What really sets me apart from other photographers is the unique combination of roles I play in your story. Not only am I there to document your moments, but I’m also your officiant (yes, I’m ordained!), your confidante, and your biggest cheerleader. Think of me as a multi-tasking, go-with-the-flow presence—here to keep things easy, fun, and completely stress-free. Whether it’s helping you with timeline questions, offering some gentle guidance on how to pose, or even calming pre-wedding jitters, I’m here to make sure you feel comfortable, celebrated, and most importantly—like yourself—in front of the lens.
What I love most about my job is the chance to witness and capture the small, intimate moments that often get lost in the hustle and bustle of life. I believe in being more than just a photographer; I want to be a part of your journey. If you’re looking for someone who not only gets the shots but also understands that the day is about you, your people, and your love—I'm the person you're looking for.
I grew up in a small town where community was everything—where people knew your name and you always had a helping hand. I bring that same warmth and sense of connection to every shoot I do, whether it’s a wedding, a family portrait session, or capturing the joy of a high school senior’s final year. I want you to feel like we’re friends who happen to be making memories together.
So, if you’re ready to document your life’s most meaningful moments with someone who cares deeply about who you are, why you’re here, and what makes you you, then let’s chat. I can’t wait to work with you and create memories that you’ll cherish forever.
Hey there! I'm Wendy—former educator turned full-time photographer, living in one of the most beautiful places on Earth: nestled in Oregon between Mount Hood and the Columbia River Gorge. I swapped my time in education for a camera to help tell the stories of the most precious moments in life — I couldn’t be more grateful for this incredible journey.
Photography has always been my passion. As a kid, I was the one with a digital/ disposable camera or iphone in hand at every family gathering, always capturing the smiles, the silly moments, and the tiny details that make life so rich. Now, years later, I’m fortunate enough to call that passion my career. Whether it’s the quiet, intimate moments of a wedding, a spontaneous elopement, a fun family adventure, or a high school senior’s milestone, I’m all about celebrating love in all its forms.
I love to hike and travel.
This is me and my family in our favorite little town of Puerto Morelos, Mexico a few years ago
These are my people. My favorite humans in the world. My hubby and 3 babies
After my first husband lost his battle with mental illness, nature and hiking became therapeutic to me. Places like this will always bring me peace.
Ross and I met only months after my first husband passed away but his love helped heal my heart in the most unexpected and beautiful ways
