Your Camera, My Talent

If you could own the memory card of the best family or event photographs ever taken wouldn't you be thrilled? I am now offering a service called, "Your Camera, My Talent." If you hire me to create portraits with your camera and memory card, I will give you a 50% discount!
Here's why....So much of a photographers time is spent uploading, downloading and saving media to a specific format.
Many of my customers want to share their images via social media and the easiest way to do that is by inserting the memory card directly into their laptop! So, why spend hours creating CDs or share via websites etc. Images live on these cards and they get printed via the cards, so why not just own the card!~
If you would like instant results, no waiting or fussing over editing or the selling of images one at a time, call me! With my talent and your faithful camera...you can have results and control of your own images for 50% less cash and NO WAITING~
Give me a call at 503.888.5663. One price for instant results and you keep the card and camera!

Yelp Away!!!!

I want to do a shout out to all of my loyal customers who have taken the time to write glowing reviews on Yelp to try and let new customers know what is so special about working with me.
The one word that keeps coming up is "magical."

It mean so much to me that my clients are happy and feel the desire to talk about me long after our session. If you have been a past customer and want to share your feelings, join is the fun!

On Meeting Annie Leibovitz

Seeing Annie Leibovitz in person and getting her autogrpah in her new book"Annie Leibovitz at Work" was by far one of the most thrilling moments of my life. I have admired her tenacity, vision and confidence throughout my life as I have watched her tranform herself into one of America's most well known woman photographers. After hearing her speak, I came away feeling like she was definately in the right place at the right time. Over and over again.
She talked about photographing her family and how those photos are some of her favorites. I too feel the same way. The photos that I have taken of my nieces in particular mean so much to me. There I am with my newly signed book, knowing that an heirloom has just been aquired! Notice the pearls....anyone recognize them?

The New President of America Greets America

America Rejoices as our new leader takes the stage in Chicago,IL (my hometown) to greet the American public and accept him as their new President elect. Oregon happened to be one of the states that sent his votes over the number he needed to clinch the election. I have friends and relatives that have worked very hard to get him elected. Thank you to my cousin Jake and his wife Mina Neuberg and friend my freind Pam Hellesto! Job well done. Let's all hope that he can lead our country in a better direction and find peace in knowing that it appears that he is a man with good values, a decent education and the guts to try!
