I'm all about meeting new people and making new friends so I can't wait to get to know you! I'm also a hugger so lets skip the shaking hands.
I'm a natural light photographer based in Portland, OR and traveling worldwide. What do I mean by natural light photographer?

Skylar (and her husband) did a photo shoot for my wife, two kids, and me. I was very nervous going in, as my oldest son was barely 3 and my youngest son was only 8 months. Skylar and her husband Jimmy were so good with the kids, to the point my three year still asks about when we will hang out with them again. They were very patient with waiting for all of us to be ready to get the best shot. We were thrilled with our photos, they were so much better than we thought possible given the challenge of a toddler and a newborn. I would definitely strongly recommend Skylar to anyone. More...

Skylar and her husband Jimmy make the perfect pair! We had the great pleasure of hiring Skylar and Jimmy for our wedding photography/videography. They are both so talented and truly love what they do--and it shows! I was able to see several unedited shots from Skylar's camera after she snapped them, and I was surprised at how acutely she was able to capture the detail and beauty in small, special moments. We can't wait to get our photos back and look forward to working with them again in the future! More...

We are so thankful we had Skylar to capture our special day! From the very beginning moments of our getting ready to our send off, she captured it all. Our wedding was shorter than the average but Skylar managed to catch every moment and all the family photos and in betweens. More...

I can’t say enough how I admire Skylar’s intimate and lively approach to photography. Getting your pictures taken be such an agonizing experience when you’re not comfortable with it, and Sky’s entire being puts you at ease. I’ll never forget the evening we spent together at the Windows section of Arches National Park. She greeted me with a warm hug and as the sun went down, we took a journey in photos while we also got to know one another. I knew instantly that here was a photographer for whom art is a way of sharing and of loving the world. Sky is a remarkable human who embodies the notion that a photo isn't taken, but made. More...

Skylar took our engagement pictures and we love our pictures!! We were both a bit nervous going into it since we hadn’t taken candid pictures before. Skylar was great at making us feel comfortable and telling jokes to make us loosen up and laugh! I was amazed with the emotions that she captured on camera. Her editing style is also unique and makes her work stand out. Highly recommend Skylar! More...

Skylar did a fantastic job with our newborn daughter. We had planned for pictures and our little girl wanted nothing to do with getting her pictures done. Skylar was so patient and knew exactly what to do to still get amazing photos! We can not thank her enough!! More...

I could write all day about how amazing Skylar is. We have worked with her two years in a row now for holiday photos and we also had her do our newborn daughter's photos this past summer. Skylar is a natural. Her attention to detail and ability to capture the most precious moments shared in a family are priceless. She has an eye for candid shots and the photos she takes speak for themselves on how beautifully she can edit. Besides her amazing talent at photography, Skylar is such a genuinely kind, compassionate and wonderful person. She is a breeze to work with and even if you're camera shy, her ability to photograph you is so natural. We highly recommend Skylar as a photographer! More...

Sky came all the way from Florida up into the mountains of South Carolina to photograph the big surprise. Nate and I were truly blessed by her. We were especially thankful for how comfortable she made us feel and how adventurous she was with getting us in just the right spot for beautiful photos. Thank you, Sky and Hod bless your business!

She seriously wants even the people who hate being in pictures to be there for the occasion. I am so glad she did this for me otherwise I would only be in family pics for my sisters wedding. She is personable and really pays attention to every detail. More...

Skylar’s number one priority is you and making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Haven’t not had pictures taken in several years, she came prepared with jokes to make me laugh and and her heart to make me feel at ease. She is the kind of photographer you will have take your engagement photos and for years and years to come capturing every special moment in your family’s journey. More...

Sky was a pleasure to work with! I had hired her to take photos of our son's Bar Mitzvah service and his party that night. She went above and beyond for us. She was timely, both in her communications via email and for the events. She was personable, putting us and our guests, at ease for the photos. When I had technical trouble, she ran home and got the items that helped solve it. Most importantly, her photos came out beautifully. She captured the energy and love of the events. I plan on using her again next year for my daughter's Bat Mitzvah. Highly recommend! More...

I have now known Skylar for almost two years, and I have watched her photography be consistent in greatly capturing moments and personalities of all ages! She is extremely personable, and has an amazing knack for capturing everyone’s special quirks. I strongly recommend her for any photography needs! Her creativity is impeccable and is forever growing! You can be yourself entirely while shooting with her, and I find that to be an extremely important factor when working with someone. More...

Oh my gosh- truly can’t say enough about skylar and all of the photos she’s given to my family in the last couple months. She did our family/maternity photos and then our family photos as a new family of four- and has given my family photos and memories that I will cherish FOREVER ! She has an incredible ability to not only take remarkable pictures but to make you feel totally comfortable and at ease behind the lens.... not to mention she’s great with getting a two year old toddler to cooperate and even have fun with it! Thank you skylar, so so much for these photos. More...

I can't explain how fantastic Skylar and all the work she did was. She took photos of my husband and I, and It still baffles me that she was able to capture the care and beauty I see in my husband every day. She was so personable, kept us laughing through every icy wave that hit us, and was such a fantastic presence to have when we felt we didn't know what to do! She really captured some sweet moments and we couldn't hype her and how amazing her work is more than just saying trust her and go for it! More...

Skylar made me feel super comfortable from the very beginning. She calmly coached me through all of the pictures and made what I thought was going to be an awkward experience into an enjoyable one. She explained lighting techniques with me and knew when to take the perfect shot based on the sun's placement and ended up with some really cool pictures. I highly recommend her, she's very talented.
