Portland Short Sessions

These aren't about squeezing an entire family photo shoot into twenty frantic minutes. With 45 minutes, we have enough time to settle in, wander a little, let the kids warm up, and allow the good stuff to happen naturally.

I'll guide you when you need it, but I'm mostly interested in what happens when you stop performing for the camera and simply spend time together.

The resulting photographs are a little bit portraiture and a little bit storytelling.

KIND WORDS

  • "Oh my goodness. I love these images so, so, so much, Kelli. The movement and the blocking, and the light and observational lens. Truly everything I hoped for and more. Fine art of my family and home. These are so special. Thank you.

    Kate Lines

  • "Wow! Thank you so much! These are amazing, I’ve just spent at least a full minute on each photo admiring your creative eye and how you captured us and our happy place. Thank you for these, we will treasure them!

    Esther McFarland

  • “I LOVE THEM! Your ability to frame a scene and capture light is breathtaking. I will cherish the photos forever. I will refer you to friends near and far. And I'd love to work with you again, as well!"

Who they're for

Families. Couples. Parents and kids. People who want photographs of themselves in a place they love.

You don't need matching outfits. You don't need perfectly behaved children. And you definitely don't need to know what to do in front of a camera.

The Sessions

Choosing your location

I'm very open to photographing you somewhere that feels personal to your family; your neighborhood, your home, Forest Park, the Gorge, or somewhere you've always wanted photographs.

When you inquire, we'll choose a location together based on the kind of photographs you're drawn to and what makes sense for your family.

NEXT STEPS

Book a Discovery Call

A quick 15-minute conversation to talk through your upcoming session, what you're envisioning, and the best location for you.

This is a complimentary consultation and does not commit you to booking a session.
