Urban
My urban locations are chosen for their layered textures, striking color, and architectural character. These thoughtfully scouted spaces allow me to tailor the backdrop to your senior’s style for portraits that feel current, artistic, and full of personality.
Over the years, I’ve curated a selection of lake and river locations that deliver stunning images no matter the season. I know these spaces intimately from where to shoot to the exact time the light turns magical so your session feels relaxed and beautifully executed.
Choosing the right location is about far more than a beautiful backdrop. It involves timing, light, accessibility, crowd levels, travel flow, and how each setting photographs throughout the season. The locations featured here are some of my most requested and trusted, but they are only a starting point. With years of scouting behind me, I guide every family to places I know photograph effortlessly so you can relax and trust the process.
Lakes & Rivers
The Columbia River Gorge
Flower Fields and Gardens
I’ve spent years refining a collection of extraordinary locations throughout the Columbia River Gorge, including hidden viewpoints, quiet trails, and lesser known scenic overlooks. I know exactly where to go, when the light is at its peak, and how to create images that feel both iconic and deeply personal.
Each flower field and vineyard I photograph has been carefully selected for its beauty, light, and seasonal color. I closely track bloom timing and return to the locations that consistently photograph best, ensuring your session is planned when the landscape is at its absolute peak.
