  • That’s SO YOU! Unique Senior Pictures from Encore! Portrait Design, Salem Oregon

    There's no one else on the face of the earth exactly like you. You're unique. Shouldn't your senior pictures be unique as well?

    Of course you want to look GOOD. That's a given. But shouldn't your senior portraits also say something about who you are? About what drives your life? About your passions, your interests, your dreams?

    We think so. And that's why we get to know you - well - before you ever step in front of a camera. We custom design each senior pictures session to represent you. No standard locations, no cookie cutter poses. And especially no senior pictures that look just like everyone elses.

    See, we don't have a studio style. It's not about us. We think your senior pictures should represent YOUR style. That's why every session is different.

    We watch for the things you do naturally; your natural expressions, your natural body language. We want your personality to come shining through.

    And most of all, we want your friends and family to exclaim "WOW THAT'S SO YOU" when they see your senior pictures. So click on the contact button above to schedule YOUR senior portrait consultation, and let us design the perfect senior pictures session for you!

Senior Pictures at the Beach – Class of 2012

Want some of your senior pictures at the beach?

Well, we’ve scheduled our first beach trip for Saturday, July 2. The mornings full, but we still have room in the afternoon.

We’ve discovered a fantastic beach where it’s rarely windy, unlike most of the Oregon Coast. Most of the time, it’s shorts and t-shirts weather, not sweatshirts like most of the coast.

Plus it’s got everything you might want for beach pictures, and a whole lot more.

You can have beach pictures for all or part of your session, but in order to schedule a session, you’ll need to get in for your design consultation ahead of time.

If the beach is special to you, and you’d like part of your senior pictures there, then call us at 503-588-0902 to schedule your consultation.

Gimme Shelter – a version you’ll want to listen to again

Ran across this in my wanderings of the internet. I’ve listened to it about a dozen times since I found it earlier this evening. Love the sound, and love the fact that it’s musicians from all around the world collaborating to create something great.

Congratulations to the Class of 2011

To all our seniors, and in fact to the entire class of 2011, congratulations!

Did you know that only about67% of those who started high school with you graduated with you?

Pretty amazing, huh.  But you stuck in there, worked hard, and you did it!

Now, on to the rest of life, and oh what a wonderful adventure it is. Your potential is unlimited if you simply have a dream, believe in yourself, and work to make it happen.

We’re counting on you, because you are our future!

Nightscapes – Senior Pictures after Dark

nightscapes - unique senior pictures

A Very Unique Senior Pictures Experience…

Nightscapes – senior pictures after dark.

The world looks different; it feels different after the sun goes down.

Night people are indeed a different breed of people.  And that’s what make it so fun to do these senior portrait sessions.

This is but one example of our Nightscapes Senior Pictures sessions.

This is one of my favorites from last year.  There’s so many stories that could be told with this photograph, limited only by imagination, creativity and time to create them.

When I look at this, I get a vision of a traveling musician, someone totally on his own, used to playing smoky blues clubs, moving from city to city, looking for the perfect venue, the perfect audience, all because nothing stirs his soul more than the music he creates and performs.

We’ve found Nightscapes Senior Pictures to be particularly popular with actors, musicians and the like; people who aspire to careers which are predominantly night time careers. They’re also popular with those who love to take advantage of the nightlife scene; dances, concerts, even coffee houses.

But the one thing to keep in mind is that

We only have a  limited number of Nightscapes Senior Pictures sessions available.

We’ll be doing Nightscape sessions between now and the end of October, but we can only do two per week (Tuesday and Thursday evening).  So, if this is the type of senior pictures you’d like to have in your collection, you need to reserve your slot soon.  Call the studio at 503-588-0902, or use the contact form at the top of the page to let us know you’d like something really unusual for your senior portraits.  Schedule your senior pictures consultation, and we’ll get you set up for a fun experience.

Nightscapes – the most unusual senior pictures you’ll see, from Encore! Portrait Design.

Lady Gaga, Move Over, the Ducks Have You Covered!

I saw this and loved it.  These guys are from the University of Oregon. I think, however, they need a new costumer!!
