I cannot say enough about Sweet Beginnings. Sure, there are many photographers to choose from these days but Stephanie has that “something special.” Our family has gone through some real trauma and our pictures were a sort of way to celebrate coming through a difficult season with our love for one another at the core. It’s interesting how much emotion was revealed on our faces (especially mine). The pictures are keepsakes and they tell a beautiful story of my family, our strength, our devotion, and our love and adoration. Stephanie’s Subjects for life I declare ❤️

If you are looking for a maternity, newborn, or family photographer, look no further! Stephanie is the best of the best! I came across her page after seeing the photos she captured of a friend, and I was immediately blown away. The photos she captures are like no other. They captivate you, tell a story, and give you all the feels. She is so talented and her work is stunning! Stephanie captured photos of me and my little guys, and they are some of my favorites that I will cherish forever. Stephanie is the sweetest, timely in her responses, and pours her heart into her passion and business. We can’t wait to have her capture family photos for us in the future!

If you want an amazing maternity/newborn/family photographer who will create beautiful images that will last a lifetime, look no further! Stephanie Has an amazing eye to curate beautiful images of you and your family! I’m so glad I found her- she’s got an infectious personality and is consistent with getting images to you in a timely manner. Also, who doesn’t want to dress up in fabulous dresses and not have to worry about purchasing an outfit for yourself?! She even has clothes for Littles and gives advice how to dress husbands. I miss her being my go to photographer in Ca, but love seeing her business grow in Oregon!

Not only is Rachel a master (if not to say THE MASTER) in the field of Boudoir photography but she is a MASTER Photoshop Ninja and one of the most wonderful, empathetic, empowering, caring and beautiful human beings I have ever had the honor to meet. I got EVERYTHING I was promised out of my session and MORE. From the moment I stepped into the room, she made me feel at ease and brought out everything I would have NEVER been able to see myself. I will be forever in her debt for that and I will be FOREVER grateful that she does what she does, that she does it the way she does and that she is EXACTLY the WAY SHE IS. PURE AND UTTER AWESOMENESS ! (and Sean working 'behind the scence' is exactly the same way : AWESOME) These two are EMPOWERMENT AT IT'S FINEST !!!!

Rachel is an amazing artist. I'm a normally shy person and upon meeting her (pregnant and in a robe, no less!) she made me feel like I had known her forever. The pictures I have from her are beautiful and I am excited to have them to look back on. The costs for services were exactly as advertised and the price for the digital pictures and photo book were what you would pay for as high quality a product provided.

I’ve been working with Olga for years now and I’m constantly blown away by her incredible attention to detail and natural ability to capture the exact way in which people wish to be seen. She emotes through her photography as if it were a language of its own. Olga has a diverse range of shooting styles, she’s adaptable, friendly and works around models in order to create the very best images. Her eye is impeccable and she gives great direction as needed. Whether you’re booking her for your big day or to capture your essence in that haunted house you’ve always had your eye on, you will not be disappointed by her uniquely stunning photos.

Olga is a photography GENIUS!!! From the way she meticulously works to create beautiful sets, to her lighting, to her editing….she is truly someone I admire. Book her ASAP!!!

Olga is extremely talented, knowledgeable and a absolute joy to work with. She has all the tools to make the best photo shoot imaginable happen and is very creative. Hands down the best photographer in the business, I highly recommend you come to her for all your photography needs.

Jessica is such a skilled artist and really made me feel at ease during the whole project. Great attention to detail and very organized as well. I highly recommend her services!

Megan did incredible work during our photoshoot! She made us feel so comfortable, from playing fun music to bringing mimosa for us, to her easy going demeanor. Would highly recommend this experience and business!

I have shot with Libra Moon Boudoir a few times now and I already can’t wait until my next session!! They make it such a fun experience! They cheer you on and offer posing tips and do whatever it takes to get the shot! We have done both indoor and outdoor boudoir and they’re always down to wing it and get really creative and work with the surrounding environment and props! I can’t recommend them enough the pics are gorge!

Kristal was friendly, approachable, organized, and professional. On top of all that, she's a very talented photographer. I was so happy with the final photos. Highly recommend!

