family photos at home // portland, oregon family photographer

i love family photography at home any time of the year, but it is especially cozy in the winter/early spring months.

it’s such an honor to be invited in to your home, the center of your precious family, to witness you in your most natural state. and in these rainy months, it’s a relief not to have to worry about the weather.

it’s a good reminder that your family photos don’t need to be taken in epic scenery. you don’t need fancy outfits. your home does not need to be spotless or perfectly curated or adhere to a certain aesthetic. we just need a space where you can connect with your loved ones, and be yourself - it’s the unscripted moments that will bring you back to the feeling of this time when you look at these photos in the years to come.

the everyday magic is always worth capturing. your home, your family, is unique. let your family’s authentic expression breathe life into your photos. reach out, let’s create together!

"...till morning comes let's tesselate..."

Sondra and Casey have one of the best "how-we-met" stories i've ever heard - they were originally connected through match.com and exchanged messages and phone numbers. before they had texted or called, they both separately went to the Alt-J concert at the Crystal Ballroom. Walking through the crowd, Sondra heard her name called - when she turned around there was Casey! they say, "We both felt like we won the lottery. And still do."

they are warm, authentic, and passionate people and i'm so so excited to be shooting their wedding this fall - at the Crystal Ballroom where they first met. 

reichmuth family // at home {portland family photography}

this little family is special to me - i had the honor of photographing Lucy's birth last February! i have yet to share those beautiful photos (though you can see a little sneak peek of one of them below - look out for the sweet rainbow-stamped foot!) but hope to get around to putting together my birth photography portfolio soon. i was thrilled to be asked to shoot a lifestyle session for their lovely family 9 months after Lucy's birth, it is always a joy to see the Reichmuths! especially on such a glorious sunshiney fall day.

PS - Brittany is an amazing photographer herself - check her out here!
