a man who loves her for exactly who she is and he won’t try to tame her. ;)

Silverton Family Photographer - Mama & Her Boys, at home

My client-turned-friend, Tiffany, asked if I’d be willing to drive out to her home near Silverton to photograph her and her kids. She has an adorable little cabin, with a river in her backyard (literally), so of course I as happy to shoot there! I’d been photographing Tiffany and her family for years already, but this session was unique, in that it was her first post-divorce session.

Anyway, we all had a good time, including the cat (who adopted them) that followed us and even jumped in a few shots. These were taken in 2019 and due to all that was 2020, we didn’t get a chance to do a family session this past year, so I’m looking forward to (hopefully) doing them in 2021!
