Bunn Salarzon - home family photo session

At-Home Family Photo Shoots Portland, Oregon

I truly do love at-home family photo shoots; there’s so much more meaning when photographing in someone’s home. I am not known for backgrounds in my photos at all; if anything, I am known for how I seem to connect families in photographs rather than make them look posed or disinterested (in being photographed and/or each other). It’s not always easy to do, though! But, I try. The best way for me to get families to connect in photo is by reenacting how they are naturally without the camera around. And having yummy candies readily available works for when I need to bribe kids— and dads! haha!!

Indonesian Wedding Photography Featured on BRIDES.com!

BRIDES.com’s “45 Fascinating Wedding Traditions from Around the World” and we are number 20; hey, being the middleman isn’t bad. When they initially contacted me to feature this Indonesian Wedding Photography on their website, I was a little surprised because I went to Bali to photograph this wedding… five years ago this month. However, I still continue to get inquiries about it and I do not mind it at all! As a matter-of-fact, I am open to accepting destination wedding assignments again. Again? Yes. Wedding was something that I decided to part from in 2014, but, to be honest, I never fully “retired” from it because I still had a few weddings to honor and, also, I was assisting another Portland wedding photography company. Maybe this is a sign??

Sneak Peek! Outdoor Boudoir Photography Portland, Oregon

The word boudoir (bo͞o-dwär) from Boudoir Photography does derive from the French definition: a woman’s bedroom or private room; however, I believe that it shouldn’t be limited to only indoor. Women on the beach flock the shore in their best and expensive swimsuits that show just as much skin — if not more — than a Victoria’s Secret lingerie. As a boudoir photographer, it’s really interesting to see how my clients appear more comfortable in a swimsuit than lingerie.

Maternity Boudoir Photography in Black & White

I think it’s a great idea for a mama-to-be to have fun with her maternity photos; try something different from the traditional and consider a Maternity Boudoir Session … This mama wanted to document her last trimester, because she didn’t get a chance to do that with her first pregnancy, so she came to my studio to get pampered by one of the best makeup teams in Portland, OR then a little photo shoot with me. With her permission, here’s a quick look at her maternity boudoir photos. //Model: Christine //Hair & Makeup by Powder Inc.
