Experience

1. Photographer

   Studio B Photography & Gallery

   Aug 1996 — Present

   Specializing in Headshots in Portland OR & Lake Oswego as well as lifestyle marketing Images. If you do your homework, you\'ll see that Studio B was only named in August of 2019, but it\'s a rebrand/brand-combining of my two businesses - Prints Charming Photography (est 8/1/96) & Photo Media (est 2016). Prints Charming was clever/catchy 20+ years ago, but just a tad too cute for the level of clients I now serve.When I hung the proverbial shingle in \'96, it was with the intent to lean toward business services. Steeped in retail management and merchandising for 20 years, it seemed the perfect fit. After 20 years as \"Prints Charming\", I now get to pour that pent up creativity into helping other businesses to grow THEIR bottom line with award-worthy, photographic marketing images, so the name just had to go.(guaging by the caliber of new clients on my calendar #brandingmatters) To those of you that have frequented me through this third/likely-final name (i.e. Portland Rose Festival Foundation, Principal Financial, Buckley Law and many more) THANK YOU for knowing/trusting that I wasn\'t selling the biz. STILL ME, thus the B:^)
