Who is Aedan?

“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever…It remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”  -Aaron Siskund


Who is Aedan?
Aedan, my oldest son, is vivacious, smart, creative, artistic, and humorous.  He is a frequent model and appears in many gallery photos, as do my other two children, Azrael and Ari, who were not born when the studio was founded.

About me:
I live in Hillsboro, OR with my husband, three kids and too many pets to list.  My passions include flying and photography.  I received a degree in Aeronautical Science from Foothill College.  I have also received Bachelor’s degrees in Graphic Design from the Academy of Art in San Francisco and in Photography from Marylhurst University.  Additionally, I earned a Masters in Science from Marylhurst University.

My photographic style:
I have always had a passion for photography and capturing the moment.  In fact, I loved photography from the moment I got my first camera.  I set up my first darkroom in my parents’ garage when I was only 13 years old; my passion is still as strong today as it was then.

I try to capture the moment.  My sessions are often a little longer, as I photograph people in unposed interactions and try to capture the real you.  I provide lifestyle photography in studio or outdoor settings.  I strive to create a timeless image, a frozen memory, and cherished image that will hold a moment of time for you to treasure forever.
