In Portland, August is easily one of the best months of all to create awesome headshots and portfolios for models, actors and business professionals.

Josie

August was a big month for Josie: she appeared in her first film, shot her first portfolio and was signed to her agency, TMM. What’s next?

Nico

If Nico’s (Option Agency) in front of the camera, trees will be climbed, dogs will be petted and cuteness will abound.

Michelle

Michelle is a highly paid and very much in demand life coach who’s sense of play informs her work and can be seen pretty clearly in these amazing headshots.

Cassidy

Model. Actor. Stuntwoman. World Traveler. Martial Arts Expert. Jockey. (Yeah, Jockey.) When does she have time to sleep?

Cassidy is represented by the ZT Agency.

Amara

One of our favorite people of all time, a joy to be around and a beautiful presence at our yearly beach sessions.

Adrian

What’s the old expression? Too cool for school? Herein, too cute for words!
