Spring has Sprung!

We are so excited as we prepare the studio for our Annual Bunny Sessions! What could be more fun than a Mini Portrait session with Live Bunnies!

Above you will see our 2018 set design along with our model Gracee. The bunnies have just been born, so we will not know what they look like until the actual event. It will be a surprise to all of us!

Here is What is new this year ~

~This will be the last Bunny session hosted at our SE Portland location, next year this event will be in our new Gresham Location.

~We are proud to be offering longer Mini Sessions for our special needs clients. We believe that not all children fit within a cookie cutter approach, and at Visual Impressions Photography we allow for your unique qualities to shine, be that an extra chromosome, a touch of awesome autism, or any other spark you bring to the table. Just let us know when booking your session that your little gem will need our “extended mini” and you’re all set! Please note that while we believe all children are special, these extended mini sessions will be reserved for our special needs clients.

~This year our set features real birch trees to bring a more realistic approach to your Birch Treesportraits. This is our best set yet and we cannot wait to feature your child in their own artistic portrait session.

~ This year we will be limiting our sessions to children only. This allows us to focus solely on your child/children, giving you the best portraits possible. Your session fee includes up to 3 siblings with the ability to add more children (immediate family only) for a nominal fee.

Suggestions on wardrobe ~

~We all want your children to look their best, so we are here to help you with your clothing choices. Since spring is full of color, we choose our set based on the ability to cater to many different color and design choices available. Try and avoid mixing different prints among siblings. If one child wears a sweet dress with print, have your other child wear a solid but fun color so they don’t compete with each other.

~Shoes, While shoes are so much fun to wear and accessorize with; please be aware that when photographing children 2 years and younger, shoes often show only the sole. With this in mind, we will photograph your child in a variety of poses, some of which may include removal of the shoes, so we can highlight those adorable toddler toes!

~Hats are adorable and absolutely fun to use in portraits. Please bring your child’s hat with you instead of having them wear it to the session. This allows us to capture your child without the hat (and hat hair) and then with the hat as well, giving you options.

Ages that work best with our mini Bunny Sessions ~

~While I believe you are only as old as you feel, these sessions work best for the ages 6mo. – 10yrs. This doesn’t mean you cannot schedule a session for your 13 year old, please do. We simply offer a range to help guide your decision process. Personally my children (now 12 and 10) still absolutely love these sessions and beg me to photograph them each year.

~Infants are fun to work with and we do provide a fun cracked egg shell for those unable to sit solo at the time of their session.

I look forward to this year of giggles, laughs, and bunnies. Your children feel like my children by the end of your session. Feel free to book your session here and view our investment information here.

Bunnies from our 2012 session.

Bunnies!  How much would your kids love to play with baby bunnies? Just imagine how precious the photos of their joy and excitement would be.

A lot of studios give you stuffed animals, but at Visual Impressions, we have baby bunnies for spring photos.  The difference you see in the joy, enthusiasm and tenderness in your children’s photos is tremendous.  Children are mesmerized and they forget the camera is even there.  That’s how I get the best photos!

I can’t believe it is closing in on spring already. These are my very favorite mini sessions and they’re just around the corner.

Spring Event, bunny, easter

2014 session

This year we have 7 bunnies coming to join us from a local breeder in Salem, OR. These bunnies are handled with care from a very young age and come to us ready to play! As our mini sessions take off our bunnies are expected to be about 2-3 lbs each, tiny precious bundles matched only by our own precious little children for cuteness.

Every year we choose a custom background that enhances the experience and creates a unique and special experience for our young clients. The sessions this season will begin March 14th and go through March 20th, they usually fill up fast so please contact us soon to reserve your spot!

Christmas, Christmas photo session, Santa

BLOG

I LOVE the Christmas season and all it stands for; giving, love, family, togetherness, I could keep going but you get the idea. One of the ways we like to celebrate our Christmas holiday at Visual Impressions Photography is by inviting Santa into our studio and offering private mini sessions with Santa.

We capture beautiful images of your child with the Jolly Ole Elf without the lines, noise, and pressure found in malls. Our Santa is the real deal and cares about each child, asking great questions and engaging with them on their level.  These special photos become holiday treasures for many of my repeat clients!

