These ladies are so great! They are part of the Vixen Portraits team and we could not do what we do without their talent (and humor!). They are awesome at doing hair and makeup!! We were in the city doing a shoot awhile back and Holli and I decided to do a fashion style photo shoot of them! Here are some of my favorites:
Holli and I have so much fun with them and we can’t wait to see where the Vixen line takes us next!!
I had such a wonderful time spending the morning with Matt and Becky for their engagement session! We started off at a park in Lebanon and then ended at Matt’s parents house which is where their wedding reception is going to be.
Matt + Becky: I can’t wait for your wedding in June — it’s going to be a beautiful event, plus tons of fun! I truly enjoyed getting to know the two of you and I feel very honored that you picked me to capture your special day! Thank you!! Below are some of my favorites, enjoy!:
This year I am sponsoring an event close to my heart: Relay for Life at Oregon State University. This event is the largest fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. The reason it is close to my heart is because when I was in college my Mom, Dad, and cat all had Cancer in the same year. It was absolutely devastating. Luckily, my parents survived the Cancer.
We need all the support we can get at this event! The event is this weekend May 14th & 15th in the Memorial Union Quad. I donated a gift certificate for the silent auction as well as provided a special discount to the participants . For more information go to the website:
Luminaries are written in memory or in honor of somebody’s battle against cancer. Below is a beautiful photo taken of the luminaries by Michael Lee:
This is a day early but I wanted to tell all you Mother’s “Happy Mother’s Day”!! Motherhood is a hard job and we all deserve a little praise 
I will be spending my weekend with my daughter, husband, mother, sister, nieces, and grandmother — it’s going to be a perfect Mother’s Day! Little Lily couldn’t wait until tomorrow to give me the gift she made! I love it!!:
Below are some images I took at the historic Whiteside Theatre. They are giving free tours and since I love historical old buildings I had to go! I wish modern architecture had this kind of detail:
When was the last time you had your portrait taken? Grab your mom, girlfriends, kids, whomever and come to the Garden event this Friday at Atavista Farm in Brownsville! There will be all kinds of fun stuff going on!! Here’s the info:
I hope to see you there!! ♥ Sara
When I was on my shoot yesterday evening I took these beautiful images. I am so lucky to live in such a beautiful place! Oregon has it all – rivers, mountains, valley’s, the ocean, plus culture, nice people and good coffee!
I love old barely standing barns:
There is an Angel waving at me from the clouds:

I want to introduce you to the ladies behind the Vixen! We are a team of four women that joined together to create the perfect boudoir experience for you. Holli and I are the photographers, and Meaghan and Chelsea are the hair and makeup artists. A few weekends ago we went to my studio to take some photos for the Vixen website. Below are a few of my favorites:
Me & Holli:
Most of these images were taken by Holli’s wonderful husband Jeff. Thanks Jeff!! To view the Vixen site click HERE
Our next *Boutique Vixen Shoot is Saturday, April 17th. We still have a few spots available so if you are interested in booking this please contact me.
Holli and I are extremely busy in the summer with weddings and senior portraits so our Vixen shoots are going to be very limited during the months of June-September. If you are thinking of doing a session you should try to schedule it in April or May while we have a lot of shoot dates available.
