We’ve been busy with portraits, weddings, and even a couple dashes of fashion shooting, but we wanted to pop in and let you know about our Portrait Specials for Valentine’s Day. If you’ve been looking for a good excuse to get special portraits in or around the Portland area, this could be the perfect time for you to do it!
Our special package for Valentine’s Day 2010 includes:
- TWO HOUR SESSION — enough time for several outfits, poses, and lighting styles
- We shoot in-studio, on-location, or even at your home… it’s up to you!
- A personalized look by one of our top Makeup and Hair Stylists
- Private online proof gallery, for convenient viewing and ordering on your schedule
- THREE professionally retouched final images of your choice
- $60 credit towards prints and products from your final selections
- Order additional prints from your gallery anytime — in case you decide you want more!
…all for $250!
You can take advantage of this seasonal special anytime between now and February 14th! You can book a portrait session before Valentine’s Day, or you can also give the session itself as a gift certificate, to treat your Valentine or share it with them.

We got together with Alyson and Jeff on a chilly fall day, to snag some casual engagement photos! They took advantage of our Try Us On special by scheduling their engagement shoot with us, and because they also booked us for their wedding, they got to keep the engagement photos at no charge. (Hint: you can still get in on this special, just by mentioning that you saw it on our blog! Be sure to contact us to book an engagement portrait session, before our wedding calendar fills up.)
The weather at the park was beautiful, and there was plenty of fall color to play with… and we even had pumpkins on hand to pose with! They started the session trying to look more sedate and composed for the photos, but Jeff–or as Alyson likes to call him, “El Jefe”–is apparently pretty notorious for not keeping a straight face in photos. But, we LOVE it when our portrait clients loosen up and clown around during a session, so we captured some parent-pleasing photos, and the spontaneous shots that showed them as the clever, funny, and utterly non-serious people they are when they’re together. 😉
We’re really jazzed to be the photographers shooting Alyson and Jeff’s wedding this coming Fall. It’s shaping up to be a blast, and we’re sure it’ll be anything but ordinary… just how we like it.

It’s been a busy week, especially now that Ben’s down with a cold, but we’re just popping in to alert our friends in the blogosphere about our new Try Us On special for engagements. We know that booking your photographer often turns out to be one of the toughest choices you’ll make when you’re planning your wedding, so we’re hoping to make that choice a little easier for you.
All you need to do is:
Book an engagement session with us, between now and November 30th. We’ll do your portrait session (sessions start at just $199), you’ll get your photos, and you’ll get the chance to try us on, and see if we’re a good fit for you.
Then, when you book your wedding with us, we’ll discount the price of your engagement session from your wedding package. Then, you’ll have an awesome wedding photographer booked, and you’ll be getting engagement photos you love for FREE. Pretty excellent deal, right?
We have dates available for portrait sessions between now and the end of November, so get in touch with us, and we can fill you in on all the details.

We had a great time shooting at Scarlet: A Vintage Fashion & Antique Car Show this past Sunday! The event featured gorgeous bridal and vintage designs from Portland creatives, which made for a beautiful runway show, and the Queen Anne Victorian Mansion made the perfect venue for an elegant event.
We also had the opportunity to shoot with the runway models at the Mansion before the show, and it was a truly amazing location! The inside of the mansion especially caught our eye, and it’s a place that really has to be seen to be believed. If you’re getting married in 2010, this is definitely a venue worth checking out… we had a lot of fun shooting there!
Here’s one of the photos from our Pre-show shooting, featuring a spectacular reconstructed wedding gown by Urchin Re.Design. We love the lush, vintage looks we captured at the mansion, so we hope it inspires some of our brides who might be thinking about what to do for a Bridal bonus session!

Kyra becomes a bride
We recently joined Kyra and Aaron for their wedding at the Arista Ballroom in southeast Portland, and had a great time getting to know the ladies of the wedding party, as they prepared for the ceremony. Kyra had a relaxed group of bridesmaids and friends who kept the mood light while she transformed into a gorgeous bride.

Pardon the interruption
We’re back from various and sundry early-summer adventures, and hitting the ground running with a laundry list of new tasks and upcoming work, including prepping for two weddings this coming weekend!
What were we up to during our break? After plenty of sailing experience on the rivers and lakes of Oregon, Ben was fortunate enough to serve as crew on his first sailing voyage on the ocean. As for Sarah, she just landed at PDX this past Monday evening, after spending two fast-paced and amazing weeks in China.
We both had fun, but we’re enjoying being back in the Portland we love so much, and we’re ready to keep moving forward! We’ll also be introducing you to our newest partner soon, so stay tuned!

More bridals, and makeup!
Here’s another bridal session that, unfortunately, had us cooped up indoors while it poured rain outside. But, the mood was light in the studio, and Olivia was a quirky and fun bride with a great sense of humor.
This was also a great time to highlight the work of one of our Partners, makeup artist Sabrina Cayne. She’s done amazing commercial and fashion makeup for us before, and she also does truly lovely work for brides and bridal parties! Sabrina provided makeup and hair for Olivia’s shoot, and did a great job of bringing out her natural beauty and creating a regal look. She’s a wonderful artist, and we really can’t say enough about her!
Her brand-new professional web site will be launching soon, but until then, you can reach her through her MySpace page, or we can put you in touch with her. We know you’ll be happy to have her as part of your wedding team!

Bridal Portraits: Jessica
Our session with Jessica was a two-part session: we started by shooting some lovely, softer close-ups in our studio, to capture a bit of elegance. Then, Jessica switched to an edgier up-do, and we moved out to the Broadway bridge, and got some great outdoor shots with the interest of an urban industrial backdrop. Jessica was a sweet and radiant bride, and we had plenty of passing cars honking in approval while we shot on the bridge. Sometimes, you can’t help but love this town!
