Portraits

 Im/ Micro session*

This is a good session if you are looking for a portrait to put on your social media accounts, yearbook or website to look more credible than having a selfie or cropping yourself out of a wedding photo. Everyone should have one or two good shots to look more professional for your personal brand or your business brand. Sometimes those are one and the same.

• Half hour photo session. One outfit. One location.
• 2-3 proofs to choose from (more proofs means way harder to choose!)
• 1 final high res edited digital images
• All rights to use as you please, wherever you please
• $150

f/ Focused session*

This is the most popular session. It’s for anyone looking for a little variety on what they show out there on the web or in print. You’re ready to have different photos for your different web pages, social media accounts and your cover photo and profile photo like the “hello” close up, fun and the more “down to business” poses. You’ll have them all!

• One hour photo session. Two outfits. One general location.
• 7-10 proofs to choose from
• 5 final high res edited digital images
• All rights to use as you please, wherever you please
• $265

dr/ Dynamic range session*

You’re a change agent taking over the world! You love to change it up and show your different sides or maybe just your different shoes, more than the average jane. You love using multiple portraits on the different mediums. You want to show off for your brand and have different shots of yourself on your website, profile and cover photos.

• Up to two hours for photo session. Three-four outfits.
• Can choose two location, if desired. Close by is best since a location change is included in the session time.
• 12-15 proofs to choose from
• 10 final high res edited digital images
• All rights to use as you please, wherever you please
• $495

Also offering travel and abstract photography photos for print.

When and where and what:

• My shoots typically take place outside in natural light (up to) an hour after sunrise. If you prefer to shoot in your favorite coffee shop or work location we can do that too. The location is totally up to you (within reason, of course).
• I shoot in Portland city proper or anywhere I’m traveling to. If I’m not traveling near you, you are free to pay my travel expenses to get me there.
• If you prefer an evening shoot that can be arranged as well. About an hour before sunset also has wonderful light.
• What not to wear or conversely what should you wear for your photoshoot? I’ve got you covered, just ask me!

To prepare^ for your branded portraits, answer these questions:

• Where will you be using your photos? What applications (website, social media profiles, book jacket, portfolio)?
• What feelings do you want to come across in your photos?
• What are your values (personal and/or business)?
• What are three adjectives that describe your brand (personal or business)?
• Close in shots? Full body? Seated? Standing? Partial body?
• Casual or formal or both?
• What images do you have that you must emulate?
• Any images you’ve seen that you dislike and don’t want to even attempt? 

Melissa created a set of stunning photos for me to use with my yoga & energy business. It was the perfect combination of listening to what I needed while adding beauty and contrast I could never have created on my own. She picked multiple amazing locations and encouraged multiple outfits giving me a large variety of images to mix-and-match into my marketing. Every time I use one of Melissa’s images, someone comments about how awesome it is. The results speak for themselves. — Stewart
