We know Micaela because we know her cousin Kylie, for whom we've done headshots a few times. We took these senior pictures at Reed College this past fall (and almost got in trouble!) and now we get to unveil them to the world! A super fun shoot with an awesome girl (and some great colors). We're booking senior pictures starting NOW, so hit us up!
MYA BROWN IN GREEN
Mya is one of my favorite models. She's enthusiastic and energetic and amazingly athletic. She looks great in every style of clothes and every time we work together, we have a blast. These awesome shots are from a Fun & Fashion session we did last fall (with some even newer images from the sports fields coming soon). Wardrobe Stylists: Claire Verity and Carson Verity | Hair and Makeup Stylist: Becca Olmstead.
DARCY
The Mom of one of my favorite models decided she wanted to get in on the action. We brought in our ace stylist, Rachel Christensen, put up a backdrop or two and just had a blast making some beautiful pictures. Now Mom has a portfolio -- as every Mom should! -- and we get to show off a bunch of amazing pictures. Thank you Darcy for a great day.

ALEXYS
We worked with Alexys for the first time about three years ago when she and her Mom dialed us up about a modeling portfolio (and we got in trouble for shooting on the railroad platform!)
We connected again this past summer for her senior pictures and then did an awesome shoot this winter at our Rockstar Session debut. It's easy math: gorgeous girl + cool clothes + plus nice light + eyes to die for = amazing pictures. We can't wait to work with her again!

And a flashback to our first shoot in 2015!
Tech Specs: New Shots: ISO 320, f16 @ 1/160 using one Bowens Gemini 400R and a 40" umbrella. I have no clue what the tech specs are of the outdoors shot. :). Processed with Lightroom and Photoshop.

CHLOE
BtBtB.
"Been too Busy too Blog."
What a great problem to have; we're grateful for the amazing amount of work we've been doing lately! But, seriously, we really need to be more diligent in sharing some of the beautiful stuff being done by kids from Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA, don't you think?.
This kiddo's from the Washington side, where we grow 'em smart and strong and full of life. We met Miss Chloe a few years back at a local dance studio and were reintroduced recently by the fine folks at Sports and Lifestyle Unlimited. Those SLU people are sharp: they recognized Chloe to be the smart, sparkling kid you see in these pictures.
Do you need a new headshot? We'll make you look smart and sparkling too ... and we'd love to meet you.
KIMBERLY
Kimberly is a very successful executive for a worldwide IT company. When she called in need of a professional headshot in short order, we fired up the lights in our studio and took care of business. We're really happy with her photo (and we appreciate our esteemed colleague, Christian Schilling, for referring us.)
ELLA CORTESE
We worked with Ella first the first time a couple of weeks back. She was getting some headshots done in preparation for a showcase (and, by all reports that have come our way, she pretty much rocked it.) We kind of figured she would, considering how awesome she was in front of our camera.
PAMELA FLEISCHMANN
This is Pamela Fleischmann. She's a Mom and an actor. She's smart and interesting and kind and it's really fun to work with her. If you're looking for a smart actor who's easy to work with (and super nice), then ring up her agency and hire her. You'll be very happy you did.

TEEN MODELING PORTFOLIO, ROCK AND ROLL ATTITUDE
Miss Ayla is a singer, dancer and actor who knows how to rock the photo set. She wanted to do a teen modeling portfolio that covered all the bases, from casual school clothes to a rock and roll leather jacket. We did these three looks for modeling portfolio in our studio using wardrobe she styled herself. Hair and makeup styling by the super-talented Aubree Richins.
FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY, THE BEACH AND THE SAND THAT CAME HOME WITH US
It's a beautiful, snowy day here in Portland, unusual for this part of the country and worthy of our embrace. Maybe we'll get the kids and the pups and the mittens and galoshes and shoot some fashion photos in the snow. In the meantime, here's some sandy Yin to balance our snowy Yang, a Thursday throwback to our amazing summer shoot with Miss Mya.

ONE OF OUR FAVORITE FASHION SHOOTS OF THE YEAR
It's December. It's cold. There's 2" of snow on the ground, enough to bring Portland to its knees (or at least turn 10-mile commutes into Long Island-like gridlocks). We have the perfect solution: a flash back to one of our favorite fashion shoots of the year, a gorgeous group of images captured at the beach with one of our favorite models.
Model: Kyra Bissett
BORIS. ROCKSTAR.
We love Boris. The dude's a rockstar, through and through.

ISABELLE
I could tell you this kid's a sweetheart, that she's fearless, that's she adventurous, that she's sassy, that she loves red lipstick, that she was a blast to work with. But the pictures already tell the story!
Model: Isabelle | MUAH: Becca Olmstead at The Locksmythe Salon.
PS: In case the eyes didn't give it away, she's the little sister of Miss Alexandra, whose photos we posted a few days ago. Click here to take a look.

HAILEY
Great pictures always happen when Hailey's in the house. This portfolio has a great range of looks; the shot at the end of the set -- in the black "DANCE" T-shirt -- is our favorite. Such attitude.

ALEX
These images were taken a few days ago during our third session with Miss Alex. I can't say I've ever seen eyes quite so deep and penetrating as hers. She's an ambitious kid with the desire to do it all; we had great fun working with her on these beautiful photos.

ANNMARIE THE DANCER
These images are from the third dancer session we've done with AnnMarie over the past year or so. She possesses a dedication and determination that underscores tremendous athleticism, all of which we think comes to the fore in these photos.
Tech Specs - ISO 200, f10 @ 1/160 using three Bowens Gemini 400Rs. Camera and Lens: Canon 5D MKIII, 70-200mm f/2.8. Processed with Lightroom and Photoshop.

KACI THE ATHLETE
I met Kaci this past spring while doing a fashion shoot with one of her friends. She hired us over the summer to shoot her beautiful senior photos (at the beach!) and again this fall to do some modeling portfolio pictures. Our last session was focused on sports and swim and the results are awesome.

HAILEY IS A ROCKSTAR
I love working with this kid. Every time I photograph her, she shows me a different side of her personality. In this shoot, she took the deep red setting and furry black rock and roll jacket and gave me a full dose of mystery (and a little bit of mischief).

ELLIE BRINGS THE LOVE
These images are from our second shoot with Miss Ellie, which took place at our studio a few weeks ago. She looks a little different than she did a year ago but her sparkling personality has remained true since the day we met. It's a privilege to work with kids like her.

SATORI
Awesome things come in small packages and no one proves that more than Miss Satori. A powerhouse dancer, an up-and-coming actor and a model who just shines in front of the camera. We're so pleased to count her among our clients.
