Family Portraits –

The Stress-Free, Fun Experience You’ve Always Wanted

In Studio or on Location

Let’s be real—life doesn’t slow down, and your kids sure aren’t either. That’s why now is the perfect time to hit pause and capture this season before it slips by. I make the whole experience smooth, relaxed, and actually enjoyable—so you can stop stressing and just enjoy the moment. From personalized planning to finished artwork you’ll be proud to hang, I take care of everything.

GET STARTED

"Jacki is the best photographer! She is so patient with the kids and I'm always amazed she gets a perfect shot with everyone looking every time. She always listens to my requests but is also very creative and takes fun and artistic shots that are always my favorite."

The Love-Your-Photos Formula

Loving your photos isn’t luck—it’s the plan.

1. Pick a Spot You’re Excited About

Studio vibes? Walk in the Park? Epic Oregon backdrop? I’ll help you lock in the location that fits your crew perfectly.

2. Real Smiles, No Pressure

No fake smiles. No “what do I do with my hands?” I guide you with posing and easy prompts to keep things fun, natural, and relaxed—even for the camera-shy.

3. Let the Kids Be Kids

Forget the forced smiles. I make space for play, personality, and genuine connection—so you can stop worrying and enjoy the moment.

4. A Session That Flows

I come in with a solid game plan so everything moves smoothly. No awkward downtime—just great energy from the first click to the last.

5. Gorgeous Lighting, Anytime

Overcast Oregon skies? No problem. I bring pro lighting so everyone looks vibrant, clear, and polished—any time, any weather.

6. Everyone Looks Their Best (Yes, Really)

Someone blinked? Gave you their “cheese” face? I shoot with intention and can blend images if needed to make sure everyone looks their absolute best in the final portrait.

7. I’ve Got an Eye for the Details

Stray hairs, twisted straps, awkward hands—I catch all the little things so you don’t have to. You just enjoy your people.

Photos You’ll Actually Want Framed

No more crossing your fingers and hoping the photos turn out. You’ll walk away with portraits you love—and memories that last.

"Jacki doesn't just take pictures, she sets everyone in the right spot with the right background and lighting. My kids are super grumpy when they have to get pictures... You would never know that when Jacki does our pictures! We all have so much fun!"

Hi! I'm Jacki, Your Hillsboro Family Photographer

Timeless Family Portraits, Made Easy

As a mom of five adult children, I know how quickly the years pass. One moment, you’re holding tiny hands, and the next, they’re all grown up. That’s why I’m passionate about capturing the laughter, love, and little glances that make each family unique. My goal is to create portraits that transport you back to this season of life—no matter how much time passes.

My sessions are fun, efficient, and designed just for your family. Even the ones who “hate having their photo taken” (spoiler: they always end up enjoying themselves!) feel at ease and comfortable. I guide you every step of the way to create images that feel natural, joyful, and full of connection.

More than just taking photos, I create a stress-free, enjoyable experience. I’ll help with everything—choosing the perfect outfits, making sure everyone looks great (even if that means swapping a face from another image), and helping you design beautiful artwork for your home.

Your family’s story deserves to be told, and I’d love to help you tell it. Let’s create something beautiful together!
