Lifestyle Portraits

Lifestyle Portraits

I cannot stress enough how helpful it is to have incredible portraits of yourself. It both empowers you personally and elevates you professionally. It helps you celebrate milestones (big and small!). It gives you a BIG boost of self confidence. And it can even help you find love, if that is something you are looking for! There are so many reasons to do a lifestyle portrait shoot and I am always SO thrilled to brainstorm ways to help customize a session for your personal needs.

I’ve been a portrait photographer in Portland for 15 years, and I’m deeply passionate about portraiture and identity. My goal is to empower individuals and our community in Portland with gorgeous, unique imagery.

My work is inclusive, honest, real, and artistic. It’s also profoundly personalized. The most important thing for me is creating a connection with you! I will work with you to get to know you, understand your unique photography needs, as well as the things you love most about yourself, your best angles, and bring it all together in portraits you absolutely ADORE.

My process

  • Schedule a phone call with me! We will get to know each other and brainstorm the type of photos that you need and ideas for the shoot. I’ll explain more about my process and answer any questions you might have.
  • Choose a date and collection.
  • I’ll send you an online contract and invoice to book me officially.
  • We plan more, both over email and the phone, to prep for your portraits.
  • On the day of the session, we’ll take a ton of photos, you’ll change outfits as many times are you want, and we’ll have a ton of fun!
  • I’ll go home and upload the pictures, and get rid of any that are unflattering.
  • I’ll upload the unedited pictures to a private online gallery as proofs and send them to you within one week.
  • You’ll look through your pictures and favorite the shots that you want me to edit and retouch (however many your collection includes). You’ll make your decisions mostly on facial expressions/body language at this stage, since the photos are unedited and I can fix lighting, crops, etc. If you want more than your number includes, you can add extras for $15 each.
  • Once you pick the photos, email me, and then it will take me a max of three weeks to edit them!
  • When I’m done, I’ll email you a final gallery with the high res, retouched pictures. They will be in both color, and black and white. You’ll be able to download the images directly from the online gallery to use as you need them!
