Portland Oregon Family Photographer

NEWBORN, MATERNITY & FAMILIES

I BELIEVE IN CAPTURING FAMILIES JUST AS THEY ARE: ALL THE IMPERFECTIONS AND QUIRKS; ALL THE MESSY HALLWAYS AND MESSY HAIR; ALL THE YARDS WITH OVERGROWN ROSES AND ALL THE BABIES WITH ONLY A DIAPER ON; ALL THE TODDLERS WHO ONLY WANT TO RUN AROUND AND EAT SNACKS AND ALL THE TEENAGERS WHO WANT TO DO THE SAME; ALL THE BIG SISTERS WHO ONLY WANT TO JUMP ON THE BED, THE BUNS IN THE OVENS, THE WILD MOMENTS AND THE QUIET ONES, TOO; I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS BEAUTY IN CHAOS AND THAT THERE IS MAGIC WHEN WE SHOW UP JUST AS WE ARE.

Nice To Meet You I’m Shelby

“STAY AWKWARD, BRAVE AND KIND.”

—BRENE BROWN

AND I WOULD LOVE TO PHOTOGRAPH YOUR FAMILY. I’M HERE FOR ALL THE DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS OF HOW FAMILY CAN LOOK AND I CELEBRATE ALL THE ITERATIONS. THE MORE WILD AND UNRULY, THE BETTER. THE MESSIER THE HAIR, THE BETTER. JUST SHOW UP AS YOU.

I LOVE BEING A PORTLAND OREGON FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER AND I WOULD LOVE TO TELL YOUR STORY.

I AM A SINGLE MOM OF TWO TEENAGERS AND WE LIVE IN PORTLAND, OREGON IN A 100-YEAR-OLD HOUSE WITH MULTIPLE GHOSTS, A LOT OF CRACKS IN THE PLASTER, AND A TINY CAT NAMED YOKO. YOU CAN FIND US TRYING TO GET MORE STAMPS IN OUR PASSPORT BOOKS, EATING TACOS IN OUR BACKYARD, OR HAVING PRINCE DANCE PARTIES IN THE KITCHEN.
