Making Team Headshots Fun: The Power of Posing with Pets

Team headshots can be lots of fun and bring out each individual personality, especially when you bring along your best friend! I recently took outside headshots of a local company for their website and marketing materials. After all the serious shots were taken, we had everyone snuggle in and pose with their dog. You can see how powerful their connections are in how relaxed and happy everyone looks! I love how this series turned out - it’s absolutely adorable!

Sokol Larkin Law Firm, Portland Headshot Photographer

I set up a mini studio at my client's office to photograph new headshots for them. I’m always willing to travel to the client’s location in order to photograph the whole office with the least amount of disruption. This client requested updated photos for their website and other marketing material, and the results are impressive! I love to see how clients utilize their headshots, and their new, updated website looks superb!

Capturing your team’s personality: Outdoor headshot session for the whole Company, Tualatin Headshot Photographer

I recently had the pleasure of photographing headshots for a firm in Tigard. They requested individual photos of their employees in an outdoor setting, and over several days, we captured each person. The result was a cohesive collection of images that reflect the personality of each team member while maintaining a harmonious look. I think they turned out great!

I’m always happy to travel to your location, meet at a local park, or use my studio for your company headshots. If you’re interested in updating your professional images, please reach out!.

What to Wear for your Family Mini-Session

Family photoshoots and mini-sessions are a great way to capture you and your family at this moment in time; a way to treasure memories for a lifetime.

“What should we wear?” is always the first question my clients ask when scheduling their photoshoot. Planning your outfits is important to give a cohesive look to your family, but also, don’t stress out too much. Following a few simple suggestions below will help make you and your family shine!

Tristan's Senior Photos, West Linn Senior Photographer

I’m looking back at some of my photos from last year. Tristan looks so awesome in all of his Senior Photos. I love photographing in the woods and in nature in general. River pics are always fun to photograph, and Tristan's were no different! I love catching the sun as it starts to set - it creates such a beautiful effect with the light.

Don’t Miss Your 2025 Yearbook Senior Photo Deadlines!

Senior year is an exciting time, but it can also be busy with deadlines and to-dos, especially when it comes to your senior yearbook photo. I know how important it is to get that perfect shot in before the deadline, so I’ve compiled a list of senior photo deadlines for local schools to help you stay on track. I put general timeframes for some based on last year’s dates for schools that haven’t posted them yet.

Here’s the local deadlines:

• Canby High School: Mid-November 2024 (based on last year's date)

Fall is the perfect season to capture you with the beautiful colors of autumn as your backdrop. Whether you want vibrant leaves, an urban photoshoot in Portland, or something else, we can create a personalized session that highlights your unique style and personality.

What to Expect from Your Fall Senior Session

Once we schedule a date, we’ll meet for a short consultation to talk about ideas for your shoot. I love working together to plan something that feels authentic to who you are. We’ll go over outfit ideas (typically 2-3 looks) and locations that bring out the best in you. The shoot itself lasts up to 2 hours, giving us plenty of time to capture a variety of poses and vibes, from fun and carefree to classic and elegant.

Have a favorite hobby or sport? Great! Bring along props and I’ll help showcase your passion!

You can check out some examples of my previous work in my Senior Gallery. I can’t wait to help you create photos you’ll love for years to come!
