• 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!

Some From the First Part of Bailee’s Senior Pictures Session

Posted in Girls Senior Pictures show hide 1 comment

Some of My Favorites From the First half of Bailee’s Senior Pictures Session

Bailee is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside, which makes her an absolute treat to photograph.    Bright and cheerful with a killer smile and those great big beautiful eyes that just dance and sparkle - Ya just wanna hug her! 

So it was really important that we captured her inner sparkle as well as her terminal cuteness in her senior pictures series.

I think she was pretty nervous when we first started our session, which is pretty normal.  After all, this isn’t something that most seniors do every day.  But once we got rolling, we both had so much fun we didn’t want to quit.  And I think her mom was even more excited about what we were getting than I was.

What made it even more fun is we found new place to work that no one had ever been photographed before and we were able to really explore the possibilities.  I didn’t want to quit, but we had to save some time for her beach senior pictures session (see the calendar for upcoming beach session dates.)

Now’s the time to be scheduling your senior pictures session. 

We’re rapidly approaching the start of school and deadlines for submitting something GOOD to the yearbook.   Call the studio at 503-588-0902, or click on the contact button above and we’ll start by scheduling your senior pictures consultation. 

Then we’ll set out to create some senior pictures for you that will make your friends and family say “THAT’S SO YOU”

Sarah’s Studio Session – Senior Pictures

Posted in studio photographs No comments

Not all senior pictures need to be done outdoors…

We Oregonians love the outdoors, and love our summers and falls, so it’s only natural that when it comes to senior pictures, we tend to do them outside.

But great senior pictures can be created in the studio as well.

Sarah is REALLY into fashion.  She told me at the end of this session her closet is color coordinated by season!  So she wanted some really different, fashion oriented, glamourous senior pictures to add to her collection.

Here’s some of what we created the other day.  She brought four or five of her favorite outfits, and we  had great fun creating something a little different than what you typically see on senior picture websites.

A studio session can be a part of any senior pictures session. 

If this is the type of style you’re looking for, call us at 503-588-0902 or use the CONTACT button above to schedule your senior pictures consultation.  Then we’ll create something that really captures the real you – and make your friends and family exclaim  – “THAT’S SO YOU!”

Is there Too Much Sax and Violins in Senior Pictures!

Posted in Information of Interest, Uncategorized, unique senior portraits No comments

Want  Sax or Violins in your senior pictures?

Ok, so it was a terrible pun, but it made you look, didn’t it?

Every year, we photograph several thousand music students in the school bands, choirs and orchestras.  So it’s only natural that we also create a lot of senior pictures for these musicians as well.

In fact, if you’re a Facebook friend, chances are we photographed you too.  That’s probably why we sent you a friends request.

Now not everyone who is or was involved in music wants their instrument as a part of their senior pictures series.  But some do.  So we like to look for interesting ways to photograph you with your instrument, and the slide show above is just a few examples of some of the things we’ve done. 

I’d love to catch a violin player in the morning mist or a sax player in the sunset.  You can see we did catch a guitar player/vocalist by the lights of the night in one of our Nightscapes senior pictures sessions.

I love to find interesting places, and interesting angles, so you that you don’t simply get typical musician senior pictures.

So, if you want to include your instrument in your senior pictures,

call us at 503-588-0902 or click the CONTACT button above and send us a message.  We’ll get back to you and schedule your senior pictures consultation, and design a session to capture the real essence of YOU.

Special Senior Pictures Mini-Session Event – Saturday September 11

Posted in special events, special offers No comments

Are your senior pictures needs simple?

We know that the current economy has people watching their expenses very carefully, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have the best in senior pictures.  After all, this is a very special year, and you can’t go back a year or two from now when things pick up and have your senior pictures done then.

So, we’ve put together a very special one-day senior portrait mini-session event.

On Saturday, September 11th, we’ll be scheduling half-hour senior pictures mini-sessions at one of several locations

We’re still working out details, but we’ll probably be at a park/outdoors type setting for half the day and at an urban type setting for half the day.

During each session, we’ll photograph you in one outfit, three or four different settings, and create about 15-20 poses.

We’ll post them on a secure webpage, you’ll pick your favorite, we’ll retouch and finish the image, and you’ll receive an 8×10, two 5×7 and four wallets of that pose, fully finished and ready to celebrate your senior year.

Great senior pictures on a budget – All for $199

Of course, you can order additional prints if you’d like as well at our normal print prices.  You can also have more poses retouched for $15 each, and order additional prints from these as well.

Of course, there’s some requirements to allow us to do this:

  • Sessions must be pre-scheduled and pre-paid.  ($100 at the time you schedule the session, the remainder at the beginning of the session)
  • No other special senior pictures offers can be combined with this session.
  • No Pre-Portrait consultation
  • No post-session presentation. Your poses will be posted online, and you’ll pick your favorite.

We can offer this special price because we’re not doing the normal pre-portrait consultation, nor are you coming in for a presentation after your session.  That allows us to eliminate some of the time we’d normally spend, reduce our costs, and offer you a very special deal.  It’s a win-win.

Call the studio today to schedule your appointment.  Our number is 503-588-0902.  Or you can click the contact button at the top of the page and we’ll get back to you.

Half the fee  must be paid when you schedule your time to hold your time in the schedule, and is not refundable should you cancel unless we are able to refill your spot.

What a great deal!.  The BEST in senior pictures at a very affordable price.
