    Ally + Patrick | Engagement Session Adventure Time!

    A photographer always starts getting extra excited for the wedding when they have a super adventure time engagement session…

    It was so much fun working with Ally, Patrick, and their fur-baby Benji, around Tumalo Creek and Shevlin Park on a perfect sunny day in late June. We originally planned to go to Tumalo Falls, but when I got there to scout locations a little early it was totes cray with all the people there to look at the falls and take pictures. Pro-Tip: When utilized popular tourist locations go on a weekday.  We decided that privacy and a more natural look would work better for us and went down stream to a small rock beach. On our way back to the main road we saw this huge bolder; I inquired about their climbing skills. With a little bit of effort both Ally and Patrick were looking down at me from a solid 10-12 feed up!

    After our more rugged adventures we took it down a notch with some nice poses and cuddling around Shevlin Park. Patrick’s sisters were on Benji duty and what a blessing they were, since Benji let me know several times how he felt about me being closer to his mom and dad than he was. lol!

    Enjoy!

    Haley + Kaden | Red White Blue and Married!

    "I feel so lucky to have had Amanda there with us to document every major milestone in our relationship: engagement, wedding and now our very first pregnancy!

    She has become such an important part of our lives and made each event even more special with her photography and positive energy."

    - Erika + Matthew

    "Amanda has an amazing ability to capture the actual emotions of the experience on camera... All our guests fawned over our amazing and artistic photos, and I know the pictures will be excellent memories for years to come.

    More personally, Amanda is a super kind and generous person that clearly loves what she does."

    - Alison + Austin

    "I told [Amanda] I wanted some branding and lifestyle photos for my new website and social posts and she more than delivered!

    Seriously. I refer Amanda to anyone who wants to feel good about themselves, their business, their products, their event, whatever."

    - Kasey Yanna | Freedom Feels Communications

    "With Amanda, not only do you get a rockstar photographer, you get an experienced professional who understands the emotion and lifelong importance of every moment of a wedding. We received tons and tons of unsolicited positive feedback from our closest family and friends about Amanda. She was a constant source of support and positivity throughout the weekend."

    - Danielle + Matt

    "[Amanda] excels at: attention to detail & understanding the story of each client and shoot, kind and direct communication, and articulating clear instructions to whomever is being photographed.

    [...] she has a special ability to help bring out the best in you and give you photos where you shine!"
