Hi! I'm Beth. 

My photography story began in the dry, dusty desert valley of Southern California, where my love for this creative outlet began when Dad lent me his Canon DSLR. After photographing every rose, tree, and stray cat in the neighborhood, I decided I loved photographing human faces the most and have been doing just that for the past ten years!

After transplanting north to Oregon, I got my B.A. in Business Management from George Fox University and began building up my business on the side, while working in Marketing at a meteorology equipment company.

What’s it like to work with me?

I'm pretty laid back in general. I avoid drama, go barefoot when I can get away with it, and enjoy loud, joyful company just as much as I do an evening to myself. Messy wind-tossed hair and ice cream stains on your kid's shirt probably won't bother me. Wedding details don't go exactly as planned? I'll roll with it. I’ll guide and pose as needed, but I'm committed to documenting moments as beautifully imperfect as they are. I’ll edit the photos according to my style, but keep photo shop to the bare minimum.

Photography has constantly pushed me out of my comfort zone. It's helped an awkward, introverted teen grow into an awkward, introverted adult with a new appreciation for the value of humans and the beauty of creation.

Connecting with new people who aren't afraid to be imperfect and real in front of the camera is one of my favorite things*.
