Portrait sessions are $200, at your location choice and include 50 to 80 high res images on CD. These sessions are great for senior portraits, maternity and newborn, family portraits, engagements or professional head shots. Email me for all the details.
My wedding packages range from $1200 to 2200.
I don't post a list of packages because I custom build them for each client based on what is most important to you. My clients are always really appreciative of the a la carte pricing. Most couples spend around $1600 and have digital images included. Email me for more info.
My style both in portraits and weddings is as an observer. I stand back and watch a reception using my long lens or I follow a toddler around their house. I let people be themselves and I find my favorite images come from the most natural moments.
Through working with a prominent wedding studio in the portland pearl, I have photographed so many diverse couples and families. Many people feel more comfortable when given guidance and in that sense my "style" changes to support each client's confidence in front of the camera. So, sometimes I do "pose" people in a certain place in their scene and give them an idea of what I'm looking for, but I don't tell them how to tilt their chin. This keeps my images fresh, relaxed and authentic.
Besides the style and the types of photos you want, it is also important to match your personality with your photographer. If you are comfortable and enjoying yourself, your pictures will be show it. It's important to hire a photographer whose portfolio you love but also who you really like. I'm a people person and know that helping everyone feel comfortable, whether that's your new family at your wedding reception or your toddler, is a really important part of what I do.
See what my client's say about this below. :)
So, send me an email or give me a call! I'd be happy to answer any questions you have. If you are planning a wedding, I'm always free to show you my albums and discuss your ideas over coffee to see if we are a good match. I look forward to hearing from you. :) Sara

Sara,
The photos are wonderful! We love them all. I especially love all the photos taken on the dancefloor!
Thanks so much--you did a really great job.

Hi Sara,
We really enjoyed working with you. The way I usually measure this is how well Ethan interacts with the photographer and hands down, he liked you the best (we've worked with five photographers since he was born). This may seem insignificant, but as a parent and paying customer, it is important for me to have photos of my kids happy, rather than frightened or indifferent.
Needless to say, we are very pleased with the photos and have shared them with our friends and family.

Hello Sara,
Thank you very much for the absolutely beautiful way you captured our day! We could not be more pleased with the photos you took! It was very helpful to have them so quickly too!
We really appreciated the variety and extensive collection of photos to choose from.
We both appreciated your unobtrusive style and thought that you did a great job of going with the flow of the sometimes chaotic, soggy and emotional day.
The pictures of the rings are amazing and we absolutely loved the pictures from the end of the evening with everyone dancing!
Now we get to experience the day many times again in our minds as we look through the pictures for years to come!
Thank you again for being so flexible and AWESOME!
All the best to you,
Leah and John
Sara,
Thank you for the amazing job that you did on our pictures! It's been really fun to look back through them and remember our wedding day. The
day went by so fast that I'm glad we have your fantastic photos to remember it by.
I've been giving your name out to everyone I can think of, so hope you get many happy returns for the great job you did!

Hi Sara,
I have been admiring your work on your blog and on your website our friend's wedding. My wife and I are so impressed with your talent of capturing real life with photography.

Cheers,