The best part about our Santa Charity event is that $25 from each session goes to benefit Doernbecher Children’s Hospital – a great way to purchase portraits you want while supporting children and their families during this holiday season.

Our event this year runs from November 30- December 8th. These special sessions with Santa always fill fast so please contact us today to reserve your spot and give your children a memory of a lifetime. If you want pictures and are not sure how your little one will do with Santa, we understand and are offering portraits on our custom backdrop without Santa on December 1st. so you can still join in the fun!

For our complete list of packages she our limited edition price list.

Christmas, Christmas photo session, days until Christmas

Book your Christmas photo session with Visual Impressions Photography today!

Book your Christmas photo session with Visual Impressions Photography today!

You have 66 days until Christmas.  Are you the kind of person who takes that as a challenge or are you terror-filled into immobility?  Around the studio, we’re getting ready for Christmas pictures and 66 days does not feel like a lot of time!

If you are planning to give family photos as Christmas presents this year, you still have time.  But the process does take a bit of planning:  scheduling photo shoot, editing the pictures taken, choosing your photos, ordering them and then waiting for them to come in.  It’s not a last-minute process.  Gifts worth a life-time are worth planning and preparation!

I still have time in my schedule for photos that you will get back in time for Christmas, but don’t wait.  The window of opportunity is closing.

Get in touch at info@visualimpressions.org or (503) 320-3076 to book your session today!

Supporting Local Schools and Community

Learning Garden

Verne A Duncan Elementary School builds an outdoor classroom/garden

For those of us with school aged kids we know more than ever what a big role our schools and community play in raising our children. This time of year is ripe with auction procurement and committee meetings by dedicated parents who want to improve their schools and the programs they offer. One such school that is gearing up for an April auction is Verne A Duncan Elementary in Happy Valley, OR. Through a partnership with Visual Impressions, this school benefits from photographic coverage of this ongoing project that their auction will further support.

Because we value our Community Visual Impressions strives to connect with schools and businesses around us. One way we go about doing this is by donating to our local school held auctions. While most auctions don’t happen until March or even April it is important to start thinking how to support your local schools now. Each auction item schools are able to procure, goes into either a silent auction or a live auction–for those oh so coveted items–for parents and community members to bid on. The hope for all of us is to get a good deal on an item but we must not forget that even more important is to remember that the function of this is to raise money for our schools. So you want a beach house for the weekend, you know what it is worth and don’t want to bid past that cap? Try another approach, think “donation” that comes with a pretty cool perk, this will get us all past the initial draw of “whats that worth” and a little closer to doing a great thing for our schools.

Visual Impressions makes it a point to donate to at least 3 local schools in our area of Portland Oregon, by doing so we are creating connections that will continue to support our schools for years to come. Our clients are our neighbors, friends, and sometimes even our family; it is important to remember this as the school we are supporting today might be the school our children attend tomorrow.

If you are interested in donating items to your local school auction please contact your schools PTA or secretary for the person in charge of procurement. I hope everyone enjoys a prosperous auction season and if you need a donation to your school, remember to contact your neighbor, Visual Impressions Photography.

Christmas Giveaway, CONTEST, FREE PHOTOGRAPHS, FujiFilm, fujifilm instax, Photography Specials, Win a Camera

This Christmas Season I am offering something special to my clients. In addition to our annual drawings for a winner of a portrait session on Christmas Eve and New Years, we have decided to offer another fun little contest; see below for details on all three chances to win big.

In order to be entered into the Christmas Eve and New Years contest you have to “Like” us on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/VisualImpressions and include a post with your favorite picture of yourself. This can be funny, serious, or just plain wacky (keep it appropriate though people this is a family business LOL). Along with your picture please include a few words about us or our work, make sure your comments/photo’s are public or I won’t be able to see that you posted. Once this is completed you will be entered into the drawing and a random name will be drawn on Christmas Eve and posted at Midnight! Similarly you will do the same thing for the New Years Drawing only this time you will also include your New Year’s Resolution!

This is going to be fun. Now about the fun little contest we are adding this year; We will be giving away a FujiFilm instax 210 camera!

This is a great camera and much better than the old Polaroids. To get your hands on this pretty little number just “like” our page (link above) and post a link on your page (public please) along with what you would do with it. Let the fun begin. The instax will be given away on the 24th of December at random. (One entry per day).

Good luck and Merry Christmas!
