Urban Sweetheart Session

I had a fabulous time with the sweetheart sessions booked through my Valentine’s Day free session promotion.  I’ve just got to share this one as it’s so much fun!  These guys were up for anything, including standing on a giant pedestal in downtown Portland and letting me set up lights and put them literally on display for a few minutes!

We did some long exposure light shots, silly ballroom dancing in the square, and beatles-style marches across main streets.  I went through about 4 different itterations before settling on this filmstrip.  I’ll try to post a few more on flickr.  These two were simply a joy to work with, and it paid off for them with unique and very cute portraits.  To the couple, I hope you enjoy your photos and I wish you the best of luck achieving what you’re setting out to achieve!

Why I take Photographs

Maternity Photo Collage from 2008

Maternity Photo Collage from 2008

There are so many reasons why I love taking photographs. The most compelling reason I can come up with off the top of my head this morning is the desire to share this life with people and capture it’s beauty.

Every portrait session is unique in its energy, its purpose, and its style in the moment. I love sitting down and looking through the photography that I’ve captured, but it’s just that much more rewarding when the photos find their way back to me again. For example, a mom that I worked with for maternity and newborn portraits back in 2008 sent me a note recently.

She said about her now one and a half year old daughter, “Ixa currently drags around the collage you made of my pregnancy pictures and talks about it all the time- it’s her favorite mama picture at the moment! thanks again!!”

If you’ve had doubts about why it’s important to allow a professional photographer to help you capture your memories, here’s just one testament to it’s true value.

Free Sweetheart Session

I enjoy taking portraits for many occasions, but one of the things I love most is couples photography.  So many times getting couples together for a portrait session not only results in a beautiful keepsake, but helps those two people to see their relationship, each other and their emotions from an outside perspective that they don’t see for themselves every day.  And that can be quite a gift to give.

Because of that, I’m extending an offer that I’ve never extended before, but to take advantage you’ll have to act quickly!  Call or e-mail and book a couples session with me between now and February 14th (to be completed any time in February) and I will waive the session fee, no strings attached.  I’ll even include a 10% discount on the portrait purchases from these sessions.  The number of free couple portrait sessions will only be limited by my availability!  I’d like to give this gift to as many people as possible this Valentine’s Day, and help you give this gift to that special person in your life.  You don’t even have to tell them it was free ;-)

Just a few examples of how your couples session can take shape!
