a meaningful + connected photography experience
family photographer in corvallis, oregon
I believe in photos that really mean something. photos that live far beyond social media and holiday cards. photos that live through generations and gain value through the years. photos that are special today, but even more special for your kids when they're grown. i approach sessions with purpose- not taking photos to keep with the trends, but taking photos intentionally and thinking of the longevity of the images. whether in thoughtful combinations or through poses/ prompts that show the authenticity and connection in your family. your photos should mean something real.
Photos that mean something.
Serving the grater Corvallis, Salem + Portland areas for the last 4 years, I love to photograph families, maternity and newborn sessions. Personally, I'm your basic Jesus following, dog loving, red wine drinking Oregon photographer, wife and mom. Connected families + moments have always been my favorite stories to tell- documenting "small moments" that mean so much to you is what inspires what I do. Sweet seasons of new babies, carrying your child, births or just living life with your family- I wholeheartedly believe these moments are worthy of being preserved and remembered.
Kenzi here! i can't begin to share with you how excited i am that you're here!
Meet your photographer for every family moment
Creating images that bring you back to a feeling.
this is "kid led" photography. expect a session that is relaxed, connected and organized. I like to balance a "go with the flow" approach to keep it positive with the kiddos. i also value working in posed shots and keeping the structure between the candid moments. basically, you can expect a balanced session experience where we have the freedom to organically get all the posed and unposed moment in an organic, easy going way.
The experience.
The baby announcement, the maternity photos, the birth, connected baby led newborn photos, family photos and even generational family photos- I'm here for the long haul. My favorite thing is getting to photograph families through the years. The photos, the experience you get- it's just so much richer, more meaning filled and even fun when it's about the long term relationship.
Here for the long
term relationship.

"I cannot say enough good things about Kenzi. She is so incredibly warm and easy-going and talented. She made us feel at ease from the second we met. She guided us so well throughout the shoot (embraced and rolled with our awkward selves lol) and delivered an outstanding gallery."

"Kenzi made the whole experience so fun which for us is hard because we are awkward when it comes to being photographed but it was so easy and seamless with her. ... Her photos are so beautiful and she really captures our personalities and the emotion in every shot!!
