Sometimes I feel like meeting new clients is like playing that old game where you used Kevin Bacon’s name and tried to see if you could find a way in which you were connected to him. We meet clients through clients and then realize that there are connections in other ways too, and then we...

Sandhya • Oregon Episcopal School Class of 2010
I know that you’re not supposed to play favorites among your clients, anymore than you’re supposed to play favorites among your kids. The latter is easy for me because we only have one tot. But this session with Sandhya was, by far, one of my favorite sessions we have ever done with a senior. She’s...
Little Urbanites Halloween • Portland Oregon Photo Booth
We love taking the Mini Studio™, the RLPortraits version of an old-style photobooth, to events. So when Little Urbanites, one of our favorite Pearl District kid boutiques, asked us to bring it as part of their celebration for the Pearl’s Halloween Hunt, we were more than game. I have never been able to figure out...
Alexa & Erynn • Lincoln High Class of 2010
When I was younger I had this dream of having twins. I thought it would be the coolest thing. Now that I’m the mother of a crazy, exhuberant little girl I’m kind of glad that we have them one at a time (at least so far…) But that little part of me that loves the...
Resnick Family • Portland Oregon Family Photographers
We’ve been having a fabulous time working with Holly Resnick and Marni Renison, the faces of Better TV’s “It Moms” segments. Holly & Marni are bringing out a new website and came to us to do some new pictures to match their new look. One of the things that I absolutely love about them is...
Meet a Lucy Pro! • Portland Oregon Photographers
I know that this will sound corny but I love Marni Renison of tv’s It Moms. She is one of the most vivacious, creative, charismatic people I have ever known. She’s also, as she and Holly are fond of saying, “Really real.” She’s a real mom, a real friend– and a really amazing runner (not...
A whole lotta joy to be given • Portland Oregon Children Photographers
Many of you know how involved we are in the community, and one of our favorite charities hands-down is the Children’s Cancer Association. It’s an amazing organization begun in memory of Alex, a little girl who lost her battle to cancer after a brave and inspirational two-year battle. Eleven years later, CCA provides what they...
Katz family • Portland Oregon Family Photographers
Michelle is a friend of a friend who I have seen in passing oh, about a million times. And one day this summer she said, “You know, we really should do family pictures with you guys.” I was game, of course. And then we got to their house last week and I saw her boys…...
It’s that time again… • Portland Oregon Lifestyle Family Photographers
I love the build-up to the holiday season mostly because I am a self-declared holiday junkie. I love Halloween and dressing up and little children meandering the neighborhood streets trick or treating. I love Thanksgiving and cooking for three days. And no, I’m not being ironic. But most of all, I love the winter holidays....
Erin and Gus • Portland Oregon Wedding Photographers
I love the hub-bub of weddings, the nervous anticipation, the beautiful moments when two become one. Erin and Gus’ wedding was one of those days when everything comes together perfectly, in all it’s imperfectness, to create a truly beautiful couple. Erin had been quite sick leading up to the wedding with some flu bug or...
