What our clients are saying:

Frequently asked questions:

  • There are so many AMAZING locations for a photoshoot in the Portland area. The whole PNW is full of gorgeous photo spots. If you’re having trouble deciding, we have a ton of suggestions we can share with you! There’s an endless supply of perfect locations here!

  • We can shoot in as many locations as you’d like! Make sure to book an adequate amount of time for your session, and we’ll help you plan it so everything flows smoothly.

  • To have fun!!! That’s really the most important part. When you’re enjoying yourself, it’s going to shine through in the images. We’ll walk around our location, and shoot where we’re inspired, in beautiful spots & great lighting. Chelsea lightly directs the session, and Nick often comes along to assist. Definitely bring something to drink and your basics like lip gloss, lotion, hairspray, etc.

  • We suggest doing what makes you feel most empowered! We want to see the happiest version of your authentic self. For some, that includes working with a hairstylist, makeup artist, wardrobe stylist, etc. For others, that doesn’t resonate at all. Both ways are perfect, whatever makes you feel most confident and comfortable is what you should do.

  • We love moodboards for this reason!! Feel free to send us any screenshots, Pinterest boards, Google docs, however you gather your inspiration. We can analyze these to determine what specifically you love about the photos, and how we can infuse a similar style into our photo session. We don’t recommend trying to exactly recreate photos that you’ve seen — we can take inspiration and run with it, making imagery that fits the vibe you like, and is totally unique to you.

  • You’ll want to take into consideration how many outfits, locations, and final images you’d like to have. This also depends on kids or other people that might be in the photos, and the timing of everything. We can help talk through all of this if you’re not sure what to do.

  • We hear this a lot. Don’t worry about that, at all! We’ll make the shoot feel natural and you’re almost certainly going to have a lot of fun! We like to keep things laid back. As we wander our location(s) we’ll talk and probably laugh a lot, working with our surroundings and the lighting to make images that are flattering and full of life. I’ll lightly direct you into poses that feel natural, and incorporating movement and the inspirations of the moment. Creative flow loves flexibility and working with the present moment, which happens to be my favorite thing to do! We want you to feel totally comfortable, and to have a great time!

  • Absolutely! Feel free to bring along any human or animal companions you’d like, all are welcome. They can always jump in for some photos of you two together too.

  • I would LOVE to! I shoot on both 35mm film and Instax film. An extra rate will apply for the film and processing.
