PEOPLE & PORTRAITS

​

Photography for both the experienced and people who don't think they're photogenic.

​

Generally speaking, most people don't walk into a photo session thinking:

"I can't wait to pose in front of a camera."

Usually it's the opposite.

"I'm awkward."
"I never know what to do."
"I hate pictures of myself."

Good.

That's normal.

My job isn't to turn you into a model. It's to help create images that actually feel like you or your desired vision.

Whether you're updating your professional image, celebrating a milestone, creating something insane or artistic, documenting your family, or just finally getting photos you're proud of, we'll build a session around your personality instead of forcing you into a generic formula.

All portrait sessions include carefully curated, professionally edited images delivered in full resolution. Additional images are available beyond included package amounts.

​

Your Session Includes

​

Complimentary Access to Cobalt Studios

Every portrait session includes optional access to Cobalt Studios, our premium professional photography studio in Southeast Portland.

With multiple sets, professional lighting, and a constantly evolving creative space, you have the flexibility of a premium studio environment without paying an additional rental fee.

Prefer the outdoors? We can do that too.

Prefer your own space, your home, your business, or somewhere meaningful?

Let's talk.

The best location is the one that helps tell your story.

We have teammates galore. 

 

Trusted hair and makeup artists, stylists, assistants, and additional creatives are available when needed.

Not sure which session is right?

 

That's normal.

A lot of clients know they want great photos but aren't sure how much time, planning, or creative direction they need.

Send us your ideas, what you're hoping to create, and what you need the images for. We'll help point you toward the session that makes the most sense.
