A destination engagement session in Oregon? YES. Just outside of Portland and 20 minutes north of Cannon Beach, this little beach town called Gearhart is a haven. It’s been almost a year since I first laid eyes on the beautiful Oregon landscapes. Wide beaches, lush forest, jagged cliffs… man do I miss it. I had […]

This Session…. I am absolutely obsessed with it to this day!

I likely chose way too many photos of Sarah and Lucas from their sunset engagement… OOPS!… but I simply couldn’t help myself. This is one of my favorite photo locations in Western North Carolina and no matter what season I go, rain, fog, or shine, it’s incredible! To Sarah, Max Patch is a special place. […]
