Hi, I'm Jaime!

Portland, OR & Vancouver, WA photographer for families, newborn and maternity photography.

To me, photographing families, newborns, and maternity sessions is incredibly meaningful. I love connecting with people and building genuine relationships with those I work with. My family photography style is natural, fun, creative, and comfortable.

You’ll find me ordering a coffee daily (I know it’s a terrible but wonderful habit), hiking, camping, creating, being sarcastic with my husband Pete, and being silly with my kids, River and Meadow. My best friend would say I am funny, genuine, kind, and outdoorsy! Leave me in the mountains with a cup of coffee and I am content. 

Thank you Emily Louise Photography

I'M A MOMMA TOO AND I KNOW...

 Motherhood is really tough!

You are rarely in front of the camera and you want someone to take the lead and create beautiful images of you and your family.   Moreover, a seamless process that you fit easily into your busy life!

It is often the simple, spontaneous, and sweet moments that are most precious to photograph. Your kids sweet curly hair blowing in the wind, their quirky smile, and how their innocent eyes look at you right now. The feeling of excitement weeks before you meet your little one for the very first time as you hold your beautiful belly.
Your newborns tiny fingers wrapped around yours and the feeling of the world stopping while you gaze into that tiny new face.

These are the fleeting moments you don’t want to forget and you know time is passing so quickly. I want to show you through your photographs how incredibly beautiful your family is just as they are. Nothing stiff or fake-all real interactions with your family captured and ready for you to frame on your walls to cherish.

It is often the simple, spontaneous, and sweet moments that are the...

...most precious to photograph. 

my story

My transition into motherhood was challenging but...

After giving birth to my first child, my beautiful son, I experienced postpartum depression.  He was perfection, but I was in a hard place. With a lot of support and patience, I got through it.   

When I picked up my camera, I felt human again and it was my sacred creative place.  Now, I am honored to photograph families from a space of compassion, understanding, and no judgements. 

I believe there has to be community within motherhood--it's too much to bear on our own.  I am here to show you how incredibly beautiful you are now, no matter how chaotic motherhood is.
