Portland Portrait & Headshot Photographer

Portraits and professional headshots that look like the person, not the pose.

Ambient Flare photographs portraits and headshots in Portland, Oregon, in the studio or on location around the city. Sessions are relaxed and unhurried — most people arrive convinced they are bad at being photographed, and the work is mostly about getting past that. Good for professional headshots, personal portraits, musicians and performers, and anyone who needs a picture that does not look like a corporate stock photo.

Studio or on location anywhere around Portland. Outdoor sessions work best in the couple of hours before sunset.
How long it takes
Most headshot sessions need two hours. Personal portrait sessions often run longer because the good frames tend to arrive once people relax.

The edited high-resolution gallery with personal print rights, delivered in four to six weeks, with a short preview set within a few days.

Sessions are $150 per hour

Two-hour minimum, and that includes the edited high-resolution gallery. Tell me what you have in mind and I will reply personally.