Kristal was great! We originally scheduled a newborn session, but due to the wild fire evacuation, we have to re-schedule it to a later date, and do a family session instead. She responded very quickly and was able to make all accommodations. During the session time, she was able to quickly decide where to take what kind of pictures at our house, and that is very important to a family with a toddler and a newborn. The whole session goes very smoothly despite the fact that our toddler does not want to cooperate at all. Kristal was able to make all adjustments and the final work looks perfect with our toddler actually in the frame of the picture. With our little one, Kristal is really good at soothing babies and the final picture was super cute. We were very happy with her session and will definitely recommend her to everyone!

Kristal's photography is stunning! Her eye and attention to detail shows up in her consistently amazing work. When Kristal shows up for work she is very present with her clients. I have worked with Kristal on a variety of projects and on each one she has done a stellar job. Kristal also occasionally works as a photographer for my company Pdx Photo Lounge and I have had countless clients tell me how great she was, not only at taking pictures but at making everyone in the room feel great!

This is the best space EVER to rent for any studio needs, she has everything and always has such an amazing clean, well lit space. I’ve booked twice now, and all my clients are impressed and It gives me so much versatility. You will not regret it!

I absolutely ADORE this studio! So many wonderful props, gorgeous furniture, incredible natural lighting, and the host is so accommodating and sweet! I’ve shot boudoir shoots here multiple times and I will continue to come back💗

This is my go to Portland space for rental for my boudoir photography business! Shelby is such a kind host and so flexible. She’s extremely helpful and makes sure the studio is always in tip top shape for her renters! I am so glad I found this wonderful space!

I licensed Nick's images for my company newsletter and immediately doubled the response rate! He's easy to work with, has such a big variation of PNW-specific content, and a diverse subject pool. A local business dream.

Such a great encounter! Nick was so fun to work with, made sure I felt comfortable, and the photos came out amazing! 10/10 would recommend.

It was such a pleasure working with Nick to conduct our Small Business Open House for Metro and Multnomah County. He was extremely professional throughout the process. His prompt responses, and superb organization skills made our process so much easier. And his excellent eyes for the photoshoot. I highly recommend him as a professional photographer. Thank you Nick!

I loved my experience with Elaine at BlackCat Boudoir. This was my first time getting professional photos and she calmed my nerves, and made me feel laugh and feel comfortable. The studio space is lovely and Elaine was so easy and fun to work with. I ordered a photo book from her, and it arrived faster than expected and turned out beautifully!

My session with Elaine was great, I had never had any experience in front of the camera, and she was very knowledgable in what would work best for me as well as making sure that my shoot was totally unique. I would recommend Elaine to anyone who wants something for themselves that they can treasure forever! She's a very sweet, and comfortable person to be around, definitely someone worth getting to know. Very classy, sexy, and fun!

Elaine was awesome! From start to finish, it was a wonderful process. She contacted me several times before the shoot, reminding me what to bring and wear which was helpful for someone who had not done a boudoir shoot before. Her studio is in a quiet neighborhood so parking is easy to find (and free!). Elaine's studio is great; lots of backdrops and examples of her work so you know what you're getting into. I felt very comfortable there and Elaine is so helpful, telling you how to position your body for the sexiest and most flattering shots. She has some little accessories so if you aren't a boudoir aficionado with all the bells and whistles, she's got you covered. I really loved the process of getting hair and make up done by a professional. It's amazing the difference it has on your perception of yourself as compared to doing your own hair and make up. The images I received were beautiful-they captured the most ideal version of myself and my significant other thought they were amazing. I felt like a Victoria's Secret model! I would recommend it to any lady who wants some wonderful pictures for herself or someone else, who wants to try something adventurous, or who just wants a confidence boost.

As a fellow photographer, there are very few people who I trust to be behind the camera when I'm modelling, and Suma is without a doubt one of those talented visionaries. Suma is not only a skilled artist, but an extraordinary human being. They always make me feel comfortable and gorgeous during a shoot.

I have worked with Suma on two separate occasions and have thoroughly enjoyed my experience. They do such a great job of making models comfortable and respecting their boundaries to create really stunning shots. They're also organized, prompt, and work with their clients to create a vision both sides are happy with. I highly recommend working with Suma and can't wait to do it again!

Suma is who I'll always think to go to whenever I need to shoot something that will have me looking and feeling my best. She has a way of conveying your story to film in a way that's both honest, and romantic. I fall in love with myself all over again when I see my boudoir photo set. I can't wait to shoot with Suma again!
