If I'm not taking pictures or editing, I'm probably deep in the woods with my pup, or helping my husband renovate our historic 4 story home in downtown Mcminnville.
In 2017 my husband and I moved to the Willamette Valley and opened an Airbnb in the heart of Oregon wine country. Upon moving, we quickly fell deeply in love with the Pacific Northwest. We love Jesus, good food, Oregon wine, backpacking, fishing, & anything else that gets us out to explore.
My favorite thing about photography is getting to glimpse people in a very real and genuine way... My wedding photos are a treasure to me, and I find it very rewarding to be able to create that same treasure for others. Photos are something that only gain value as time goes on; a true investment. I love that I get to work with people who understand the value of love, relationship, and documentation of this precious, fleeting life.
I love Fettuccini Alfredo, hiking, big books, Wes Anderson, Canon cameras, the color green, and my two cats Mose & Jebby.
Most importantly, I love photographs. I was a lukewarm photographer for years. Then, my life changed forever - my sister passed away. I quickly found how important and cherished the photos I had with her were - the necessity of heartfelt documentation.
To me, there isn’t a gradient of “big” or “small” moments - every moment is of the utmost importance. Your WHOLE LIFE is defined by these little glimpses of goodness, that's what makes our time on this Earth so beautiful.
Hereafter Photography went above and beyond to make our wedding the most special day of our lives. They captured every moment with enthusiasm and really leaned into making our day extra special. We can't thank them enough for the wonderful communication leading up to our wedding. The executed as the pros they are, and we are very fortunate to have them be our photographers.
There aren’t enough words to recommend Lexi and Kelli for your special day! We loved that they both worked together and they were in sync the entire day of our wedding. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, they made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. They truly have the best energy.
10/10. Kelli and Lexi made our wedding day really unforgettable. They were positive and upbeat, helpful with ideas for pics - both planning shots ahead of time as well as "ooh, this would look great" on the fly based on our surroundings, lighting, and other factors. We had great chemistry with them and the results were just spectacular. I think we'll treasure our photos from Hereafter for decades to come.
