Meet Whitney in Portland, Oregon

I love a good cup of coffee, cacti, anything vintage, and coats. I definitely have an unhealthy obsession with coats. I am happiest when I'm outdoors, whether hiking, camping, skiing, running or sipping a delicious Northwest beer in the sunshine. I am over the top in love with our rescue dog, George and our three-legged rescue cat, Penny Lane. I'm addicted to travel and adventure. Discovering new surroundings inspires and motivates me. I spent several years working as a Photojournalist in New Zealand and in Ireland. This background has heavily influenced both my style and my love for candid, in-the-moment images that are full of emotion.

    Favourite Place to Shoot: The Pearl District. I love the architectural elements in that section of Portland.

Three Things

  1. I love traveling. Exploring new destinations is by far my favorite pastime. When I'm not able to travel a long distance, you can find me outdoors in the beautiful Northwest hiking, camping and skiing.
  2. I can't live without my camera of course! It goes everywhere with me. (And I suppose my husband too!)
  3. I have lived in 3 continents, including stints in Ireland, New Zealand, England and the United States.

We had Whitney take pictures of my family with two little ones (1 and 3) and they turned out amazing! Would 100% use her again! She was very sweet and easy to work with

We had this photo shoot done since our whole family was in town and Whitney was wonderful. Very professional with great ideas for family shots that included ages from 79 to 1.

We had the absolute best experience working with Whitney for our family photos in Portland. From the moment we met her, she was so warm, kind, sweet, and professional. She immediately made everyone feel comfortable and at ease, which is such an important part of getting beautiful family photos. Whitney has an incredible eye. Every single photo she took was stunning. The composition, lighting, background choices, and small details were all perfect. She captured our family so naturally and beautifully, and the images feel both polished and genuine. Nothing felt forced or overly posed — instead, she was able to capture real smiles, sweet moments, and the personality of our family in such a special way. We are honestly obsessed with the entire gallery. Every time we look through the photos, we find another favorite. The shots are elegant, timeless, and full of warmth. She captured Portland so beautifully as the backdrop, while still keeping the focus on our family and the connection between us. Whitney is truly talented, and we are so grateful that she gave us such meaningful memories to look back on. She exceeded every expectation we had. We recommend her very highly and would absolutely love to work with her again! Thank you for the amazing photos! We will treasure them for a lifetime!
