20 of Some of the Best Moments of 2021

We look back on an unforgettable year. Join us as we celebrate (some of) the BEST moments of 2021!

This sweet family of 5 wanted family portraits to remember Oregon by. And they go it: a late fall day that absolutely showed off it’s colored leaves and radiant sky.

This wedding at the Graduate Hotel in downtown Eugene turned out to be a favorite! It was intimate, with great views, and a lot of laughter too! Adam and Sierra share a passion for sports—and one another!

This sweet newborn girl was given a name that runs in Heather Mills’ own family. Already adored, the name drew them even closer together. And just look at those eyes!

Senior portraits are the perfect encapsulation of the milestone moment. This Thurston High School senior wanted several looks—an edgier one with an architectural background, one by the river, and one in a green space in the rain. She got it all!

This Marist High School senior may look familiar to you—you can find her and her fabulous family in last year’s top 15 post! Her session featured multiple looks too: something a bit rustic, something a bit dreamy, and something blue too!

A group of Willamette Valley vinters were gathered together for a North Gilham Magazine and South Hills Magazine feature. Represented here: King Estate, Sweet Cheeks, Brigadoon, and Sarver.

This multi-generational session took place just days before Christmas. These two, plus their adult children, and their respective families gathered together to honor one another and their bonds. It was such a sweet group!

This couple along with a wonderful woman, embarked on the journey of surrogacy. Soon, their little one will arrive—a true blessing for 2022!

Year after year, we have the extreme pleasure of working with many business men and women. Showcased here: marketing executives, realtors, long-term care directors, and medical providers.

One of our favorite things to capture each year is the family dynamic. And this family was a wonderful delight!

Maternity portraits in a mood—and we’re here for it! This striking couple were perfectly fit for something with an edge. Parenthood looks good on them!

This summer Newaukum River Ranch wedding was a highlight for us! Like others, this couple’s wedding was delayed for a year due to the pandemic, but when the time came, their celebration was filled with excitement!

Building a family is such an exciting and exhilarating time. This beautiful mother was able to celebrate this season and the miraculous way a woman grows a child within her womb with a maternity session.

This sweet girl, 3 going on 13! Fun, stylish, and full of fun, we spent the morning together at a nearby playground then later at the 5th Street Market so her family could document this preschool stage in their daughter’s life.

Having experience in theater and production, Trinity wanted something bold and rich for her anniversary session. The two lovebirds used this time to commemorate their vows and also to remember their time in Eugene before heading out-of-state for a new adventure.

Romance for life. That is a goal for us all. This year, this couple shared a day exploring one of Eugene’s natural habitats for a sweet stroll alongside the river and through the wood.

This was our first wedding after the pandemic changed the world—and a delightful one at that! On a brisk but clear winter day, this sweet couple shared their vows among loved ones in his father’s church just south of Eugene.

The sun showed off on this radiant fall day. This precious family session highlighted three generations of love.

This year-in-review wouldn’t be complete without a mention of the scenic moments featured on our Art page. This image, Mystic Falls showcases the incredible and enchanting sights of the Pacific Northwest.

As always, we created a boudoir Best of 2021 post in our private group; ladies, request to join! We’ll sum up the year with this image—it was a bold year indeed!
