Portland Portrait Photography-Jewel Images by Julia Radlick

What an amazing night! Over 200 people came to our brand new studio to celebrate our Grand Opening and help support the Humane Society of Central Oregon. It was one of the best turnouts for a Chamber of Commerce Ribbon cutting, and everyone had so much fun! Wine, food, fun and furry portraits were the theme of the night and my thanks goes out to so many, many people who made it happen.

My Marketing Director, Michelle Yacullo, is my right hand. Without her this simply would not have happened. Lynn Ouchida and Pat Roden from HSCO are my new heroes! Thank you ladies for giving us this amazing opportunity to photograph your employees and major donors. We are thrilled with the results and can’t wait to hang the display at HSCO so the rest of the world can see it! All in all, the display is valued at approximately $15,000 and we couldn’t think of a better organization to give this to. We LOVE you and all you do for animals!

Denise Tate of Birdies Cafe in Redmond, your food was AMAZING! Thank you for your help, time and such a delicious food spread. It was devoured. Thank you to Shirley and Eduardo of Art Impressions and Framing. You saved my fanny on those last minute images! And thank you to Wine Styles, Birkenstock, Trinity Vineyards and KOHD News for your generous gifts to our raffle. We raised over $500 for the Humane Society just from raffle tickets!

Finally, thank you to my sweet fiance who has put up with me for the last frantic three weeks as we attempted to shoot, edit and create this display in record time. I love you, hunny.

We truly hope you had an amazing time with us. We will cherish the memory always and we are already planning to make this event an annual one, so start giving back to the Humane Society and maybe we’ll see you and your dog on the HSCO walls nest year! In the meantime, here is a taste of how our 20 sessions went. We photographed 37 dogs, 6 cats, 2 lizards, a guinea pig and a ferret. So fun!

I give you, the blooper reel. AKA:

A great time was had in Nashville at Professional Photographer’s of America Imaging USA convention. Thanks to everyone who attended. I really appreciate your support during my presentations, both at the WHCC booth and the ProSelect booth. The presentation on Vendor Relationships went over great with many folks appreciating all the ideas put forth.
