The Burnett Family- Sherwood Family photographer

There’s something uniquely heartwarming about photographing families on their own property—especially when that family includes spirited teens and one energetic younger siblings.

This past weekend in Sherwood, Oregon, I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful family at their home, surrounded by rolling hills, tall pines, and that soft, golden Oregon summer light. The teens brought personality and laughter to the session, while their younger siblings added a playful spontaneity that kept everyone smiling.

The property was the perfect backdrop—familiar, meaningful, and deeply personal. From candid shots in their yard to more posed moments on their field, every image captured their bond in a way only home can inspire.

Family photography isn’t just about smiling faces; it’s about connection, growth, and the love that fills the spaces between. Sessions like this remind me why I love what I do—freezing time, just for a moment, in the place where life happens.

The Thompson Family- Sherwood Family photographer

I had the joy of photographing a beautiful family of five in Sherwood, Oregon—and what a fun session it was! With three energetic kids, there was no shortage of laughter, movement, and sweet, unscripted moments.

We met at a quiet local park just as the evening light softened, giving us that golden glow every photographer dreams of. The kids ran through the tall grass, they played, and took turns making each other laugh—while I captured all the chaos and love that makes family life so special.

Sherwood is such a perfect place for outdoor family photography—plenty of open space, a peaceful atmosphere, and that signature Pacific Northwest greenery. It’s the kind of location that lets families relax, be themselves, and enjoy the experience.

This session was a beautiful reminder that the best family photos aren’t always the perfectly posed ones—they’re the real moments. The giggles. The hugs. The in-between glances. That’s where the magic lives.
