15 of Some of the Best Moments of 2020

We look back on an unforgettable year. Join us as we celebrate (some of) the BEST moments of 2020!

The McLaughlin family was a blast! This family included Grandpas and Grandma—and together, 3 generations shared in a lot of laughter and memory-making!

It was their 1-year anniversary. Last year, we celebrated the Voigt’s union at Deepwood Events in Elmira, Oregon; this year, we celebrated this milestone at a Lavender Farm.

Senior milestones and family ones, too! The Reynolds family celebrated their oldest child’s upcoming graduation and their wedding anniversary with portraits along the river and at their Alma Mater.

FleetNurse brought their team to the studio for a day of branding portraits to elevate their thriving brand. Along with our hair and makeup artist, we created a polished, professional, and cohesive look. One of their team members even flew from out of state!

This family has a story of deep trials and even deeper love. You may recognize their beautiful connection from our Best of 2019 blogpost. In 2020, we created a romantic feel among the late summer’s overgrown grasses—and it was a dream come true.

Sisters for life—that’s what this beautiful Mama is to me! Over the years, I’ve had the extreme pleasure of telling my Kappa Delta OSU sisters’ stories—and this year was no different. The Durbin family welcomed their precious son in 2020 and we created unforgettable portraits on their family dairy farm in Boring, Oregon where they first said, “I do.”

In 2020, we reconnected with this radiant woman (whose first boudoir session with us took place a few years ago). Though we had the pleasure of working with her twice this year, these images featured are specifically from our video project day in mid-December. Take a look at our first Heather Mills Photography teaser film down to the bottom of this post—and tell us what you think!

This year was the year of reconnection! Similarly, the Reeder family was a part of Heather Mills’ life some years ago, and for her to share a day with them in the late fall was a blessing. These family portraits bring a big smile to our faces!

Do you recognize this beauty too? She was featured as a bride on her wedding day in the Best of 2017 blogpost! 3 years down, and 2 amazing children later, these maternity portraits we captured to showcase this miraculous milestone in their lives.

Those senior milestones coincide with family milestones—after all, a child becomes an adult and spreads their wings! It’s a remarkable occasion that deserves the full treatment! From senior portraits in-studio and on-location, to family portraits complete with professional hair and makeup for mom, this day will be treasured by the Sanders family for years to come!

The dynamic family was met with a true Willamette Valley day—clear, crisp fall skies to heavy down poor! We always say, though: rainy days make for magical moments, and this was just as true as ever for the Angeles family!

We were honored to be selected by so many businessmen and businesswomen throughout 2020 to help them create headshots they are proud to share! This included artists such as Sandy Brown Jensen, copywriters, catering sales managers, investors, advisors, mortgage brokers, and more!

Many weddings and events were affected by the pandemic, but this couple sealed their union before our world was seemingly turned upside down. It remains a day to smile about, and a marker for what things were just weeks before Covid-19 changed how we lived. We look forward to more wedding days like theirs!

As always, we created a boudoir Best of 2020 post in our private group; ladies, request to join! We’ll sum up the year with these two images here, though: it was a wild and fabulous ride!

We ended our year with a filming day in-studio—which was the perfect culmination to our many amazing moments. This teaser video is just 40 seconds… but it sums up months of vision-casting… years of developing... and lifetimes changed. We would be honored if you would take a look at our heart revealed.

Will you be a part of our Best of 2021?
