Amusement Park for the Win! | Portland Storytelling Photography

A Farmer's Life | Oregon Documentary Photographer| August 5-on-5

I was raised on a farm, working hard through the late spring and through the long, hot days of summer. My dad, Walt, took over the family business after graduating from college and at 70 years, still works a full day, 6 days a week.

Summer Blueberry Picking | July 5 on 5 Documentary Photography

Every summer, for the last 4 or so years, the kids and I make a trip to Morning Shade Farm to see how many blueberries we can pick before the sweat drips in our eyes, there's not enough water, and, "Mom, do we really need anymore berries?"
